Almost There Records is an independent label in Austin, Texas, focused primarily on the local rock scene. Our story begins with a Who tribute record, Who And Who, released in December 2004. Its mega-platinum success encouraged us to take things a step further, so we embarked on a new tradition by releasing the Turn 1 compilation in August 2005. Each year in August, Almost There will put out a new collection of original music from Austin’s finest bands, followed by a release party with 10-12 of these same bands. Additionally, each January we'll sponsor a hoot night to celebrate our musical heroes (The Who and Neil Young. e.g.) and the previous year's staggering financial and critical success.

Almost There Records wants to help great local rock bands get the attention they deserve. Plus, it’s an excuse to put together shows we wanna see and put out records we wanna hear. RAWK!
