Infinity Cat Recordings is an independent record label in Nashville, Tennessee. It was founded by brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall of JEFF the Brotherhood and their father, singer/songwriter Robert Ellis Orrall.[1] The label was recently listed as one of the 50 best independent record labels by Billboard Magazine's Billboard Biz.[2]

History

After seein the success of Asian Man Records and Dischord Records, Jake and Jamin Orrall started Infinity Cat Recordings when they were sixteen and fourteen, respectively.[3] Traditionally, Jake has handled the creative decisions as the "de facto CEO", while their father handles the day-to-day operations.[4][3]

In 2010, Infinity Cat was named Best Local Label by Nashville Scene, "for building a cult following around its flagship band (and label execs), JEFF the Brotherhood,[5] bringing Nashville's riff-punk underground to a national audience and, in the process, incubating some of our best raw local talent."[6] In 2011, Infinity Cat and JEFF the Brotherhood signed a deal with Warner Music Group. Warner Music A&R representative Ryan Whalley told Billboard Magazine that the deal was "a little different than how we usually work with bands" because the band would "maintain a foot in both Warner and Infinity Cat."[7] In an interview with The Tennessean, Jamin stated that the boys originally had reservations about teaming up with Warner, as they felt that they did not need any help, given their success running Infinity Cat. Ultimately, they decided to sign a deal with Warner that would give them "substantial creative control," as well as wider distribution.[8] According to Robert Ellis Orrall, starting with We Are The Champions, JEFF the Brotherhood releases would receive global distribution from WMG's Alternative Distribution Alliance under the Warner/Independent Label Group umbrella.[9][10]

Later that year, Infinity Cat was listed as #10 in Billboard Magazine's "Business Biz: 50 Best Indie Labels in America.[2]>[11] Infinity Cat celebrated its 10th anniversary with two concerts on July 20 and 21, 2012. At the July 20 show, Metro Councilman At-Large Ronnie Steine read Resolution No. RS2012-339, which proclaims July 20 to be Infinity Cat Recordings Day in Nashville as "it is fitting and proper that the Metropolitan Council recognizes Infinity Cat Recording on its 10th anniversary as one of Nashville's best independent labels."[3]
