The influential 4AD label was started in 1980 by music enthusiasts Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent with financial help from Beggars Banquet, whose record store chain the pair worked for. Originally called Axis, they released an initial series of four 7" singles before finding out that the name Axis was already being used by another label. They quickly came up with a new name, 4AD, inspired by typography on a flyer announcing their releases. Under Ivo Watts-Russell's guidance, drawing influence from other UK indie labels such as Beggars Banquet, Postcard Records and Factory, 4AD quickly established a unique identity thanks to both the cover designs of Vaughan Oliver/v23 and the label's unique numbering system.

In 1992, 4AD entered a highly publicized Stateside distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records, opening offices in New York headed up by Robin Hurley. The label was largely run from California for most of the decade after Ivo Watts-Russell moved to Los Angeles in the mid-90s. In November 1999 it was announced that Martin Mills had taken over as chairman and relocated its HQ to London.

Decoding their unique numbering system reveals various formats like mail-order only releases (4AD), LPs (CAD), MP3 downloads (EAD), posters (FAD), videos (VAD) and more. The numeric portion of their catalog numbers

Hard-edged pop band Belly was founded in 1991 by former Throwing Muses member Tanya Donelly, along with Fred Abong and brothers Chris and Tom Gorman. With their strong initial success in the UK and US indie/alternative scenes, they earned two Grammy nominations in the early 1990s. Despite lineup changes, including Gail Greenwood replacing Abong on bass, Belly continued to gain popularity through tours. However, their second album King didn't receive the same acclaim as their debut Star. In 1996, Donelly disbanded Belly and embarked on a solo career.

In February 2016, Belly announced their reunion for live shows and plans to record new material. Through a PledgeMusic campaign, they released their third album Dove on May 3rd, 2018. With influences ranging from French Montana to Snoop Dogg, Belly's music offers a unique blend of pop and alternative sounds that captivate audiences worldwide.

If you enjoy artists like French Montana or Travis Scott, then you'll definitely appreciate the dynamic sound of Belly. Their latest album Dove showcases their evolution as musicians while staying true to their roots. Check out our collection of albums by this talented group today!
