The US division of Sanctuary Records has decided to scale back operations and will act only as a catalogue label in the United States. The label is the second UK-based label to make that change in the past few weeks, with V2 music taking a similar path.

The label will officially shut down those operations on June 30th, leaving only catalog, licensing, and new media staff in their current positions.

The label is home to Morrissey, The Ataris, Motorhead, Tegan & Sara and many others. The label also acts as distributor for Drive Thru Records.
