Stolen Transmission Part Ways With Island Records

December 2, 2007 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Stolen Transmission have parted ways with backing label Island Records. A message from the labels co-runner Sarah Lewitinn can be read below.

Stolen Transmission started IN MY BEDROOM as an indie label putting out hand made cds of bands that me and Rob Stevenson believed in. We werent funded back then, and we were really happy. We did everything because of how much we loved music. Now that I’ve had my experience with Island/Def Jam, I know how to actually do what’s necessary to release an album and develop artists, and I helped set up 9 amazing releases from Permanent ME, the Oohlas, Monty Are I, Bright Light Fever, the Horrors, Schoolyard Heroes, PlayRadioPlay!, Innerpartysystem, and the Photo Atlas. I’m so fucking proud that the label went from me and a bunch of interns sitting in my bedroom smoking and watching degrassi and eating guac i had just made to me sitting in meetings once a week with JayZ and now it’ll just go back to being run from my apartment again. We plan on continuing with Stolen Transmission and are really excited to be returning to our indie roots. Read the rest of her message here.

Stolen Transmission Signs Two

September 20, 2006 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Stolen Transmission has signed two new bands, The Oohlas and Bright Light Fever. You can read the press release below.

The Oohlas, a Los Angeles based trio that is destined for commercial success with the release of Best Stop Pop. The Oohlas dirty yet accessible production of mid-nineties alternative rock has a classic feel without sounding retro. Their beautiful melodies, interesting arrangements and sophisticated compositions that will no doubt invoke flattering comparisons to bands such as Belly, Veruca Salt, Weezer and perhaps the Breeders. As a side note, The Oohlas includes former Everclear drummer, Greg Eklund.

Bright Light Fever made up of four guysԚ  (headed by Evan Ferro, the driving force behind the group) writes songs that are immediately engaging yet entirely pensive and are reminiscent of Bleach-era Nirvana and early White Stripes. They bring danceable rhythms, story-based lyrics, warm and passionate vocal, and a rawness in songwriting that is arresting for any listening. The fun doesnâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t stop there either, Joby from The Bronx has produced The Evening Owl, and it doesnâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t get much better than that!
