Tooth & Nail Records, an independent label headquartered in Seattle, Washington, was founded in 1993 as a means to give independent artists a forum to creatively express positivity through music. Over the course of the label's 15-year history, Tooth & Nail has been home to bands such as Blindside, The Juliana Theory, the OC Supertones, and many others. Today, a new regime of bands are infiltrating the mainstream, including Mae, Dead Poetic, Further Seems Forever, Anberlin, mewithoutYou, Emery, Thousand Foot Krutch and many others.
BEC Recordings, partner label with Tooth and Nail Records, was founded in 1997 and located in Seattle, WA. BEC Recordings is home of key industry artists like three-time RIAA Gold certified Jeremy Camp and the acclaimed rock band Kutless, hip-hop dominator KJ-52, punk-rock favorites Hawk Nelson, and recently signed Bebo Norman.
Solid State Records was formed as the popularity in the rock genre of Tooth & Nail Records sky rocketed. Bands like Strongarm, Overcome, Zao, Living Sacrifice and Training for Utopia were quick to join the roster, making the label an instant source of credibility.
