History

Excelsior was founded by Ferry Roseboom and Frans Hagenaars under the name "Nothing Sucks Like Electrolux", releasing a few limited-run seven-inch singles in 1995.[2] The name Excelsior was adopted in 1996 after the label was acquired by MCA Records as a subsidiary for releasing alternative rock albums in the Low Countries.[2] By 2001, the label had acquired a distributor in the United States, Sure Fire Recordings.[3] The label was later acquired by V2 Records.[4]
