History
Kirtland Records was founded by John Kirtland, the drummer of alternative rock band Deep Blue Something.[5] After the band broke apart, Kirtland went to work at Trauma Records, an Interscope-affiliated label which launched artists such as Bush and No Doubt.[6][7] When Trauma Records founder Rob Kahane encountered financial difficulties, he borrowed money from Kirtland, offering as collateral the rights to the Bush back-catalog and royalty rights on the sales of the No Doubt album Tragic Kingdom. After Kahane defaulted on his debt, Kirtland sold the No Doubt royalty rights but kept the Bush back catalog rights.[6][7]

In 2014, Kirtland Records sold its Bush back catalog rights to Round Hill Music and Bush's frontman Gavin Rossdale.[8] Kirtland Records also released Deep Blue Something's 2015 EP, Locust House.[5]
