Tooth & Nail Records is a record label^[1] founded by Brandon Ebel in California in November 1993. The label later moved to Seattle where it is today. Tooth & Nail and its imprint Solid State Records have been home to many well-known rock & metal acts, including Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada, Fit For A King, MxPx, Emery, Norma Jean, Silent Planet, The Almost, Demon Hunter, Hawk Nelson, Starflyer 59, FM Static, Anberlin, & many more.

Tooth & Nail's first album released was Wish for Eden's Pet the Fish,^[2] which was produced by Michael Knott and originally slated to be released by Blonde Vinyl. Releases from The Juliana Theory, MxPx, and Starflyer 59 made Tooth & Nail known in music circles, as well as a niche underground subculture in itself. Prior to forming Tooth & Nail, Ebel worked for Frontline Records.^[3]

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.^[4]

The label also released a limited edition hard cover book; the proceeds went to benefit Music Cares.^[5]

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."^[6]

Tooth & Nail contains multiple imprints, each catering to a different genre of music:

• BEC Recordings mostly includes artists in the mainstream sect of commercial Christian rock such as Kutless and Jeremy Camp, with some exceptions (such as hip hop artists KJ-52 and Manafest).
• Solid State Records distributes metal and hardcore albums^[3] by artists such as Living Sacrifice, Demon Hunter, Haste the Day, Underoath and August Burns Red.
• Plastiq Musiq (founded by Ronnie Martin of Joy Electric) primarily signed electronic music artists.^[3] Tooth & Nail entered a partnership to distribute Plastiq Musiq albums in 1998 and 1999.^[10] Plastiq Musiq continues to release albums independently.
• Fugitive Recordings primarily is made up of artists marketed outside of the Christian market, including Denison Witmer, The Presidents of the United States of America, and Young London.
• The label acquired Takehold Records, an independent record label, in 2002. This acquisition brought several bands to Tooth & Nail including Underoath, Further Seems Forever, Few Left Standing and Narcissus.

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.^[11]
