Boomtown Records was an independent record label founded by Jaddan Comerford in October 2002 and based in Melbourne, Australia. In 2011 the label was rebranded with Staple Management to new company, UNFD.

The label was established by Jaddan Comerford when he was 18, after being inspired by thriving independent labels like Epitaph Records.

It is incredible how far everything has come. This is literally something I started in my bedroom when I was eighteen. I had just started a degree at university and I absolutely loved music, so I wanted to do something that involved both of those things.

After operating the label out of his basement, Comerford moved into an office building in 2005. In March 2006 Comerford established the Staple Group with two arms; that being Artist Management (Behind Crimson Eyes, The Getaway Plan, Horsell Common and Antiskeptic) and Marketing, which focuses on direct, street level and viral internet marketing (with clients including Warner Music Australia and Hurley Clothing).

Boomtown had its first ever 'Boomtown Showdown Tour' in May 2005, showcasing the label’s talent (Behind Crimson Eyes, Wishful Thinking, Angelas Dish and Sounds Like Chicken), which sold out to 800 people in Melbourne. In 2006 the 'Boomtown Showdown Tour' went national with eight shows on the east coast of Australia. The performance in Melbourne, featuring Horsell Common, The Getaway Plan, Angelas Dish, Wishful Thinking and In Fiction, was recorded and released on DVD. The 'Boomtown Showdown Tour' continued in 2007, featuring The Getaway Plan, In Fiction, The Amity Affliction and Elora Danan with thirteen dates across the east and west coasts of Australia, and included the first ever Boomtown Showdown shows in Western Australia.
