Elvrum Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Pretty self explanatory to be honest.Although, room for healthy debate. Three of my favourites:Temporary ResidenceA pretty much perfect record label;Explosions In The SkyBy The End Of TonightThe LadiesEnvyEluviumDischordSince 1980 Ian MacKaye and friends have been putting out some incredible music.

SuperMike! Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 There is some class stuff on Polyvinyl - add Matt Pond PA and Saturday Looks Good To Me to that list.My favourites are probably Domino, Mute and Morr Music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 hmm, good topic.i've always had a soft spot for chemikal underground, gotta support the home team as yousef said in the champions league thread(i know they're not an aberdeen label, but home as in scottish).Hydrahead are probably the best though, good limited edition packages, great roster and seem to give a damn about the fans. honourable mentions must go to southern lord, rise above, domino, secretely canadian and southern records.edit: oh and i concur with dischord as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullmouse Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Track and Field, Yep Roc, Alien8, Monotreme, Bella Union and Voodoo Rhythm all make me smile, to mention those that I've not seen named yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Sub Pop - How predictable...Also.. you cannot mention Dischord without mentioning the band Faraquet.... the album is the best album ever released on Dischord.... well so said Mr Mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaver Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Undergroove; Johnny Truant, Eden Maine, Twin Zero, Murder Of Rosa Luxembourg, 27 - marvellous bands and the lable is cool as fuck.Mighty Atom; good for welshies. They've got Hondo Maclean, who are the best band on Earth.Relapse; just the general mentalness of it. Lots of great bands hidden amongst the crazy bastards too; Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan, Burst, Neurosis and of course Death/Grind genius from Pig Destroyer, Nasum, Agoraphobic Nosebleed etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 in the 90's my favourite labels were MoWax, NinjaTune and Moving Shadow, but to be honest these days the way I get my music has nothing to do with labels so I've never really had any sense of the artists I listen to "belonging" to any particular label. Perhaps this is a good thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzHines Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Is a very good thing, most of the bands that i listen to/play with have no contract with their label which is just great.All these labels deserve more credit.Johnson Family etc...

Elvrum Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Arent the Broken Social Scene on Cityslang these days?Well, City Slang are their UK label (along with Jason Collett, Stars, The Album Leaf and The Notwist), but Arts & Crafts are still their mother label.
