Passenger Records was a New York City-based boutique record label that released music by adult album alternative (or Triple-A) artists. A subsidiary of Caroline Records, it was owned by Virgin Records/EMI. Its albums were distributed by Caroline Distribution in the US and Virgin or a variety of smaller labels throughout Europe, Australia, Japan and other markets. Passenger most notably represented Ben Folds Five for Caroline, releasing the band's 1995 self-titled debut album.[1] Other artists represented by the label include the defunct Philadelphia band The Low Road.

In a 1997 interview, after his band had signed with Sony's Epic/550 label and released their second album Whatever and Ever Amen, Ben Folds spoke about both Passenger and The Low Road: Template:Quote

The Passenger Records label was dissolved in the mid-to-late 1990s. Artists either continued their contracts on with Caroline Records or signed with other labels.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
