Waterfront Records began as a label and shopfront in 1984. The label championed local acts the Hard-Ons, Ratcat and Tumbleweed as well as licensing international acts Nirvana, Pavement and the Beastie Boys, while the store was sadly one of a few music retail outlets of its kind in Sydney. After closing the store down in March 2000, Katana helped Waterfront’s reincarnation in February of 2003, in the form of online retail store.

Having helped grow it into Australia’s premier independent online music store in Australia in early 2010 Katana reinvigorated the brand with another new site complete with social media integration.
