Between 1977 and 1994, Twin/Tone Records released over 300 records. The first project to be released on the Twin/Tone label was a nine song 7" EP (on red vinyl) by The Suburbs in April of 1978. The last project to be released on the Twin/Tone label was a live Suburbs CD released in November of 1994. During this time we worked with over 100 bands and 11 indie labels. We helped over 25 of the bands go on to major labels. We currently do not sign any bands, nor release any new projects.

Today the label is in "moth balls," finding the traditional physical CD market very unfriendly to indie labels, we wait for the alternative that digital delivery promises (hopefuly sooner than later)... Meanwhile, we have licensed some of our bigger projects (The Replacements, Soul Asylum, Ween, The Jayhawks...) to Restless Records which is owned by Ryko/ Warner Brothers. Many of our titles are available via the iTunes store or as custom burned CDs. We are making catalog items on a weekly basis.
