Papa Roach have changed the name of their record label from New Noize to El Tonal. The label, an imprint of Universal label Dreamworks, is A&Red by the band, their most high profile signing being Alien Ant Farm. Papa Roach guitarist Jerry Horton gave only basic information on the name change: "We had a little copyright battle and lost. We have changed the name to El Tonal. It is not called New Noise anymore".
He was more keen to talk about the competition his label is running to find a band to support Papa Roach on a forthcoming tour. "It is a contest to find an unsigned band. We are always on the road so we get a feel for what is out there. In every town there is a guy in a band who is not signed. Obviously he tries as hard as he can to get his CD to us. We listen to all the demos that we get. We are not really searching all the time but when something comes our way that we think is really good we will do our best to pass it along to people who can really work with it".
