From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Teenage USA Recordings is a Canadian independent record label, founded by Phil Klygo and Mark DiPietro[1][2] in the fall of 1997 on the back of Klygo's Skull Geek record label and fanzine.

The label, based in Toronto, has released records by artists such as Elevator, Eric's Trip, The Weekend, Pecola, Smallmouth, Peaches, Stink Mitt, Dan Bryk, Kid Lunch, Two-Minute Miracles, Blood Meridian and Mean Red Spiders.

Song Corporation bought into the label in 2000 and named Klygo and DiPietro as Song's Directors of Artistic Development.[3][4] Following Song's bankruptcy a short year later, the pair regained ownership of their label and signed a distribution deal with Outside Music. Eventually, DiPietro took a job at Outside, running their in-house label in addition to teenage USA, while Klygo started a new label called Weewerk.
