Since 2019, Glasgow

The label

Three people, one room above a bike shop and a cupboard full of records. That is the whole company.

The Runout office: a sofa, two screens and a pink wall

How it started

Runout began in 2019 because a friend's band had a finished record and nobody to put it out. We borrowed money for 300 copies, folded the sleeves ourselves and sold them at the shows.

We still work the same way. Every release is pressed in a small run, every sleeve is made with the artist, and every record is one we would buy ourselves.

Our promises

01

Masters stay yours

Artists own their recordings. We license them for a set time, then they come home.

02

Fifty fifty

After costs, every penny is split down the middle, and we show the numbers every quarter.

03

Small runs

We press what will sell, then press again. No warehouse of unsold vinyl.

04

We answer

Every demo gets a reply, even when it is a no. It just might take a few weeks.
