Freedom From is a Minneapolis, Minnesota based record label which primarily focuses on the international noise underground genre. The label was founded in 1996 with its first official release by a San Francisco three-piece named Job. Up until early 1998, the labels focus was singularly cassettes, with the most well-known being the infamous Thurston Moore/Beck/Tom Surgal cassette. During the course of its primary existence, FF often released either the first or first widely available release by many bands, including Hair Police, Sightings, No Doctors, Milovan Srdenovic, Violent Ramp, Reynols and many more. The label is maintained to this day by founder and CEO Matthew St-Germaine.

Freedom From is best known for its eschewing of conventional record business tactics in favor of an absolute aestheticizing of experience. Freedom From's catalog includes a wildly diverse sampling of the fringes of artistic and sonic exploration.
