Pure Noise Records is an independent record label founded in 2009 by Jake Round in Berkeley, California. Initially operating out of Round’s bedroom, the label quickly gained momentum through a sharp focus on emerging punk, hardcore, and alternative acts, becoming a vital platform for a new generation of underground artists.

Rooted in DIY principles, Pure Noise is known for its passionate support of bands that blend aggressive energy with emotional depth. The label rose to prominence by signing breakout acts like The Story So Far, State Champs, and Knocked Loose, who helped redefine modern pop-punk and hardcore in the 2010s. These artists brought critical acclaim and commercial success, helping Pure Noise build a loyal, global fanbase.

Expanding its reach, the label diversified into adjacent genres, adding bands like Counterparts, Four Year Strong, and Seeyouspacecowboy, reflecting the evolving tastes of alternative youth culture. Despite its growth, Pure Noise has maintained its independent spirit and commitment to artist development.

Today, Pure Noise Records is recognized as a powerhouse in alternative music, known for discovering and nurturing genre-defining talent. Its influence continues to shape the future of punk, hardcore, and beyond, making it a cornerstone of the modern independent music scene.
