History

The name Rob's House Records comes from the record label designation on a split 7-inch record released by Atlanta bands

in 2003. At the time of the release, neither band had any record label affiliation, and it was decided that the record would be self-released. Being that all the members of the bands lived in rented properties at the time of the release, it was decided that a more permanent address needed to be printed on the back of the label. A mutual friend of both bands, named Rob, owned a house in Atlanta and agreed to loan his address for the purpose. The name Rob's House Records was printed in the bottom left hand corner of the 7-inch record. Initially the name was intended only for this one release. Two years later, Trey Lindsay of The Liverhearts, after returning from a study abroad program in Paris, abruptly quit The Liverhearts after deciding he wanted to focus on other projects. Lindsay began work on the creation of a record label that would help to promote the local underground music scene within Atlanta. The primary format of release would be 7-inch records. With permission from both The Orphins and The Liverhearts, the name Rob's House records was resurrected in 2005. In 2006, Lindsay recruited Travis Flagel to help with the growing label.
