BETTER NOISE MUSIC, fresh from celebrating its fifth year as #1 Billboard and Media Base Active Rock Radio label, is further ramping up in 2025, proudly announcing four new key signings to the label: SABATON, YELLOWCARD, IN THIS MOMENT and THE RASMUS.
Having carved out unique identities in the rock world, each new signing is now primed to experience greater success in the USA and globally via their affiliation with BETTER NOISE MUSIC.
The label is known for its creative artist development, innovative cross-media strategies, and ability to build international success stories. It was named Billboard’s #1 Mainstream Rock Airplay Label and #1 Mainstream Rock Airplay Imprint of 2024, after its history-making run of 5 consecutive years as the #1 Mainstream Rock Airplay Imprint (2018-2022). In 2023 Allen Kovac moved up to Chairman role, and over the last 2.5 years, the company has been run by Dan Waite, CEO, Steve Kline, COO and President, Harris Masood, CFO, and Paul Cormack, GM.
SABATON: “We’re truly excited to begin this new chapter with Better Noise Music,”Pär Sundström comments. “After exploring various record labels worldwide, we found Better Noise to be the perfect fit. As an independent label, they haven’t traditionally focused on our style of heavy metal, making this collaboration particularly exciting. We’re excited to see how this partnership develops, confident that they’re ready to embrace the challenge of working with a band that brings a unique sound to their roster.”
THE RASMUS: “Working with Better Noise has been splendid, as we share the same mindset. The fact that they focus on long-term artist careers rather than just one single release aligns perfectly with what we strive for at Backbone Management. Their dedication to A&R, meticulous planning, and ensuring that everything is in place has been truly impressive. I am very much looking forward to a long-term relationship with Better Noise and taking The Rasmus’ already successful career to new heights.”
YELLOWCARD: “We are so excited to work with Better Noise Music on this new chapter for Yellowcard. After an unreal celebration of the Ocean Avenue 20 Year Anniversary, we are very grateful to have partners that believe in this band as much as we do. These are the most epic songs we’ve ever recorded, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to put them out into the world!”
