Label GB

Sub Pop

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

The Shins are a US indie band hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Originally known as [a604918], they later changed their name to [a937344] before settling on The Shins in 1997.
Formed in the mid-90s, The Shins quickly gained popularity with their unique blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities. Their distinctive sound, characterized by catchy melodies and introspective lyrics, has earned them a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
With several critically acclaimed albums under their belt, including "Oh, Inverted World" and "Chutes Too Narrow," The Shins continue to captivate audiences with their infectious hooks and heartfelt songwriting. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, The Shins are sure to leave an indelible mark on your musical journey.

The superb follow-up to their universally-adored 2001 debut, Oh, Inverted World. more acoustic than their debut - but it still pops and shakes like the kinks and soars like the Beach Boys. It will make you smile and will make your heart swell. this was one of 2004's albums of the year.
