Revelation Records is an independent record label focusing originally
and primarily on hardcore punk. Formerly of New Haven, Connecticut, it
is now based in Huntington Beach, California. It was founded in 1987
by owner Jordan Cooper, along with Ray Cappo of Youth of Today, with
the sole intent of producing the Warzone Lower East Side Crew 7".
Within the year, they put out two more releases and a limited 4th
pressing of Youth of Today's Can't Close My Eyes 7", which had been
originally released on Positive Force Records, just for the two of
them to trade for vintage G.I.Joes and other action figures. In the
first three years, the label put out 23 releases and pressed
approximately 50,000 records, and it has continued to release an
average of 7-8 albums a year.
