Recess Records is an independent record label founded in 1988. [1] Label founder Todd Congelliere (frontman for F.Y.P and Toys That Kill) initially made 100 cassettes of F.Y.P's songs and sold them at skateboard contests. [1] Two years later, Congelliere released a vinyl record, [1] F.Y.P's Extra Credit, an 11-song 7-inch record, [2] and the label took off from there. [1]

In between touring the U.S., Europe, and Japan, Congelliere began releasing records for fellow punk rock and DIY bands, eventually having a roster of close to 20 artists on his label. [2] Pinhead Gunpowder, fronted by Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, announced in April 2008 that a new 7" single from the band would be released on Recess Records in late May 2008. [3]
