**Anyway Records** is an [independent record label](/source/Independent_record_label) based in [Columbus, Ohio](/source/Columbus,_Ohio), which specializes in a Columbus brand of [indie rock](/source/Indie_rock). It was established in 1991 by Bela Koe-Krompecher, called an "indie stalwart" by *[Entertainment Weekly](/source/Entertainment_Weekly)*.[1]

During the 1990s, the label was considered the most well-known and prolific label in Columbus.[2] *[The Other Paper](/source/The_Other_Paper)* called Anyway Records "arguably the most influential indie label in Columbus throughout the last half of the ‘90s."[3] The early 2000s saw a reduction in offerings. However, since 2007, the label has put out records by The Whiles, The Kyle Sowashes, Moviola, and The Lindsay.[4] "Song for Jerry", off of The Whiles album *Colors of the Year*, appeared on the documentary [*Murderball*](/source/Murderball_(film)).[5] The Whiles album *Sleepers Wake* was referred to by *[Columbus Alive](/source/Columbus_Alive)* as a "masterpiece."[6]

Past releases have included notable artists such as [Guided by Voices](/source/Guided_by_Voices), the [Ass Ponys](/source/Ass_Ponys), the [New Bomb Turks](/source/New_Bomb_Turks), and [Jenny Mae](/source/Jenny_Mae).[2]
