Fearless Records are NOT safe to play on stream at the moment
A lot of Equal Vision bands also have releases on Fearless, so please check before you play their music! https://twitter.com/UndadTV/status/1319555741544480768

Epitaph Records similarly have not made a statement either way and are listed as an RIAA member, so their bands may not be able to be played on stream.
HOWEVER
Falling In Reverse, in particular, have given explicit permission: https://clips.twitch.tv/SmellySillyPonyCclamChamp

Fat Wreck Chords have not posted about DMCA, but given their anti-RIAA stance, it's probably safe to say any of their releases are okay for streaming
Should probably have noted some bands here:
Lagwagon, NOFX, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, No Use for a Name, Strung Out, Teenage Bottlerocket, Swingin' Utters, Suicide Machines, and some releases by Less Than Jake, MxPx, Masked Intruder, The Ataris, Anti-Flag, and more

Pure Noise Records
They even made a playlist!
This includes bands like Knocked Loose, Less Than Jake, Masked Intruder, The Story So Far, All Shall perish, Man Overboard, Vanna, State Champs, Meg & Dia, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Hawthorne Heights, and more

Another important thing to note: if a record label isn't part of the RIAA, they are likely not launching ANY DMCA requests and their music is probably safe to play.
I'll include some of my favorite truly independent labels down here, but play at your own risk:

Horris Records
It's basically just MC Lars at this point, but his catalogue is MASSIVE and slaps. If you're looking for hip-hop, maybe try some nerdcore: https://twitter.com/mclars/status/1109450986534375424

Ferret Music is unfortunately NOT safe to play
Despite being an independent label for most of their existence, they were sold to Warner Bros in 2007.
This includes bands like Lower Definition, LoveHateHero, Madball, In Flames, and (some) Every Time I Die

Nuclear Blast are on Twitch Soundtrack and should be safe!
They distribute hundreds of bands, including Eyes Set to Kill, Fleshgod Apocalypse, In Flames, Madball, Municipal Waste, Meshuggah, Slipknot, Slayer, Suicide Silence, Within Temptation, and more

Rude Records are okay to use!
https://twitter.com/ruderecords/status/1273551727216726017
This includes a lot of previously mentioned bands, whose releases you might see listed as Rude rather than their parent labels.

Not a label, but Jared Dines made a whole playlist of bands whose music you can use on stream: https://twitter.com/JaredDines/status/1270510059286523904
Last one for now:
EMFA Records (aka DJ S3RL's label) isn't sending any DMCAs at all. He's confirmed this privately to a few people in the community but I wanted to let y'all know in case you were unaware

If y'all know of any labels that are fully indie (e.g. not part of the RIAA) or have publicly stated they will not DMCA streamers, please send me the link and i'll add them to this thread!
