Sealand

Sealand Records was founded in 1995 by music producer and entrepreneur James Whitmore in Seattle, Washington. Initially focused on indie rock and alternative music, the label gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, during the rise of the grunge and post-grunge movements. Notable artists associated with Sealand include the influential bands Echoes of Silence and The Last Horizon, both of which helped define the label's sound and aesthetic. Throughout its history, Sealand expanded its catalog to include genres such as folk, electronic, and experimental music, reflecting the evolving landscape of the music industry. The label became known for its artist-friendly contracts and commitment to creative freedom, which attracted a diverse roster of talent. Sealand's legacy is marked by its role in supporting independent music and fostering a community of artists who prioritize innovation over commercial success. The label continues to operate, championing emerging artists and maintaining its ethos of artistic integrity.
