Integrity Records is an independent record label based in Bedford, England. The label was founded in the early 1990s and specialised in discovering new bands in the rock/indie/punk genres.

The first release on the label was 1996 single 'Ghost Island' by The Traceys, but the label is most notable for signing bands such as Miss Black America and Million Dead, whose vocalist Frank Turner went on to forge a successful solo career.

John Peel was a great supporter of the label and played the vast majority of their releases on his BBC Radio 1 show. In 2002, 5 Integrity releases (including B-sides) appeared in Peel's annual Festive Fifty.

Over the years, Integrity has also been the UK home for American artists such as Katastrophy Wife and Meow Meow.

In December 2005 Integrity released a single by London-based noiseniks October All Over, after which the label entered a hiatus.

In March 2011, the label announced via social media feeds that it was active again and welcomed two new signings. A redesigned official website then confirmed those signings as Travis + Julie from Nashville, Tennessee and Birmingham dream-indie duo Pet Dog Storm.Travis + Julie's single Osmosis preceded their album Moon Girl whilst Pet Dog Storm released debut single Time to Fly from their album Beautiful is Down.

In June 2012 the label announced the signing of Scottish art-rockers Miniature Dinosaurs, followed by a single "Lemonade" in July and the "Turn It On EP" in November. Their roster grew further with the addition of Birmingham alt pop band TheLights with the single "Days Don't Get Me Far Enough Away".

November 2012 saw a deal announced with Futur Primitif, the new project of Daniel Lefkowitz, former member of American indie-folk band The Low Anthem, followed by the release of two singles, Nuclear Shockwave and Digital Space, and the album Machineteeth.
