The Undertow Music Collective began in 1996 as a group of independent artists, musicians, film makers and designers sharing ideas and resources. We work closely with a select roster of artists we love, respect, and call our friends. Our goal is to create a friendly and productive environment for these people to make music while keeping their integrity and artistic vision intact. Today, the Undertow Collective operates out of Saint Louis MO, Champaign IL, Los Angeles CA, Nashville TN, Boston MA, Portland OR, London UK.
We are big fans of the environment so we try our best conserve energy and recycle as much as possible. We use energy efficient CFL light bulbs in our office and warehouse space. The bubble mailers we use to send CDs are light-weight poly material made from recycled plastics. We use these because they are water proof, tear resistant, reusable, and no trees are harmed to make them. The LP mailers we use are recycled cardboard. Poster tubes are made from recycled materials. The poster tubes also make really good swords for Pirate Friday. Aaargh!
Where Does The Money Go?
We work closely with all the bands who have their stuff on this web site. When you buy from this website you are supporting the people who make the music you care about. All net profits from sales go directly to the bands.
