History
Formed in 1998 by singer/songwriters and producers Russ Tolman and Pat Thomas,[4] Innerstate Records continues today distributing its catalog as a digital label via distributor The Orchard.[5] It spawned two offshoot labels innerSPACE,[6] which specialized in space rock, prog and krautrock and WEED,[7] which was a catch-all for eclectic releases. The labels releases both new recordings and reissues, but is not actively soliciting to sign new acts.[8]
