Squint Entertainment
Country: United States of America
Squint Entertainment was a record label owned by Word Entertainment, started and run by musician and songwriter Steve Taylor in 1997. Squint pushed Sixpence None the Richer to mainstream success with their single "Kiss Me". The band had been in the CCM genre for several years before that. Other successful bands, such as Chevelle, emerged from Squint's brief creative life.
After creative differences between the parent company and Taylor, he was forced out in 2000. Several months later, a deal to purchase the label from Word with financial backing from Big Idea fell apart, and in 2001, the label name was rolled into Word Records. Since Word's acquisition by The Warner Music Group in 2004, there have been no new releases under the Squint Imprint.
