Counting Crows man launches label

Counting Crows man Adam Duritz has launched a new record label called Tyrannosaurus Records (or T-Recs for short, see what he did there?). Here's what he has to say about it: "My vision for T-Recs is an intimate boutique label. We handle everything in-house and we're taking on a very limited number of artists so that each band gets personal attention". Former Counting Crows manager Nicole Pierce will run the new label day to day out of offices in New York. The first two signings to the label are Notar and Blacktop Mourning, two bands Duritz reportedly stumbled across on MySpace (actually, word has it, it was because Duritz was so excited about these bands that he decided to set up a label in the first place).
