About Us

HIJACKED RECORDS is an independent record label based in Glasgow, Scotland. The label was formed in 2003.

The first HIJACKED RECORDS single by Raising Kain (then known as KAIN) HJ001 featuring 'Baby Am Amazed' (backed with Daddy Daddy and Satellite). The single sold out its 2000 copies and drew universal aclaim. HIJACKED RECORDS full promotion of the release through press and events across the UK resulted in raising the profile of the band, which led to their signing in August 2004 by Warner offshoot RUSHMORE RECORDS. The experience with RAISING KAIN has formed a template for work with other artists and typifies the close working relationship HIJACKED cultivates with its roster. (Now alas we are sorry to report that as of January 2006 raising KAIN are no longer and that the band have decided to split up) They will be sadly missed.

HIJACKED RECORDS second project was that of an album from another hugely popular Glasgow based band called 'THE PEOPLE' the self-titled album HJ002 released in January 2005 featured the fusion of Folk, Blues and Roots music. "probably Glasgow's Hardest working band" THE PEOPLE are now set to release vastly anticipated new material as well as continue to develop their sound, searching for new soundscapes and writing songs that will continue to draw on the success of their previous material.

HJ003 Was that of Local boys done good 'THE RONELLES' and their single 'Ol Horses Eyes' (re-release is on the way). Wearing their influences proudly on their sleeves as well as providing solid tunes and flawless musicianship The Ronelles have conquered venue after venue as well as winning the hearts of audiences nationwide.
