2014 Winner: Run for Cover Records

In case you haven’t heard, there’s an emo revival (well, another one) happening as we speak, and Boston-based label Run for Cover is at its forefront. No longer the whiny domain of angsty teens with black eyeliner and way too many feelings, emo is being reinvented by a new generation of hungry young bands. Run for Cover founder Jeff Casazza has an ear for the genre, and he’s helped some talented outfits—Tigers Jaw, Modern Baseball and Seahaven, to name just a few standouts—put out some excellent recent albums. Get educated: Emo isn’t dead; it never was.
