::summary American record label ::

Carved Records is an American record label in Dallas which began in 2009.

History

Carved Records was founded by CEO Tim Porter (after a career in many non-music business ventures) and Phil Thomas, vice president of operation. Thomas is a music industry veteran with over 20 years in the music industry. Since its formation, the label has released six albums and a compilation album.

In 2012, Carved secured a distribution deal with EMI and deals with The Orchard and Cargo Records for worldwide distribution.

Artists

, Carved Records has two significant bands on the label.

; Texas Hippie Coalition The band Texas Hippie Coalition (THC) was brought to the label’s attention early because of their self-generated success. THC had been on the road consistently playing with bands they had grown up idolizing. They had found supportive fans in the form of music lovers, gear companies, and corporate sponsors. THC met with Carved in late 2009. Shortly thereafter, Texas Hippie Coalition was the first band signed to Carved Records. They released their first national album, ''Rollin''' on July 6, 2010 via Carved. On August 14, 2013, THC released their third studio album, "Peacemaker".

; Tyler Bryant In February 2012, Carved Records signed Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown. Tim Porter said, “Once we witnessed a live performance, adding Tyler to the Carved family was a priority. Not only is Tyler extremely talented, he has surrounded himself with equally as talented band mates. These guys are the real deal and everyone at Carved is very excited to be working with them.” On January 22, 2013, Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown released their first full-length album, "Wild Child".
