BEC (Brandon Ebel Company) Recordings is a Christian rock record label that is an imprint of Tooth & Nail Records. The label was formed in 1997 in partnership with the EMI Christian Music Group.[1]
The label promotes bands with more adult Christian rock sound than Tooth & Nail Records or Solid State Records, which concentrate on heavy metal, punk, and alternative rock. BEC's roster includes Jeremy Camp, KJ-52, Kutless, and Hawk Nelson. Uprok Records, a former imprint of Tooth & Nail, lists its catalog under BEC.
