Information About

Equal Vision Records




Equal Vision Records is a Record Label based in Albany, New York , specializing (with some exceptions) in the more hardcore or punk-based rock genres.

Equal Vision Records was founded in the early 1990s by Ray Cappo ( Youth Of Today , Shelter , Better Than A Thousand ).

In the beginning the label existed solely to distribute Shelter releases, but after label manager Steve Reddy bought EVR from Cappo in 1992, the focus was expanded and a wider variety of bands were brought on board.

The mid-to-late '90s saw a redoubling of the Equal Vision's hardcore efforts with such signings as Refused , One King Down, Ten Yard Fight , and Floorpunch . By the end of the '90s EVR found itself with an impressive stable of hardcore and punk bands, having added Bane , Trial , Converge and Saves The Day to its roster in the latter part of the decade.

Equal Vision has found recent mainstream success with the bands Coheed And Cambria , Armor For Sleep , Alexisonfire and Saves The Day
