Record Labels

Sumerian Records


Sumerian Records is an independent American record label based in Washington D.C and Los Angeles. The label was founded in 2006 by Ash Avildsen and made a deal with the video game series Rock Band to bring its music to Rock Band Network.


Sub Pop Records

Sub Pop Records was founded in 1986 by Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman in Seattle, Washington. The label achieved fame in the late 1980s for singing Nirvana, Soundgarden and Mudhoney. They are credited with taking the first steps toward popularizing grunge music however still sign alternative rock bands.



Hopeless Records

Hopeless Records is an independent record label based in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California. The label started in 1993 by Louis Posen and the artists signed by the label are mostly punk rock, pop punk, post-hardcore or alternative rock. Some of their most well-known artists include Avenged Sevenfold, All Time Low and Enter Shikari.



4AD Records

4AD is a independent British record label founded by Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent in 1979. The label was originally funded by Beggars Banquet Records. 



Out of the following record labels mentioned above, 4AD Records would be most appropriate as they are British and based in the UK however, I feel that Hopeless Records would be the best. This is because they are a big record company, known by thousands due to the many world known bands they have signed. This results in our music video having a chance to become more popular, if we were to be signed.
