Cult Records

Cult Records is an independent record label founded by Julian Casablancas (of The Strokes) in 2009. Initially used as an imprint for Casablancas' solo releases, Cult later became a standalone label, and in June 2014 entered a label services agreement with Kobalt as well as a digital distribution agreement with ONErpm. The label's first release (with RCA) was Casablancas' debut solo album Phrazes for the Young. Cult Records have since put out records for a number of major artists, mostly from the New York area including Casablancas' own bands The Strokes and The Voidz, as well acts like The Growlers, Karen O, Albert Hammond Jr and The Virgins.
