Mono Vs Stereo is an independent record label based in Franklin, Tennessee. It was founded in 2003 as an imprint label of Gotee Records. While Gotee signs mostly rap, hip-hop, and pop-rock artists, MVS leans more towards harder/indie music.

About Mono Vs Stereo: Mono Vs Stereo was established in 2002 and released its first project called "The Revolution Will Begin In The Blink Of An Eye" in June of 2003. The compilation featured the debut song from The Evan Anthem (also Mono vs Stereo's first signing)as well as an exclusive track from Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes (side project from the lead singer of Relient K). Soon after followed a release by Relient K called "The Vinyl Countdown" and the debut album from The Evan Anthem called "Prologue". 2004 saw the release of an EP from singer/songwriter Andy Zipf, an online and shows only EP from Chasing Victory; and, in the fall the highly-acclaimed debut album from The Showdown titled "A Chorus of Obliteration". In 2005 another Revolution compilation was released with new material from The Evan Anthem and again Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes. This was followed by the the release of MVS's next signing Last Tuesday and shortly after that the second album from The Evan Anthem called "Sens". Finally in the fall two strong debut albums were released, the first by Chasing Victory and the last by southern-hardcore act Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. 2006 started with the release of another new act House of Heroes which was followed by the concept album called My Other Band which featured 5 different side projects from members of Relient K, Demon Hunter, Bleach, and Audio A. In August came the second album from road dogs Last Tuesday and on the heels of that came the debut from Gasoline Heart. So, what's next for MVS in 2007? Well, get ready to git snake bit on February 20 with the long-awaited new album from The Showdown.

[edit] Notes

1. These bands have appeared on compilations only.
2. While MVS released an album for House of Heroes, it was merely a re-release of their Gotee Records album, with two new songs, so the band may or may not stick with MVS as their distributer.
3. Maylene is currently on Ferret Records, however, MVS will still distribute their albums to the Christian market.
4. While Relient K is featured on the artist list, Mono Vs Stereo has only released vinyls for the band. 1
