Record Label Research















As part of our research we looked into record labels and music distribution companies around in today's industry. We firstly looked at the labels of some of the bands that inspired us such as the Arctic Monkeys and The Killers, however we quickly realised that some of these labels were far too big and established for our band starting off to walk straight into. We therefore looked into the band who's song we have sampled, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, and the labels which they are signed to. Displayed above are the labels that they are signed to, Cooking Vinyl, Big Scary Monsters and rather surprisingly Atlantic Records (who are a large and established company). After looking into the label more we found that they like to invest time and money into new up and coming bands and artist, and bring them into the mainstream view of mass audience. We therefore decided that this would be the best label as it is not only a realistic opportunity as a new artist, it also allows for us as a band to promote on a large scale, and be brought the attention of mass audiences.
