Beginning with the release of a seven inch in 1996 and now with nearly 100 releases in its catalog, fiercely independent DEEP ELM RECORDS continues to build a better label - one that operates on principles other than the pursuit of earnings. We see our label being about people coming together, meeting, singing and sharing that experience with each other...those are the times that we remember forever. It's about the power of music and the inspiration it provides. Founded on respect for music and the creative process, a desire to discover and develop new artists and undying integrity in everything we do, Deep Elm strives to further its reputation as one of the most reliable sources of quality independent recordings.
"Deep Elm is the world's most reputable indie rock label." - Chord
"It's good to know that in an era of superstars, major label sponsorships and million dollar videos, there's a record label that cares about fairness, music and the people that write it. A label that realize it's fans are the sole reason for its success...and knows it should never get so large that it can't stop to answer a question or help anyone that supports them. This is Deep Elm. And this is the way they have been doing things since day one." - Janeane Garofalo, Actress
