Jeepster
Independently owned Jeepster was created in 1995. First signing, Belle & Sebastian, brought the label to the indie world’s attention almost immediately and the band’s early success provided Jeepster with the opportunity to expand its roster, with Snow Patrol’s signing in winter 1997 closely followed by Salako, Looper and The Gentle Waves.
Critically acclaimed album releases followed across the roster yet despite this success it became necessary to put signing activity on hold for a period to allow Jeepster to safeguard its future and retain its valuable catalogue. In recent years several retrospective projects with Belle & Sebastian and enhanced reissues of Jeepster’s Snow Patrol albums have maintained interest in the catalogue allowing the label to contemplate new signings once again.

Riot Pop Records
Riot Pop Records was the natural progression from Riot Radio Pop Promotions and the radio show of the same name. Working with the bands in the Pop-Punk / Pop / Indie scenes we develop and nurture new talent as well as enhance existing artist reputation.
Licensing records from the US and exposing the bands to the UK helps them as well as enhancing our current roster.
