History
Deep Elm Records originally started out in New York City, and according to founder John Szuch, was formed to help build and support the local music scene. Deep Elm's first release was the single "Anthemic Tune" by Curdlefur in 1995. Their first album was released by Camber in March 1997.
In 2006 Deep Elm Records signed their first UK act Free Diamonds. As of 2008, Deep Elm stopped pressing physical CDs and vinyl, effectively becoming a digital only label. The label has a promotion where they give away 99 songs free to every person. Deep Elm is also highly active in the licensing of music to TV / Film / Commercials.
The label has adamantly refused to be bought out by a larger company, and are currently located in Maui, Hawaii.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
