Singer-songwriter Ben Kweller has announced he is launching his own record label, to be called Noise Company. The Austin-based label will handle all of Kweller’s own releases, with plans down the line to sign other acts too.

Confirming the new venture, Kweller told reporters: “There’s a lot of geeky stuff involved, but as a diehard music junkie and record collector, these things get me excited. It’s the real deal, not just an artist self-releasing his music. We have a real staff, real funding, real distribution, and I look forward to eventually helping other artists achieve their goals too”.

He continued: “I’ve worked with some great people, most of whom I remain friends with today. Unfortunately, we’ve all been operating within an antiquated system that doesn’t work any more. The Noise Co is another step in creating my own system. It gives me the opportunity to work directly with people in the industry who were previously off limits”.
