Load Records was an independent record label based out of Providence, Rhode Island, specializing in noise and experimental music. Load Records was started in 1993 by Ben McOsker in order to release a 7-inch record for the band Boss Fuel. The label quickly became the most prominent source for noise music coming out of the Providence scene, issuing over 100 releases until folding in 2017. Bands such as Lightning Bolt, Noxagt, Sightings, Landed, Arab on Radar, Brainbombs, The White Mice, and Pink and Brown released records through Load. Load Records also re-released records originating from other labels, such as the United States release of Close Calls with Brick Walls by Andrew W.K. and the vinyl editions of The Very Best of Men's Recovery Project by Men's Recovery Project and Things Viral by Khanate.
