History

Deep Elm Records originally started out in New York City, and according to founder John Szuch, was formed to help build and support the local music scene. Deep Elm's first release was the single "Anthemic Tune" by Curdlefur in 1995. Their first album was release was by Camber in March 1997.[1]

In 2006 Deep Elm Records signed their first UK act Free Diamonds. As of 2008, Deep Elm stopped pressing physical CDs and vinyl, effectively becoming a digital only label.[1] The label has a promotion where they give away 99 songs free to every person.[2] Deep Elm is also highly active in the licensing of music to TV / Film / Commercials.[3]

The label has adamantly refused to be bought out by a larger company, and are currently located in Maui, Hawaii.[1]

Compilation albums

The label is known for releasing a number of compilation albums, including the This Is Indie Rock series.[1]

Between 1997 and 2007 the label released a series of twelve compilation albums titled The Emo Diaries. The series had an open submissions policy and featured mostly acts that were unsigned at the time of the albums' releases.[4] The Emo Diaries featured then-new and unreleased music by such notable acts as The Appleseed Cast, Brandtson, Further Seems Forever, Jimmy Eat World, Planes Mistaken for Stars, and Samiam.[5]

Deep Elm founder John Szuch claims that the original name for the series was intended to be The Indie Rock Diaries, but this was ruled out by the fact that the first volume included Jimmy Eat World and Samiam, who were both signed to major record labels.[4] The Emo Diaries was chosen because The Emotional Diaries was too long to fit on the album cover.[4] Despite the title, the bands featured in the series have a diversity of sounds that do not all necessarily fit into the emo style of rock music.[6] Andy Greenwald, in his book Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo, claims that the series "stake[s] a claim for emo as more a shared aesthetic than a genre":[4][5]
