BEC (Brandon Ebel Company) Recordings is a Christian rock record label that is an imprint of Tooth & Nail Records. The label was formed in 1997 in partnership with the EMI Christian Music Group.[1]
The label is home to many bands that, while falling under the Christian rock/Contemporary umbrella, that also have a more adult sound to the music, as opposed to Tooth & Nail Records or its other subsidiary Solid State Records which tend to be more focused on more of a heavy metal, punk, or Alternative rock sound. BEC's major artists have included Kutless, KJ-52, Jeremy Camp, and Hawk Nelson. Uprok Records, a former imprint of Tooth & Nail, now lists its catalog under BEC.
