You had many options on what to do with your time, and you ended up here. For that, we want to thank you. Secondly, we want you to know that Gold Fang is hyper-focused on delivering high quality art. whether that’s music, books, fashion, or film/video, we want to drive the artist community and culture forward, where it’s never going to be for commercial bottom line or to sacrifice the artists’ vision of what they want to create. We want to release great art, by great people, who have something to say, and We want to inspire other people to do the same. We want to create conversations. Build community. Share love. and Show people that the impossible is possible.
This vision started in 2004, when EMERALD MOON RECORDS was born. What started as a passion project in Baltimore, MD., where we helped start the careers of ALL TIME LOW (Hopeless, Fueled by Ramen, Interscope, Warner) & LADY RADIATOR (Interscope), turned into a full fledge regional movement. Being told you can't do something is very powerful, especially to people who had a fire and a passion to not only release incredible music, by incredible people, but by a group of people who wanted to disrupt the independent music industry. we had no idea what we were doing, slinging CD's and vinyl out of the trunk of cars and a tiny one bedroom apartment, but after 8 years and 33 releases later, through many ups and downs, true friendships bonded for life, memories, mistakes and learnings along the way, we saw the physical and digital music landscape change. Because of this, Emerald Moon went dark in 2012.
Dormant since 2012, a fire and passion have been burning inside. Unfinished business. During these years we’ve been learning, growing, working, expanding, developing. A fire that has never stopped burning and has only gotten hotter. Today we are ready to do this one more time. This time stronger, smarter, more focused, learning from mistakes, and more agile to the change. We will release music, books, art and fashion. We will help artists launch their brands, and help them live out their dreams. This is the start of another movement, and we want to be the greatest to ever do it.
Now in 2026, “labels” are perceived more as a distributor or financial unit rather than a creator of art. We at Gold Fang want to be creators, a roster of artists, a brand. we want it to emulate the labels we looked up to in the 90’s and 00’s where we searched on the back of records for the logo, and would buy music unheard because we trusted that logo.
To us that is the culture that we’re trying to represent from a brand point of view. A place where music, art and culture are fostered in a really deliberate and very thoughtful way. Let's take over the world together, one band, one artist, one human at a time.
