History
History
Roofless Records was founded in 2007 by Dana Bassett and Matt Preira. Bassett and Preira met and began the project as undergraduate students at the New College of Florida in Sarasota, FL. On naming the label, Preira explains, “It rolls off the tongue, and I appreciated the cognitive dissonance inspired by a house with a roof that says ‘Roofless’ under it. I also appreciated the resonance with Magritte's This Is Not A Pipe painting, plus Eazy-E ran Ruthless Records (pronounced Roofless).”
