ECR Music Group is an American independent music company based in Manhattan. It was founded by recording artist and producer Blake Morgan in 2002 as record label Engine Company Records. Re-branded as ECR Music Group in late 2012, it now includes a roster of labels and artists.
Artists have included Janita, James McCartney, indie band Shimmerplanet, Mike Errico, Blake Morgan, Lesley Gore, David Cloyd, Melissa Giges, and others. Morgan produces the releases, and genres vary significantly. Despite releasing only a few albums a year, in 2005 the label landed five albums in the Top 20 simultaneously, including Lesley Gore's Ever Since and Rick Henrickson's Reaching For A Gun. The label continues to be active, and recently released Haunted by Finnish singer-songwriter Janita, The Complete EP Collection by James McCartney, and I Could Disappear by David Cloyd.
ECR Music Group is distributed by Burnside Distribution. As of 2012, labels include Big Pop, Curb Cut, Dylanna/MPL, Evergreene, Engine Company Records, Hook & Ladder, MaybeNot, and Starfish Music.
