Ardent Records, often shortened to "Ardent," is a Memphis record label founded by John
Fry in 1959. Ardent of the 1960s and 1970s featured pop music acts and was distributed
by Stax Records from 1972 until 1975. It is best remembered today for Big Star, whose
first two albums, released in 1972 and 1974, helped define the style known as power
pop. The label was initially an attempt by the R&B-focused Stax to move into rock
music, but distribution problems prevented any releases from succeeding. Big Star
became widely known through 80s reissues and the long delayed first release of Third/
Sister Lovers, recorded in 1974.
The label was revived in the 1990s with two divisions: Alternative Mainstream and
Contemporary Christian. Former Big Star guitarist Alex Chilton released recordings on
the Ardent mainstream division, which also released recordings by bands such as Spot,
Jolene, Two Minutes Hate, The Idlewilds, Neighborhood Texture Jam, and Techno-Squid
Eats Parliament. The mainstream division of Ardent Records was closed in the mid-1990s.
Ardent's Christian label issued its first Christian releases in 1995. Initial projects
included albums from Big Tent Revival, Skillet, and Smalltown Poets. To date, Ardent
Records has released more than 35 albums by artists such as Skillet, Todd Agnew,
Jonah33, Smalltown Poets, Satellite Soul, Clear, All Together Separate, Brother's
Keeper, Justifide, Before You Breathe, NonFiction and Joy Whitlock. In 2005, Ardent
inked a deal with INO Records, a division of Integrity Media, to distribute and market
its entire roster.
The label's albums are recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis.
