Founded in 1993, by Laurence Bell and his partner Jacqui Rice, the label's first release was a Sebadoh single, licensed from Sub Pop records for release in the UK.

Success was not immediate, as labels such as Domino, who were releasing more established American rock and unusual British music, were marginalised during the Britpop era, but a steady stream of new signings gave the label increasing credibility.
