Pure Noise Records is an American punk rock record label based in Berkeley, California. It was founded by Jake Round in 2009 while he was an editor at AMP Magazine; the previous fall, friends of his in the band No Bragging Rights told him they were looking for a new label, and Round expressed interest in releasing the album himself.[1] Prior to this Round had a short stint as an intern at Fat Wreck Chords.[2] While the label began as a home operation, and had only put out five albums by the end of 2010,[3] by 2014 some of the label's roster were main-stage acts at Warped Tour, and others had sold nearly 50,000 copies of their albums.[4] Overall, the label's catalog had sold over 280,000 records as of March 2014.[5] Among the label's signings are Vanna and Hit the Lights.[6]In March 2017, Pure Noise Records partnered with Sony Music to create a new music label called Weekday Records.[7]
