sonaBLAST! Records

www.sonablast.com sonaBLAST! Records is a record label and publishing company located in Louisville, Kentucky.
(9)

was established in 2002 by then New York-based film producer Gill Holland. After signing several artists, including acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Mark Geary, Holland moved himself and its operations to Louisville, where he and his small team, headed by long time ear X-tacy employee Jaxon Swain, have continued to unearth and support quality artists. Records’ catalog is much like its Louisville

home: abundant in great art and authentically true to its roots. Our artist repertoire crosses all genres, from Ben Sollee, a revelatory soul-singing cellist, to GRLwood, self-proclaimed Kentucky Fried q***r punk, to The Pass, young mavens of dance rock, to rapper Jack Harlow and Americana rockers Quiet Hollers and much more. Our acts have been critically acclaimed in the NY Times and on NPR’s All Things Considered (Cheyenne Marie Mize), placed on shows such as Gossip Girl (The Pass), HBO's Girls, Vampire Diaries (Nerves Junior), and hundreds of TV, MTV shows and award-winning independent feature films (from THE BIG SICK to MAIDENTRIP (with that SXSW-winner’s score having already over 15 millions streams)! Our offices were once housed in The Green Building, the ‘greenest’ commercial building in Kentucky, and now we are in the up-and-coming Portland neighborhood of Louisville. We always go the extra mile to practice environmental stewardship by using eco-friendly materials to print our albums (though most everything now is just streaming of course) and are proud to have surpassed 100,000,000 streams so please check us out on Spotify!
