Beyond Music was an American record label group based in Los Angeles, California. It was founded in August 1998 by Allen Kovac.[1][2] The label group operated as an arm of Kovac's Left Bank Management firm (founded in 1983), which he jointly ran with Jeffrey Sydney.[2][3][4] The label was known for its strategy of "resurrecting" bands and artists that had decreased in popularity with unusual high-profile marketing campaigns, and its roster included Yes, Blondie, Veruca Salt, Mötley Crüe, Vince Neil, and others.[5][6] It also signed a variety of new bands and artists, such as Lucy Pearl and 58.
