Radar Recordings is a Boston, Massachusetts-based independent record label co-founded in 2002 by Will Benoit and Michael Repasch-Nieves.[1] The label is entirely financed and maintained by the artists on the label themselves.[2]

The label's independent releases have collectively attracted over 20,000 listeners on the music website Last.fm.[3] Notable label artists such as Caspian, Constants, and Junius have had relative success in garnering a steadily growing fan base and positive critical attention.

Since the label's inception, Radar Recordings has held an annual "Last Day on Earth" concert event in Cambridge, Massachusetts headlined by Constants.[4] Describing these concerts, Alex Enman of Boston's premier rock magazine The Noise, expressed: "These shows are always a who’s who of Boston’s experimental and instrumental scene, and I’ve got high expectations."[5] Also, since its inception, the label has prominently featured and sponsored its own artists in the annual SXSW music festivals during its annual event segment "Goodbye South By".[6][7]

Several of the artists on Radar Recordings have also featured their work on independent labels The Mylene Sheath[8] and Make My Day Records.[9]
