The label releases heavy metal and hardcore bands, some of which are straight edge. Among the label's better-known signings were Set Your Goals[4] and New Found Glory.[1] The first band signed to Eulogy Recordings in April 1997 was Bird of Ill Omen, which featured several members of Wylie's band Morning Again in its line-up.[5][2] In 1999, Ian Rowan became a partner in Eulogy Recordings and later Hand of Hope Records.[2] Eulogy Recordings also financed releases by its imprint label, Hand of Hope Records.
Eulogy has had exclusive distribution deals with both Good Life Recordings and Alveran Records for European distribution,[2] and is currently[when?] distributed internationally by RED Music. On December 10, 2018, it was announced that Eulogy will be merged into the Stay Sick Recordings, a record label founded by Attila frontman, Chris Fronzak. With the acquisition, Eulogy Recordings moved its headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia.
