Restless Records was created by Enigma Records in 1985 to focus on acts that were considered unready for major label distribution. By 1991, Enigma was folded into Restless, and the relaunched company was handled by former Enigma executives William Hein and Joe Regis. Restless subsequently became one of the original stakeholders in Warner Music Group's Alternative Distribution Alliance, which was founded in 1993.
In 1997, Restless was acquired by film and television production company New Regency Enterprises, an arrangement that lasted until 2001. Rykodisc bought Restless soon thereafter and continued to run the company as an active Ryko imprint until both labels were purchased outright by Warner Music Group in 2006.
