History
Born Bad Records was founded in September 2006 by Jean-Baptiste Guillot. It was created in parallel with the well-known record shop on rue Keller in Paris's Bastille district, which had been set up by Iwan Lozach and Mark Adolph in 1998. The label presents itself as a contemporary rock and roll label that avoids the revivalism of many of its peers, favouring bands (mostly French) that try to offer a different and new sound within a sclerotic musical genre. It also offers numerous thematic reissues that exhume the works of French artists who went unnoticed in their time, exploring the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s, with the aim of highlighting the creativity of French artists who were ahead of their time.
