TRIBAL BELIEF Takeovers, mergers, blah blah blah. Let’s not forget that Sony/ATV hasn’t stopped doing it what it does best. Here’s a pic of consultant Kenny McGoff (and new boss Guy Moot) with new signings, the hotly-tipped The Other Tribe. The deal completes a trio of recent signings for McGoff, following No.1 act Rudimental and Virgin Records artist A.Dot.


FABLED LABELS


415 RECORDS Founded 1978


Key artists Romeo Void, The Offs, The Mutants


415 Records was born in San Francisco in 1978 as a joint venture between Howie Klein, Chris Knab, and Butch Bridges. It was the one of the first North American record labels to focus on punk


and new wave music. Early artists included The Offs, The Nuns, The Units, Romeo Void (pictured), and Wire Train. Their first release was a 1978 single by


the The Offs, entitled Everyone’s A Bigot. Subsequent early releases included seven- inch EPs by SVT, The Nuns and Pearl Harbor and the Explosions. Later records included a seven-inch by


The Mutants, an album by The Units, a 12- inch 33⅓ RPM album by Romeo Void and a mini-album by New Math.


In 1981, 415 signed a co-branding contract with Columbia Records that


gave Columbia first rights of refusal to produce, manufacture, and promote their artists’ recordings. The contract ended in 1989 and three months later, Sandy Pearlman


bought 415 Records. Pearlman changed the record label’s name to Popular Metaphysics and formed a co-branding alliance with MCA, ending the 415 label.


Did you know? Grammy award-winning producer David Kahne worked as 415’s A&R director until 1982, when he went to work in Los Angeles as vice president of A&R for Columbia Records.
