ARTISTdirect Records

In February 2001, Interscope Records co-founder Ted Field launched ARTISTdirect Records in conjunction with artistdirect.com co-founder Marc Geiger. Financially backed and distributed by Bertelsmann Music Group, the label sought to wed a traditional record label with Artistdirect's existing online delivery platform. The label failed and folded in 2003, leaving behind several releases from artists such as The Blood Brothers, No Good, and Mad at Gravity.
