Bear Kids Recordings is a boutique microlabel based in Decatur, Georgia. Bear Kids focuses on putting out excellent music by a growing family of regional artists in artful physical releases to accompany digital distribution. Most physical releases are limited to small editions and crafted with absolute love and care, sometimes by hand and sometimes with the help of a few small likeminded companies.

Bear Kids Recordings was started in name in 2010 by Justin Green to self-release his band Black Spots’ music. The label was re-launched in 2013 as a more serious endeavor and is slowly but steadily growing into a family of bands and artists that embody and embrace the spirit of craftsmanship and artistry.

Recent releases include albums from South Carolina’s cello-playing siren Sarah Clanton Schaffer and alt-folk five-piece Annabelle’s Curse out of Virginia, with several new releases on the horizon from other regional folk, pop, and indie rock artists.
