Dot On Shaft Guitars, which has quickly become Canada’s fastest-growing maker of fretted instruments, continues its conquest of the music industry with the launching of its very own record label, DOS Records. The label, a subsidiary of Dot On Shaft/Carparelli Guitars, will join the company’s two brick-and-mortar retail stores, its online store, and its music academy and makes Dot On Shaft Canada’s first guitar maker to open a record company.

DOS is quickly becoming a major player in the Canadian music scene and the new record label will only add to that reputation. Dot On Shaft founder Mike Carparelli told Gear-Vault “It was inevitable to launch DOS Records seeing that over the past years we’ve received so much unsolicited music from artists around the world. The logical next step was to find the right people and launch another dream!” DOS VP Paul Merryweather will assist in this, utilizing his own experience and contacts within the music industry.

DOS Records will run its main operations out of Toronto, Ontario but is interested in more than Canadian bands. The label wants to hear any bands that feel they deserve a chance to be heard, no matter if they are from down the block or from the other side of the world.

Bands can submit through the DOS Records website, www.dosrecordlabel.com, which the company hopes will become a go-to web destination for aspiring musicians, as the site will also provide up-and-comers access to all aspects of record production, including audio and video recording, producers, engineers, songwriters, and studios. The goal of the label is to expose and celebrate new independent music and a world-wide level.

The label officially opened its doors in June, 2009 with the album release of its first signed band, littleSUNDAY. Dot On Shaft also endorses many fine musicians, including Lucas Rossi, Suzie McNeil, and Mick Box, guitarist for 70’s legends Uriah Heep.
