Omnivore

Omnivore Recordings is an independent record label based in Los Angeles, USA. Founded in 2010 by music industry veterans Cheryl Pawelski, Greg Allen, Dutch Cramblitt, and Brad Rosenberger, the label specializes in preserving legacies and music created by historical, heritage, and catalog artists. They are also known for releasing previously unissued and newly found "lost" recordings.

With a mission to honor the rich musical history of artists from various genres, Omnivore Recordings has acquired the catalogs of renowned musicians such as *The Buck Owens Estate*, *Big Star*, and *Game Theory* in 2017. This acquisition further solidifies their commitment to preserving important musical works that may have otherwise been forgotten or lost.

As a leading authority on archival releases and reissues, Omnivore Recordings ensures that fans of these artists can continue to enjoy their timeless music while introducing new audiences to their incredible talent. With a dedication to quality sound restoration and comprehensive liner notes, they provide listeners with an immersive experience into the artist's world.

Boston-based band formed by Jonathan Richman, The Modern Lovers, existed from 1970 to 1974. Despite recording two studio albums during this time, the demos remained unreleased until 1976 and 1981. The band was initially inspired by the sound of the Velvet Underground, with Richman even spending time in New York City immersing himself in their music. After returning home, he quickly organized a band consisting of childhood friend John Felice on guitar, David Robinson on drums (later of The Cars), and Rolfe Anderson on bass. They played their first show just a month after Richman's return.

The Modern Lovers can be compared to artists such as Richard Hell, Jonathan Richman &amp; The Modern Lovers, Television, and more. Their unique blend of rock and punk influences made them stand out in the music scene at the time.

Although short-lived as a band, The Modern Lovers left a lasting impact on the Boston music scene and beyond with their raw energy and distinctive sound.

Rock ‘n Roll with the Modern Lovers is the second album released as Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers. The band, which is build around singer-songwriter and guitarist Jonathan Richman, almost totally focuses on the sound from the ‘50s. The lo-fi record breathes folky roots music and rock ‘n roll as it would sound ages ago. "Ice Cream Man", "Egyptian Reggae" (earning them a UK Top 5 hit) and "Roller Coaster by the Sea" are all superb songs, uncomplicated and wonderful. This is one of the most remarkable projects recorded by Jonathan. The Modern Lovers were formed in 1970 by teenage singer, songwriter, guitarist Jonathan Richman, augmented with Jerry Harrison (keyboards), Ernie Brooks (bass) and David Robinson (drums), with Richman’s friend and original band member John Felice joining them occasionally.
