The Arena Rock Recording Company ('ARRCO') was founded by Greg Glover and Dan Ralph in a hole-in-the-wall on NYC's Lower East Side sometime in the mid 1990's. Several pints deep into conversation the name 'Arena Rock' replaced 'Stiff Goat Records' as the two anxiously awaited their measly tax return checks (Greg's from waiting tables and Dan's from a bubble gum factory). Not too long afterwards ARRCO 001 was printed on a Superdrag seven-inch sleeve. Greg and Dan continue to be the sole owners of ARRCO.
ARRCO is distributed by Redeye in the United States and Koch in Canada.
