The Rye Philosophy

In short, Rye's philosophy is to help its artists in every aspect in bettering their career. Be it recording, manufacturing, booking, distribution or promotions. Rye will assist its' artists with the utmost attention and support in helping spread the art of music into the world.

While doing this Rye Records will develop relationships not only with musicians but also with independent businesses related to music and the cause creating a strong, interdependent community built with honesty and a rightful attitude in the process. Taking nothing away from the artist: what belongs to the artist stays with the artist. Rye does not want what rightfully belongs to the artist. No copyright negotiations here. In fact, the founders of Rye Records, LLC, are all musicians. They understand the importance in keeping their creations.

Independents helping each other - helping us help you.

When written, even said, it sounds too simplistic, generic maybe even clichéd - bringing to mind an advertising slogan for some large retail rack job. But, essentially, this is the concept behind Rye Records. When a band takes the initiative to help themselves, Rye is there to back them up equally. We want success for the artist who wants success.

Rye is an acronym for: Render Your Escape. Perhaps defining it will clarify:

Render - to give in return; to deliver up; to supply, to present; to
interpret music

Your - belonging to you (the artist)

Escape - to gain freedom


In working together closely and nurturing these relationships with the artists and businesses, Rye will give in return with delivering its artists' music, freeing the world from the boring, corporate, cookie-cutter drag.
