Silvertone

Silvertone Records was founded in 1991 as a subsidiary of the Zomba Group, primarily focusing on alternative rock, pop, and electronic music. The label gained prominence in the 1990s, known for its roster of influential artists. Notable acts included the British band The Verve, whose album "Urban Hymns" achieved significant commercial success, and the alternative rock group The Black Crowes. Silvertone also released music from artists like The Charlatans and The Dandy Warhols, contributing to the era's diverse soundscape. Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, Silvertone expanded its catalog, embracing various genres, including indie rock and electronic pop. Although the label's prominence waned with the rise of digital music, its legacy endures through the influential artists it represented and the impact it had on the alternative music scene of the 1990s. Silvertone remains a notable part of the history of independent record labels in the UK.
