Inman Street Records is a different kind of record label. By releasing all our music for free online, we can make new releases available very quickly - within days, instead of the months it usually takes to put together a CD or vinyl release. As the label evolves, you’ll hear everything from proper albums to demos, live recordings, b-sides, unreleased songs, and maybe even some reissues.
While everything here is made available gratis, we hope you’ll occasionally feel motivated to support the label and our bands. Every release has a button that allows you to contribute $5 via Paypal; even if you don’t have a Paypal account, you can easily use any major credit card. All of the money that we collect (minus a small transaction fee) is split with 70% going to the band, and 30% going to us. This allows the bands to see some reward for their work, allows us to offset the cost of our web hosting, and if there’s any left over it may help fund future projects we have in mind.
Note that we are not a non-profit, so your contribution is not tax-deductible.
In some cases, there may even be a proper CD or vinyl version of the music we post, made available by others. If there is, we’ll provide links to places you can purchase these items - please consider doing so.
If you’d like to get in touch for any reason, you can contact us via email at ramsey@inmanstreetrecords.com.
Inman Street Records is based in the Boston area. Cambridge, to be exact.

Inman Street Records is both run and created by Ramsey Tantawi (of Pipeline! and Concord Ballet Orchestra Players, among others). Jeff Breeze and Kyle Bittinger continue to provide invaluable assistance. The site is powered by Wordpress, the best blog software around (and open source to boot!). The design of the site is based on the freely-available Vistered Little Theme, which was created by Nik Iliadis and is currently maintained by Tom Howard.
Starting from the very left thumbnail, Jeff Breeze took background photos 1-4. Ramsey took photo number 5.
