Biography
We Did This Records is not a "record label". We Did This Records is a D.I.Y (do it yourself) non-profit music distribution / collective / blog / platform from the South African punk underground. They focus on local (South African) punk rock, folk, ska, crust, noise-rock, post-rock, hardcore, etc.
This loosely affiliated group / idea was conceived around July, 2011 and started out by re-releasing digital copies, for free, of out of print Crust / Punk records made by friends. Later they started having original releases and started this blog where they post related and non related stuff that nobody reads.

After this and many hours/days/years of trying to push one's head through a solid wall, We Did This Records adopted a donation based approach (music on the Bandcamp page is free if you enter a 0). This was in hopes of making some cash to do some cool things with and to alleviate the maddening stagnation.
Nobody involved makes a personal profit. Cash (in theory) is used for printing things (like free stickers which we have managed to do a few times so far), cost price CDs, sponsoring recordings, setting up shows, or whatever the collective brain-meat can agree on.
Regardless we still somehow function to a surprising extent, and with the help of Conley, Atomic Garden Studios Middelburg, Matt (Beard), Groundsweep Records, and people pitching in here and there to lend a hand, We Did This Records has somehow not only been a distribution platform, but has also recorded and released music on a negative bank balance. We have also thrown together some tours.
