Rise Records#Artists

Rise was founded in 1991 by Craig Ericson in Nevada City, California. He released a small number of 7" records before putting the label on hiatus to attend college. Ericson didn't release anything further until 1999, after moving to Portland, Oregon.Label Profile: Rise Records. Alternative Press, October 2008, p. 56. He began issuing small-print 7" records, and his first CD release came in 2000, from the group One Last Thing.

Rise Records' releases are distributed in the U.S. by ADA and BMG. In July 2013, the company moved from Portland to neighboring Beaverton, Oregon.{{cite news|last=Marum|first=Anna|title=Alternative rock label Rise Records moves to Beaverton for better tax climate|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/beaverton/index.ssf/2013/08/alternative_rock_label_rise_re.html#incart_more_business|access-date=14 August 2013|newspaper=The Oregonian|date=12 August 2013}} The label has a distribution deal with Alternative Distribution Alliance,{{Cite web | url=http://ada-music.com/#partners | title=Ada – Independent Music Worldwide Services}} the indie distributor owned by Warner Music Group and directly in Europe and Australia with Warner Music and BMG.{{cite web|url=http://www.discotecalaziale.com/scheda-prodotto.aspx?codg=&area=&ind=r&fsc=r&sez=1&idtit=&art=0851756006088%20%20&cercatxt=memphis%20may%20fire&Select1=n&spr=0&pr=&prezzoda=&prezzoa= |title=Supporto |publisher=Discotecalaziale.com |access-date=21 June 2015}}
