Unable Records is an independent record label headquartered in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The label was founded in 2007 by partners Mike Ransom, Amanda Price Ransom, Kevin Hanning, and Devon Bradford in Jacksonville, F;orida. In the fall of 2008, Unable Records relocated to Southern New Jersey but continued to operate a small office in Jacksonville for several more years.[1]

In 2012, Unable Records merged with the New Jersey–based recording studio, 0x1 Sound Studio. The merger created a parent company known as Unable Music Group, of which Unable Records and 0x1 Sound Studio are separate divisions, along with Unable Distribution.[2][3] During the merger, founding partners Kevin Hanning and Devon Bradford left the company, being replaced by 0x1 Sound Studio owner/engineer Jason Ruch. The merger also allowed for Unable Records to move into its current location, occupying office space in a commercial park in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, not far from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1][4]

Unable Records specializes in the punk rock, ska, hardcore, and metal genres, but has also put out EDM/Dance, hip hop, jazz, indie rock, alternative, pop and horror releases. Unable Records has worked many with bands, including Point Blank, PlanetRAWK, The Bastard Suns,[5][6][7][8] No Fuego,[9][10][11][12] Murder Majesty,[13] Ransom Price,[14][15] Mexican Ape-Lord,[16] Mongrel,[17] In The Go, Violence in Ascension [18] and King Rat. Unable Records has also worked with artists such as Raquel Castro,[19] Liz Primo, Mariah Simmons, Dark Intensity, Amai Liu,[20] DJ Lynnwood, among others.
