Atlantic

Atlantic is a renowned US record label that was founded in 1947 by Ahmet Ertegun, Herb Abramson, and Miriam Abramson. Over the years, it has grown into one of the leading companies in the music industry, known for its commitment to artistry and quality. In 1967, Atlantic was purchased by Warner Bros. film studio and operated alongside ATCO Records as separate entities. The label continued to expand its influence when it acquired Elektra in 1970, forming the Warner-Elektra-Atlantic alliance.
Today, Atlantic remains a part of the Warner Music Group and forms the Atlantic Music Group along with Elektra, Rhino Records (2), Lava, and EastWest Records America. The label's iconic Saul Bass designed W logo was introduced in 1975. With a rich history spanning decades and an impressive roster of artists, Atlantic continues to be a powerhouse in the music industry.
Please note that some releases may have different catalog numbers or codes on their sleeves or labels which are not part of the official catalog number. Additionally, early releases had yellow labels until January 1956 when they switched to red labels. French singles and EPs also have distinct catalog number patterns based on genre.

Paramore is an alternative rock band from Franklin, Tennessee. Formed in 2004, the current line-up consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro.

A huge congratulations to all the deserving winners at this year's Grammys. Have a look below to see who took the golden gramophones home.

Grammys 2024

“This Is Why was the very last song we wrote for the album. To be honest, I was so tired of writing lyrics but Taylor convinced Zac and I both that we should work on this last idea. What came out of it was the title track for the whole album. It summarizes the plethora of ridiculous emotions, the rollercoaster of being alive in 2022, having survived even just the last 3 or 4 years. You’d think after a global pandemic of fucking biblical proportions and the impending doom of a dying planet, that humans would have found it deep within themselves to be kinder or more empathetic or something. The public sphere we find ourselves re-entering after 4 years at home, in our comfort zones, is an entirely different thing than the one we knew. The restlessness, the anxiety, and the compulsion to take action— it all feels like a contradiction. On one hand, we have a legitimate platform to use which makes me want to march at every protest for social justice and devote every waking second to every single cause I believe in. On the other, I just want to go home, plant a garden, and become a distant memory to the outside world.”
