Razor & Tie Direct

While the label has traditionally been rock and hard-rock focused, by far its most successful project has been the “Kidz Bop” compilation series, which launched in 2001 and features children singing contemporary hits. The series has sold more than 20 million albums. The label’s current roster includes The Pretty Reckless (pictured), All That Remains, The Sword and Sons of Texas.
