Q Rock Records was set up in January 2009 by Paul Cusick. During 2008 Paul had been writting his debut solo
album and during the year had received offers from a couple of Record Labels to distribute
his forthcoming album. In the back of his mind Paul was not happy with the timescales
written into the contracts and was concerned about signing to companies who had not
proved their worth.
In an attempt to understand the differences between the contracts Paul came to the conclusion that in
this digital age it would be possible to self release Focal Point. Anyone can upload an MP3 file to the web
but which distribution channels work, how do you track MP3s, what licences do you need, how do you apply codes
to songs, what about copyrights? There were loads of questions that needed answers and one of the answers was
to set up a record label.
So Q Rock Records was founded.
It is the intention of Q Rock Records to provide independent artists / bands with a transparent non exclusive
portal where they can sell and distribute their music online.
Q Rock Records also works with other labels to cross promote artists and music to the world.
By working together we all hope you enjoy the selection of artists and music
on this website and will support those that work hard to make and distribute Quality Rock Music.
