Buddyhead was a music webzine and (from 2000 to 2010) independent record label formed by Travis Keller in the summer of 1998 in Hollywood, California. Buddyhead engaged in criticism of popular culture and the music industry. Their gossip column resulted in Buddyhead being sued over a dozen times by numerous celebrities and record labels, including Korn, Courtney Love, Fred Durst, Moby, Drive-Thru Records, and, most recently, Axl Rose.

As of late 2016, the site was taken offline with a message that reads, "R.I.P. BUDDYHEAD, 1998-2016, Was for the children, Make stuff."


Buddyhead Records was an independent record label from Hollywood, California that sprouted from the website of the same name. The label was started in 2000 with the pressing of a seven-inch single from The Icarus Line ("Kill Cupid With A Nail Fie") and ended almost exactly ten years later with a full length from Dios ("We Are Dios") in August 2010. The label released records by a number of bands, such as: The Cassettes, Shat, Dios (also known as (dios) Malos, Ink & Dagger, The Icarus Line, Burning Brides, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Jubilee, Your Enemies Friends, The Mean Reds, 400 Blows, TEXT (ex-Refused), At the Drive-In, Murder City Devils, Modwheelmood, Wires On Fire, Radio Vago, The Jada Kings and Gayrilla Biscuits.
