About Iron Tusk Records

We’re Iron Tusk Records Ltd., the apologetically loud, fiercely independent home for punk rock and metal bands with a roar that won’t quit. Founded and produced by Eddie Michaels, we’ve spent our days and nights sharpening riffs, pounding drums, and mic’ing up raw attitude so you can feel every power chord in your soul.

Our Origin Story

We didn’t start as a polished, corporate behemoth and were not going to be. We began a stubborn belief that punk and metal deserve a stage as unfiltered as they are. Eddie Michaels, our visionary founder and producer, took that DIY spirit and turned it into Iron Tusk Records.
