- Poptones is a record label launched by Alan McGee after the demise of Creation Records in 1999. Named after a Public Image Limited song, it is seen as something of a return to the staunchly independent roots of Creation. Most notably, the label launched the career of The Hives in the UK. Poptones' roster included acts such as psychedelic DJ Cherrystones, ex-Beta Band member Steve Mason's King Biscuit Time, Thee Unstrung, The Icarus Line's sister project Souls She Said, Sailboats are White, Viking Moses and acey-folk acts The Singleman Affair and Pure Reason Revolution and Trashmonk, a project of Nick Laird-Clowes. Poptones reportedly was close to signing Hole after they left Universal Music Group and before their demise in 2002. In May 2007, McGee told The Independent newspaper that he was winding down Poptones for financial reasons.
