Innerstate Records (also known as Innerstate) is a San Francisco Bay Area based rock and alternative American record label founded by Russ Tolman and Pat Thomas in 1998.
History
Formed in 1998 by singer/songwriters and producers Russ Tolman and Pat Thomas, Innerstate Records continues today distributing its catalog as a digital label via distributor The Orchard. It spawned two offshoot labels innerSPACE, which specialized in space rock, prog and krautrock and WEED, which was a catch-all for eclectic releases. The labels releases both new recordings and reissues, but is not actively soliciting to sign new acts.
