BAND MEMBERS

RECORD LABEL

Paramore’s primary record label is Fueled By Ramen and are distributed by Atlantic Group in the US and Warner International outside of the US.

As Fueled By Ramen are a comparatively small label, Paramore are still given the credibility and legitimacy of other rock bands who are on more unknown labels. Whilst Paramore’s primary label is Fueled By Ramen, they have the support of the Atlantic Group and their distribution abilities.

This gives them the ability to be in mainstream charts but also still keep the conventional rock band image.
