About RB

Random Bastards is a creative collective founded in 2002 in UÅ, Mästerbotten, Dirty North, Sápmi, Sweden. The name was partly inspired by the local hardcore punk scene, and by the group’s wide range of interests. Since day one, the crew has been making moves around the north—slowly but steadily.

It all started with a bunch of friends making skateboard and snowboard films, and music. Now, 23 years later in 2025, that same DIY vibe still drives us. Today, RB produces, arranges, and distributes digital and physical records, events, films, merch, clothing, skateboards, and more.

Our music label has released over 200 projects and picked up several of Sweden’s top awards such as Grammis and P3 Guld, including multi-platinum certifications for artists like Fricky, Academics, and Cleo. Meanwhile, Trainspotters has toured Europe, the US, and Asia. Fridlyst, known for their high-energy live shows, are always cooking—and RB continues to grow with a hungry circle of producers, instrumentalists, DJs, and vocalists.

One of our favorite recurring events is the Mästerbotten Block Party (2017, 2018, 2019, 2023, 2024 & 2025), hosted in collaboration with our friends Hoopdiggas.

Each spring, we also celebrate #STORSPOVSMÅNAD, welcoming our favorite bird back home to the north.
