Minty Fresh
Minty Fresh was founded in Chicago by a pair of renegade BMG employees in 1993. Geffen purchased the label in '95 and operated it for awhile but the aforementioned ex-BMGers, Jim Powers and Anthony Musiala, bought it back in 1997 and continue to run the show today. Minty Fresh's awesome roster features The Cardigans, The Orange Peels, Papas Fritas, Veruca Salt, Doktor Kosmos, The Aluminum Group, and more.
Fugu
French Anglo-pop of the highest caliber, with an obvious fondness for the soaring, production-driven pop products of the 1960s. Fugu's music falls in line with the svelte, shimmering nostalgia of current bands like the High Llamas, Cardinal, and the Minders.
