Overview
Better Noise Music is a music and content company that describes itself as a division of Better Noise Entertainment. The company says it was founded in 2006 by music-industry veteran and independent-music pioneer Allen Kovac under the name Eleven Seven Music. It later adopted the Better Noise Music identity. The supplied company description presents it as more than a record label: it develops and nurtures artists and brands, with music as part of a broader content and entertainment operation. The company's stated areas of activity include music, books, films, documentaries, theatrical productions, tours and television. Its website presents an active release catalogue spanning rock and related acts, with featured artists including From Ashes to New, Yellowcard, In This Moment, Five Finger Death Punch, The Hu, Dirty Heads, Eva Under Fire, The Funeral Portrait, Finger Eleven and Sabaton. Releases shown include albums, deluxe editions and singles. These examples describe the visible catalogue in the supplied homepage evidence and are not an exhaustive artist or product list. Better Noise Music says it operates a global marketing and distribution platform in partnership with FUGA, AMPED and Membran. The company lists offices in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, Austin, Miami, London, Berlin, Toronto and Sydney, indicating a geographically distributed operation. The evidence does not identify a single headquarters, give ownership details beyond its division relationship, or state a public-market listing status. The company describes its approach as emphasizing artist development and diversification while retaining independent roots. Its site also identifies a leadership and operating team spanning executive management, finance, creative, A&R, promotion, streaming, touring, production, licensing and international markets. The homepage highlights video and listening content as well as a collaboration with the Louder Than Life event, but the supplied information does not establish a broader campaign history.
History
Better Noise Music says its business began in 2006, when music-industry veteran and independent-music pioneer Allen Kovac founded the company as Eleven Seven Music. The company's own account frames its development around artist development and diversification, while maintaining independent roots. It describes its later identity, Better Noise Music, as part of a broader entertainment operation rather than solely a record label. The company identifies itself as a division of Better Noise Entertainment and describes its remit as creating music, books, films, documentaries, theatrical productions, tours and television. It also says it develops and nurtures artists and brands. This combination of label activity and wider content production is central to the company's stated identity, although the supplied evidence does not give dates for its name change or for the expansion into each additional medium. Better Noise Music describes itself as having grown into a global rock-focused company. Its release pages show a catalogue associated with acts including Five Finger Death Punch, Yellowcard, In This Moment, The Hu, Dirty Heads, From Ashes to New, Eva Under Fire, The Funeral Portrait, Finger Eleven and Sabaton. The homepage lists a mixture of current and forthcoming releases, including albums, deluxe editions and singles. The available evidence supports these as examples of its catalogue, but not as a complete roster or a dated chronology of signings. For distribution and marketing, Better Noise Music says it partners with FUGA, AMPED and Membran to operate a global platform. It lists offices in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, Austin, Miami, London, Berlin, Toronto and Sydney. The company does not specify in the supplied material which office is its headquarters, or provide the dates when offices or partnerships began. The company website names Allen Kovac as Chairman of the Board and lists Dan Waite as CEO, Steven P. Kline as President/COO and Harris Masood as CFO, alongside personnel responsible for creative, streaming, promotion, A&R, touring, licensing and regional operations. The supplied page is a snapshot of the listed team and does not establish appointment dates. Its homepage also features music videos, listening links and a Louder Than Life collaboration, but the evidence does not provide a dated account of marketing campaigns, controversies, acquisitions, financing or listing events.
