Talk:Fueled by Ramen

Are they still Indie?
It states that they are a wholly owned subsidiary by Warner, but then again just a couple of months ago they were labeled as Indie, but right now theres no real mention of them ever being an indie label.

Does this article really need intructions how to pronounce ramen?--Piroteknix 02:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Does the logo actually have Umaga in it?

Doesn't Make Any Sense - Contradictions to Other Pages
The page starts off talking about Jimmy Eat World etc. and suddenly jumps to Fall Out Boy and whatever. What happened to everyone in between? --82.44.210.62 (talk) 20:03, 20 September 2008 (UTC) Also it says that Paramore have the fastest selling album, that's ludicrous - because if you check the discography of the label, Infinity on High was released by them, which sold more than a 100,000 more in its first week, so that should be the fastest selling. Also; a note on the best selling album by them - From Under the Cork Tree would also be a worthy addition. Also, somebody keeps removing that addition, fancy not doing so? Because whoever did it, is most likely a stuck-up Paramore fan, thank you.

Owned by Warner Music?
The article states in the first paragraph that Fueled by Ramen is a "wholly owned subsidiary of Warner Music Group and Atlantic Records". However, on riaaradar.com they show the label as being fully independent. I will remove the statement unless someone can prove it. chad. (talk) 21:20, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

the word from the official warner music group site (note that Atlantic records is owned by Warner):

'In 2007, Janick and Fueled By Ramen moved to Manhattan, where the label’s innovative partnership with Atlantic Records has given them access to the resources of a major label while retaining the hands-on intimacy of an indie.'

Blanked, sorta
I kinda blanked this page because it needs to be completely re-done, this label is very popular and this wiki sucked, someone that is good at making wikis please re-do this one. Meowdon (talk) 03:28, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I just added the entire 'about Fueled By Ramen' thing from their website to the wiki. Blsupr (talk) 03:51, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


 * That would be plagiarism and against Wikipedia rules. You actually have to write the article. In any event, the article has been redone since the user above commented. --Russ is the sex (talk) 16:21, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

The history section is still not very good. It jumps from '98 to '04 as if nothing happened between that period of time. It needs to be rewritten. Blsupr (talk) 22:17, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Genre
It's also an emo record label Click the link and it's the second paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.71.24.131 (talk) 19:19, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That doesn't say emo, it says Emo-Pop. --Russ is the sex (talk) 15:32, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

by
The 'by' in Fueled By Ramen should be capitalized. I don't know how to go about changing that. Blsupr (talk) 22:18, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Nearly nine years later and this still needs to happen. Fueled By Ramen is always written with a capital B in By. Blsupr (talk) 10:09, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Alumni?
first off, according to the current wiki page an alumnus is "a graduate or former student of a school, college or university" obviously none of these bands went to the school of Fueled by Ramen. Second off some of these bands, at least the pie tasters and less than jake, were from other labels. LTJ for instance has one album off of there, one released in 1995, yet the label wasn't even around. allmusic's entry on this shows it was only re-released on the Fueled by Ramen label in 2002. the pie tasters also had had multiple albums and eps out before FBR, and only one release on the fueled by ramen label. Even Jimmy Eat World had a single ep on that label and Lifetime has none listed. All album information is from all music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.99.167.224 (talk) 03:18, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

i'mnot saying bands like the AKAs Punchline and a few other didn't release and album and go onto something better, however a few of these bands were doing things before the label was even made and perhaps another term would also be more appropriate then a tongue in cheek use of the word alumni. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.99.167.224 (talk) 03:21, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

The Hippos released their debut album on Fueled By Ramen.

That's how it's listed on the Fueled By Ramen website. Blsupr (talk) 13:07, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

twenty one pilots
Can we please stop capitalizing it? The band uses lower case letters for their name. --Edit-- Never mind. They've started capitalizing it normally now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.4.252 (talk) 03:47, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

PoPo Patrol's unrightful boot form the label
WHy yall get rid of the popos? They came for justice and peace, straight from the underground. they were the band yall needed.... but not deserved.

Twenty One Pilots- Active?
It says on the official Fueled By Ramen website that Twenty One Pilots are active. I know there is a reference warning not to move them, but does this other source render that invalid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davman8 (talk • contribs) 16:25, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Edit: Here's more evidence for them being currently active: https://twitter.com/MusicWeek/status/990711658401091584 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davman8 (talk • contribs) 16:32, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
