Who is Mint 400 Records?

Well if you got the time and really want to know: http://www.jerseybeat.com/mint400.html , The shorter story is below:

Hi, my name is Neil Sabatino and I started this record label out of my apartment back in 2007. I had been in bands for many years and dealt with all sizes and kinds of record labels. I started the label at first because my own band needed a label to release all of our material under. At the time Fairmont (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairmont_(band)) had about 7 releases that were all released under various labels and none of which existed anymore. So we were able to get ourselves a digital distro deal and were considered a label because we had so many releases under our belts.

I had always wanted to start a label but in the times before everything went digital there was too much money that had to be invested to get physical products out to a store. As well the model for physical record distribution was not made for small bands and labels to succeed. I had learned in previous years that you could sell a thousand CD's or more and have your distributor turn around and say we have no money for you. The model I wanted to set up was for bands to be able to be as prolific as possible but not have to pay close to anything to get their records out. That was how my first signings happened. I was new to producing at the time but was able to help a local band called Theodore Grimm record some of their first EP's for under a few hundred dollars and get them out to the world.

I had been around the block and knew that most bands spend more and more on record after record. I myself had gone from humble recordings that cost me 100-700$ for a full length album to then spending well over 5,000$ a record and knew that if I wished to make records for years to come that this was not sustainable. What I did next was slowly over the course of the next few years was build my own studio specifically for the purpose of recording records for the bands on my record label.

My philosphy on records is that good songwriters make good records and little else matters. I didn't want to make my label revolve around anything but music and I wanted to provide a way for the artists I signed to record as much as possible and basically say screw all of the other bu****it that has become the music industry. This label is about music. Through keeping overhead costs down we are able to make a ton of records with a ton of bands and get them out to radio and out for licensing and that is what we are about. What we do have are amazing bands that write amazing records.

Mint 400 is about songwriters and great musicians making records in their bedrooms or a basement, records with meaning. Records that are made most of the time for free or at very little cost, records that have taken months to make. The only thing we pursue for our labels music are things that get our records heard such as radio, licensing and digital distro. Mint 400 is about the cool creative endeavors. We exist outside the norm of the music industry and we hope that our business model becomes the norm of the future. Where labels concern themselves only with putting out good music that is accessible, cheap and for the fans.

Mint 400 has grown since 2007 from a label that was my band Fairmont and my cousins band Theodore Grimm, to become a label that houses a roster of close to 100 artists and over 300 releases. With each artist we try to become for them whatever they need us to be. Whether they need a record produced, engineered, mixed and mastered, album artwork, digital distro, PR, a website, or tour help. We try to do it all without any cost to the artist. Mint 400 is record label that is built for creative bands concerned with putting out many records for years to come and really honing their craft.
