Warner brothers

Warner brothers formed its own record label in 1958 which was called Warner brothers records this was a small division of the Warner brothers studios. This record label started of by recording various genres with were: pop, jazz, classical, spoken word, folk and lastly gospel. Throughout the years the record label has grown and now currently has many subsidiary labels including machine shop recordings and Maybach music group. Machine shop recordings has Linkin park partly signed to them.

Jive records

A child company of Sony music entertainment which is one of the big 3 companies in music. Jive records would be good for helping with Archean Soundtracks rap side of there performance as Jive records has more rap artists then rock some of which include, chipmunk, Lil Twist, Lil Wayne. But they also signed people like Nicki Minaj, this shows that they can support other artists in different genres which is also good. Therefore jive records is also a good choice for Archean Soundtrack to be signed to.

Machine shop recording

Machine shop recordings is owned by Warner brothers, as previously stated. Machine shop recording: ‘specializes in discovering and supporting career artists. By working with each artist to build and sustain a fan base from the ground up’. This would be an ideal record company for Archean soundtrack to be signed to. This is because it has various bands of the rap/rock genre. For example Linkin Park, Styles of Beyond and various others. I feel that machine shop recordings would be able to attract Archean soundtracks target audience and provide them the basis to make it to the big time. This would be the most likely record company to help Archean soundtrack and expand there fan base to create a globally know band.
