Fishrider Records


Fishrider Records is a music label based in Dunedin, New Zealand. It was established in 2006 by Ian Henderson.

Henderson plays drums for The Puddle, who are currently released on Fishrider Records. Henderson was previously a freelance music writer who wrote for the Southland Times newspaper in Invercargill between 1985 and 1997 and also for 1980s/90s Dunedin music fanzines Garage and Alley Oop.
