Anodyne Records

Anodyne Records was founded in 1997 in Kansas City by John Hulston marking its coming-out with the now eponymous live “Making Love EP” from seminal Kansas City indie rockers, Shiner. Over the intervening years, releases from The String and Return, Dirtnap, Overstep, The Hearers and the Pornhuskers helped cement the Anodyne reputation locally as the go-to label for landmark Kansas City bands. Starting in 2005, Anodyne Records began growing; signing bands such as The Architects, Roman Numerals, The Valley Arena & the legendary Meat Puppets. In 2008, Anodyne Records began working on new releases from Open Hand, The BellRays, Sirhan Sirhan and The Vox Jaguars in a continuing commitment to aiding unique artists to make killer albums.
