Demolition Records was a record label based in Jarrow, UK, specializing in heavy metal and rock, with many international artists. It was founded in 2000 by brother Ged and Eric Cooke. There were also distribution offices in Frankfurt, Manhattan, and Tokyo. In 2007, the label was later rumored to be signing ZZ Top and Whitesnake, which would greatly increase their sales, but the rumors were quickly dismissed. They also operated the sublabel DR2.
