Vagrant Records is an American record label based in California. It was founded in 1995 by Rich Egan and Jon Cohen. The label focuses on rock, but features artists in a variety of other genres including folk, soul, electronic, and pop. Vagrant is currently a division of BMG Rights Management.
In 2011, Need for Speed teamed up with HP and Vagrant Records to let fans decide which of the favorite bands they would like to see in Need for Speed: The Run. The fans got a choice to vote for their favorite song and artist, which includes the song "Mama Taught Me Better" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, "Solar" by MonstrO and "Tropical Depression" by The Night Marchers, on The Run's official website.
In 2016, the label got its own radio station in Forza Horizon 3
