Trepan Records is an English independent record label and promotion company founded in London in 2007. It hosted The Great Brain Robbery, a B-movie themed evening of live music, burlesque, and DJs featuring guest spots and guerrilla gigs from musicians such as Johnny Borrell of Razorlight,[1] Florence and the Machine, Lily Allen, Mystery Jets, Ed Harcourt and Pete Doherty.[2]

Trepan Records described itself as "the label of the cranially connected - dedicated to drilling a hole in the side of the British music industry to expose our collective cortex". Its merchandise and advertising often uses the term: You Need This... Like A Hole in the Head.[3] Trepan Records released three Cranial Connections compilation albums with a fourth was due in Easter 2008 but it never eventuated. Trepan's first 7" single was released in 2009. It has since fallen into inactivity.
