Family

Family Records, founded in 1970 by the English rock band Family, was an independent label that aimed to promote the band's music and that of similar artists. Initially focused on rock and progressive genres, it became a platform for innovative sounds during the early 1970s. The label's notable artists included Family themselves, as well as acts like the avant-garde band, The Groundhogs, and the folk-rock group, The Strawbs. Throughout its existence, Family Records was characterized by its eclectic roster, which encompassed elements of blues, folk, and psychedelia. The label's influence waned in the late 1970s as the music industry shifted towards larger commercial entities. Despite its relatively short lifespan, Family Records is remembered for its contribution to the British rock scene and its role in nurturing artists who pushed musical boundaries. Its legacy endures in the continued appreciation for the unique sounds it championed during its active years.
