Trannie Stevens always had her eye on partnering with Uproar Records. Now, she grew up in Waco, and the freshman has watched the student-run record label on Baylor’s campus since its early beginnings a few years ago.

Freshman year is often called the year of firsts. First welcome week, first day of college. First time to live in a dorm room, first $500+ textbook purchase. First Baylor “sic ‘em” at the first Baylor football game, and the first time to do laundry for some.

Uproar Records recorded their first official radio show in a traditional broadcast format, “The Roar,” and the recording is now available to stream online at the student-run record label’s website.

After an intense audition and selection process, Baylor’s Uproar Records label has signed five artists for the upcoming year. The artists will all have the opportunity to have their music recorded professionally through Uproar Records.

Thirteen acts were selected for the After Dark performance, set for Sept. 23. About 60 Baylor students auditioned Tuesday and Wednesday in Waco Hall for Baylor University’s After Dark student variety show.

Uproar Records will release its third annual compilation album on April 27, but this year the record label is adding a twist by incorporating a sustainable fashion show and calling the event Project Greenway.

Looking to further increase the online footprint for their artists, Uproar Records has begun utilizing a new website for artist promotion.
