History
Brandon Ebel and Michael Knott conceived the label as a joint venture, before Knott backed out.[2][3] Prior to forming Tooth & Nail, Ebel worked for Frontline Records.[4]
Tooth & Nail's first album released was Wish for Eden's Pet the Fish.[5] In 2002, the label bought out Takehold Records.[6][7] In 2013, Brandon Ebel sold the entire back catalog of the label and all of its imprints to Capitol Christian Music Group.[8]

Overview
Eight Tooth & Nail-affiliated albums have been RIAA-certified as gold for sales of 500,000 or more copies. The label had one of its greatest successes when Underoath's Define the Great Line debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2006.[9]
NPR described the label as having "altered the course of the Christian rock industry by launching and legitimizing the careers of MxPx, The O.C. Supertones and Underoath."[10]

Structure
Tooth & Nail contains multiple imprints, each catering to a different genre of music:
- Solid State Records distributes metal and hardcore albums[4]
- Plastiq Musiq (founded by Ronnie Martin of Joy Electric) primarily signed electronic music artists.[4]
On March 13, 2013, it was announced that Brandon Ebel had sold the entire Tooth & Nail music catalog to Capitol Christian Music Group (formerly EMI Christian Music Group) and by doing so was able to buy back the 50% stake in Tooth & Nail formerly owned by EMI making it an independent record label. It will retain the rights to all future releases with a new distributor, RED Distribution.[14]
