'''BYO Records''' is a [[Los Angeles]], [[California]] based independent [[punk rock]] [[record label]] created by Shawn and Mark Stern, two of the three brothers of the seminal California punk rock band [[Youth Brigade (band)|Youth Brigade]] (the third being Adam Stern who plays bass but does not run BYO). BYO stands for Better Youth Organization and aims to promote punk and other alternative youth cultures in a positive light.
