The label's founders were influenced by a love of angular pop music and the Manchester label Factory Records. Gaining funding through medical testing, Angular Recording Corporation was able to finance its debut release in November 2003, the NME-championed The New Cross : An Angular Sampler, making it the lead review in the magazine.[2]
In the 2011 England riots, the label lost all its stock and entire back catalogue in the PIAS warehouse fire.[3]
