Drive-Thru Records is an independent record label specializing largely in pop punk music. However, since its inception, its executives made an effort to sign bands outside of the mainstream punk rock genres and sealed recording contracts with ska punk, indie rock, power pop and post-hardcore acts. Established in 1996, Drive-Thru Records is owned by siblings Richard Reines and Stefanie Reines. Bands that have achieved notable success during or after their time on the label include Fenix*TX, Midtown, New Found Glory, The Starting Line, Something Corporate, The Early November, Senses Fail and hellogoodbye. In 2004, Drive-Thru Records extended its scope with the unveiling of a subsidiary label called Rushmore Records. The project was largely unsuccessful with having since released a mere four CDs, whereas two thirds of the roster were either dropped from the label (due to inactivity) or left on their own will. Rushmore Records was reduced to an imprint label of Drive-Thru Records in 2006. A second imprint called Love Minus Zero Records, specializing in singer-songwriter music, was supposed to be inaugurated around the ten year anniversary of Drive-Thru Records. As of October 2006, official details have yet to surface. However, its sole rumored signee (Pompton Plains, New Jersey's Roark) appeared on a Drive-Thru Records sampler in September 2006. Drive-Thru Records' highest Billboard 200 charting releases include The Early November's The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path (
Current roster Drive-Thru Records: Rushmore Records: The bands New Found Glory and Something Corporate are on Geffen/Drive-Thru Records. This is due to a distribution contract between the MCA (later Geffen) and Drive-Thru. The agreement ran from 1999 until 2004 and allowed Geffen to take over any of Drive-Thru's bands.
