HistoryDomino Records is an independant record label based in London that was founded by Lawrence Bell and Jacqui Rice in 1993. Most of their early releases were by American artists that were signed to Drag City. Success for this label did not come quickly as the Britpop era of the 90's pushed indie labels to the sidelines. They celebrated their first number one album in 2005 with Franz Ferdinand's 'You Could Of Had It So Much Better' and in that same month they achieved their first number one single with the Arctic Monkeys 'I Bet You Look On The Dancefloor'.

Theres alot of detail and information regarding the record label which is also interesting.
ReplyDeleteSome excellent detail here, well done. Do you think your recording artist would suit the genric style of Domino Records?
ReplyDeleteWhat we want you do to with this information is to think about how smaller labels (or imprints of big labels) cater to a specific audience, but focusing on one or two specific genres of music. Add to your blog post about Domino Records by including an allusion to how they would be a perfect label for your artist. (I know that Artic Monkeys are signed to them - but highlight the other similar artists under their umbrella). Very Good. TME
