Institutional Context

The band we are using, Eels are an American band signed to Vagrant which is an indie rock based label. They sign bands that are all similar to the Eels which is interesting.
Our hypothetical band, The Teacups would be signed to a similar label but most probably British and smaller such as Fueled by Ramen. This label signs indie/rock/alternative bands that are sort of strange and different, a lot like our band.
Our band The Teacups are very similar to Panic! At The Disco which is why we picked Fueled by Ramen, as they are signed to this label which is an independent pop record label.

Fueled By Ramen

Fueled By Ramen was started as a label by Less Than Jake guitarist Vinnie Fiorello and John Janick in 1996. The label is a key player in the development of Punk Pop and released early recordings by Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World and Yellowcard. Among the key artists currently on the label are:

- Panic! At The Disco
- Less Than Jake

Very non-mainstream record label that originates from New York City and is a subsiduary of Warner Music Group.
