Rocketown Records
Rocketown Records was an independent record label which was started in 1996 by Michael W. Smith. In the fall of 1995, met with Don Donahue, A&R director at Reunion Records, to discuss creation of the label.
In 1996, Word Records bought a minority share of the company.[1]
Imprint
In 2006, Rocketown started the RKT Music imprint label to concentrate on a younger demographic. The first album released was Lifegiver by Hyper Static Union as a partnership between Rocketown and the Christian rock band Third Day. Hyper Static Union was signed to a production deal with Third Day's Consuming Fire Productions. Additional releases by RKT include Learning to Lose by The Turning and High Flight Society.

gollark: Wait, is this obfuscated bytecode thing just loading *more* XORed code from somewhere?
gollark: Huh, getmetatable, I did worry about that. Perhaps it is some sort of strange interaction between the nil/string metatables features and the potatOS core.
gollark: Oh, a pcall exploit, possibly. We had lots of those.
gollark: Well, this is... interesting.
gollark: I'm busy reverse-engineering the uninstaller.
