Today is a full-circle moment for the label. As some of you may know, our first release was a 7″ from 764-Hero, and today, we’re honored to announce that we’re the new home for their entire discography. Nothing beats working with people that you love! We’ll have plenty of news to share in the coming months, but in the meantime, the catalog is available for the first time on Bandcamp.
Special Thanks to:
Chris Takino and Pete Ritchey at Up Records, Megan and Tony at Sub Pop, Ari at Tiger Style Records, Pat Graham, Amanda Graham, and Bradley Hale.
764-Hero was an indie rock band from Seattle, Washington. They were active from 1995 to 2002 and briefly reunited in 2012 and 2016. The group released three albums on Up Records, a fourth on Tiger Style Records, and several other releases, including a collaborative single with their frequent touring partners Modest Mouse.
The band initially comprised singer and guitarist John Atkins and drummer Polly Johnson. The lineup was expanded with the addition of bassist James Bertram (Lync, Beck, Red Stars Theory) in 1998, followed by his replacement Robin Peringer (Modest Mouse, Elliott Smith) in 2000. The band’s music was frequently likened to that of other groups from the Pacific Northwest and described as the “perfect soundtrack” for the region by Pitchfork.
