The First Time Records was founded
in 1997, and grew out of a sheer
passion for music that moves us.
The name of the label comes from the
idea or feeling you get when you hear
something awe-inspiring for the first
time, ie: "Dude, The First Time I
heard that [insert name of record
here] I was like whoa" (but less
Jeff Spicoli-like). Moreover,
notice the lyric in The Smiths'
"Please, Please, Please Let Me
Get What I Want, Lord Knows It Would
Be The..." and you see where
we're coming from. Brought up on
a steady diet of American and British
indie, punk, and hardcore, and
inspired by other labels like Dischord
and Touch & Go, as well as Rough
Trade and Creation, The First Time
Records was born.
Armed with a DIY ethic, big dreams
made from little rooms, and a passion
to expose people to truly the best
bands making the most beautiful music;
as long as music moves us, we will be
here. We're not particular to
any styles of music, but you'll see
our releases to-date have mostly been
in the punk, hardcore, indie, brit,
trip-hop realm. As you can tell,
these genres are pretty diverse as far
as rock goes, and we are open to
almost anything as long as it's good.
