The Control Group

About Me

The Control Group is a record label that began in 2002 for the sole purpose of releasing the Alien Crime Syndicate album "XL From Coast To Coast." That album came out and was quickly picked up by a larger label leaving TCG without a band. Bored and bandless, TCG flourished into the label that it is today, releasing cd’s & vinyl by El Perro Del Mar, Schoolyard Heroes, The Fitness, The Killers, and many others.
