, rock band Darla Farmer, Emanuel and the Fear and Mighty Tiger.

While Paper Garden started as a simple independent record label, it has grown into a company that is multi-tiered in its approach to working with bands. Now with Paper Garden Publicity and Paper Garden’s Lovely Hearts Club in addition to the original Paper Garden Records, we are able to work with bands no matter the stage they are at and bridge the gap between great music and a band’s success. Paper Garden is a U.S. based company, but has now broadened its reach to many additional markets worldwide.

Employees and affiliates boast a vast array of experience and hail from locations around the world. Staff members have spent extensive time working with Sub Pop Records, Saddle Creek Records, Interscope Records, EMI Records, The MuseBox, and Flatstock, as well as with such events as the Pop Montreal, NXNE, Laneway, SXSW, and CMJ.

Paper Garden Records implements creative and non-traditional methods in order to maximize success and develop its artists on an individual basis.

In addition, Paper Garden Records is proud to be a “green” label, actively working to support the environmental movement.
