Main article: Love Minus Zero Recordings

Love Minus Zero Recordings was the second subsidiary record label created by the Reines siblings, who along with Drive-Thru also own Rushmore Records. This label was intended to comprise artists of a stronger singer-songwriter genre. Only two acts were ever signed to Love Minus Zero: Roark and Biirdie. This imprint was soon reabsorbed back into Drive-Thru Records.
