Eleven Seven Label Group was named Billboard magazine's Rock Label of the Year in 2010.[3]

In 2009, Eleven Seven Label Group created an alternative/indie sub-label called Five Seven Music for alternative rock bands[4] such as Just Loud, Bleeker, Romes and Dirty Heads. The latter had three Top five Billboard alternative chart albums.[2] Better Noise Records, another home for hard rock acts, was founded in 2015 as part of Eleven Seven.[5]

Eleven Seven expanded its base from New York City and Los Angeles, with the opening of international offices[2] in London, England in 2012, and Berlin, Germany in 2019.[6] The company entered into a global partnership with Marshall Records in 2018 in order to bring Marshall artists to North and South America via Eleven Seven's distribution system.[7]

In October 2019, Eleven Seven changed its name to Better Noise Music, with the Five Seven and Eleven Seven imprints keeping their names.[8]
