Tooth & Nail Records is a record label[1] founded by Brandon Ebel and Michael Knott in California in November 1993.[a] The label later moved to Seattle where it is today. Tooth & Nail has an imprint Solid State Records. BEC (Brandon Ebel Company) Recordings is Christian rock record label that is an imprint of Tooth & Nail Records. The label was formed in 1997 in partnership with EMI Christian Music Group.

Tooth & Nail's first album released was Wish for Eden's Pet the Fish,[4] which was produced by Michael Knott and originally slated to be released by Blonde Vinyl. Releases from The Juliana Theory, MxPx, and Starflyer 59 made Tooth & Nail known in music circles, as well as a niche underground subculture in itself. Prior to forming Tooth & Nail, Ebel worked for Frontline Records.[5]

Overview

[edit]

Eight Tooth & Nail-affiliated albums have been RIAA-certified as gold for sales of 500,000 or more copies. The label had one of its greatest successes when Underoath's Define the Great Line debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2006.[6]

NPR described the label as having "altered the course of the Christian rock industry by launching and legitimizing the careers of MxPx, The O.C. Supertones and Underoath."[7]

Structure

[edit]

Tooth & Nail contains multiple imprints, each catering to a different genre of music:

On March 13, 2013, it was announced that Brandon Ebel had sold the entire Tooth & Nail music catalog to Capitol Christian Music Group (formerly EMI Christian Music Group) and by doing so was able to buy back the 50% stake in Tooth & Nail formerly owned by EMI making it an independent record label. It will retain the rights to all future releases with a new distributor, RED Distribution.[12]
