OORT RECORDS

About Me

OORT RECORDS is an independent record label from Santa Barbara, CA. We release quality modern rock music featuring punk, pop and rock artists. The sound of OORT RECORDS is guided by the people who bring you LOBSTER RECORDS. Our label is a starter home for new bands, one that provides a secure entry point into the music business while allowing artists to concentrate on developing their craft. Our artists are regionally successful bands ready to take the next step onto the national stage. OORT RECORDS offers contracts on a project by project basis, moderate budget, one album deals that provide artists with the opportunity to create without being confined. We work closely with artists to develop their ability to reach an audience and promote themselves to the next level. OORT RECORDS believes that there are a significant number of people who desire music that has energy, rhythm and drive; music that at the same time carries melody and poetry. We strive for the high ground. We release music that is meant to motivate people and express their feelings. OORT RECORDS currently signs artists from the US and EU. We will provide a new release every two months. OORT RECORDS is a proponent of straight-line pricing. An album costs the same no matter what the source; online, in-store or at a show. OORT RECORDS is distributed worldwide by the LUMBERJACK MORDAM MUSIC GROUP.
