Bloodshot Records

Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.

Bloodshot Records is an independent record label based in Chicago, Illinois that specializes in roots-infused indie rock, punk rock, and alternative country.

Bloodshot Records was founded in 1993 by Nan Warshaw,[1] Rob Miller and (former partner) Eric Babcock.[2][3] The first release was a compilation called For A Life of Sin: A Compilation of Insurgent Chicago Country (1994) that Nan, Rob and Eric self-funded in an effort to document the local insurgent-country scene that had grown up around a network of artist-friendly clubs and independent record labels in Chicago at that time.[4][5]

"We were living hand-to-mouth for the first two or three years," says Miller. "We didn't put out a new record until that last one had paid for itself. We had to stick by our guns and establish with media, radio, and booking agents that this punk-and-country thing could exist and develop a critical language around it."[6][7] The name of the music genre was a point of contention, with some grouping the unique, hard-to-classify singer-songwriter music under the alternative country and some grouping it under the Americana label.[8]

Some of the early artists who started out on Bloodshot went on to sign with larger major record labels, specifically Old 97's and Ryan Adams. Neko Case had a licensing deal with Bloodshot Records in the United States and Mint Records in Canada before she signed with ANTI-.[9]

Bloodshot puts on a free bar-b-que and music day-long showcase at both Austin, Texas' SXSW and New York City's CMJ music festivals yearly.[10][11]
