Chocolate Lab Records is an American independent record label formed in Los Angeles, California in 2008 and is currently based in Chicago, Illinois. To date the label has records from Andy Yorke[1] (formerly of Unbelievable Truth), Paper Round Kid, Clock Hands Strangle, The Houston Brothers, and Motion Turns It On. In May 2010 they signed Jon Lindsay.[2][3]

Controversy[edit]

In October 2009, Chocolate Lab Records was involved in a minor dispute regarding iTunes' new iTunes LP format. Label owner Brian McKinney contacted his distributor in order to get information on creating and submitting iTunes LPs for their artists and was told that indie labels were not being considered for iTunes LPs and that if they were the cost of entry would be $10,000. He reported his findings to tech website Gizmodo who posted a blog about the situation.[4] A week later Apple reps began contacting websites and blogs to dispute McKinney's claims and to announce that iTunes LPs would be available to everyone soon.[5] It's unclear whether McKinney was involved in changing an Apple policy or if it was just a misunderstanding and/or coincidence.
