Sargent House is an American management company and record label based in Los Angeles. It was founded in June 2006 by Cathy Pellow,[1] who is a music video commissioner for Atlantic Records[2] and also owns a music video production company called Refused TV. Pellow began managing the rock outfit RX Bandits in 2006.[2] The band needed to release its new album ...And the Battle Begun, so Pellow decided to launch her own record label (also to be able to do things differently from the traditional model of record labels).[3][4][5][6] From that point onward, Pellow continued to manage bands and release records, all under the Sargent House banner.
Sargent House managed bands also have a release on the SH label. The label has a "no submissions" policy, preferring to add new bands stemming from within Sargent House.
As of March 2023, Pellow has stepped down from management duties following musician Henry Kohen (Mylets) posting a video on Reddit alleging widespread abuse at the label. Chelsea Wolfe, Lingua Ignota, and King Woman, who had all previously cut ties with the label, released statements on social media alluding to similar negative experiences.[7]
