About Me

Electric Honey is a record label run by students studying Music Industry Management at Stow College in Glasgow, Scotland. Every year an act is chosen to sign and release a record as part of their course. The labels first real success came in 1996 with the release of Belle & Sebastian's Tigermilk (To date the only full length album released on the label) It was released in limited numbers (as with all the labels releases) and is therefore seen as a collectors item, fetching up to Â£900 on internet auction sites. Other artists that have had success after initially being with Electric Honey are Snow Patrol (then known as Polar Bear) & Biffy Clyro.

Stow College students also run the labels Gdansk Recordings, which focuses on releasing electronic music, and Root8 Recordings, which releases world music.
