Fearless Records

Fearless Records is a US rock/metal-oriented record label based in Westminster, California. Founded in 1992, the label has been a driving force in the music industry for over two decades. With a diverse roster of signed acts spanning various rock and metal genres, Fearless Records has become synonymous with alternative rock, pop punk, post-hardcore, emo, metalcore, and melodic death metal.

Since its inception, Fearless Records has consistently delivered high-quality music that resonates with fans worldwide. The label's commitment to showcasing talented artists across different subgenres of rock and metal has earned them a reputation as an authority in the industry.

With their headquarters located in the heart of California's vibrant music scene, Fearless Records continues to discover and nurture emerging talent while also supporting established acts. Their dedication to providing a platform for artists to express themselves authentically sets them apart from other labels.

Wage War have forged an ironclad hybrid of battering ram grooves, gnashing guitars, and melodic hooks in the heat of those extremes. Following the most trying year in recent memory, the Florida quintet—Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums]—only strengthened their creative bond on their fourth full-length offering, Manic [Fearless Records]. Musically, the band struck a seamless balance between bludgeoning grooves, soaring melodies, electronic fits, and battering ram riffs, straining their past, present, and future into one cohesive statement. Thematically, they confronted everything from personal struggles to trolls and two-faced friends. After amassing nearly 300 million streams and receiving widespread acclaim from Billboard, Loudwire, Alternative Press, and more, the group delivered eleven anthems meant to connect through turbulence.

“Mania is a wild emotion,” observes Cody. “The last year was all severe highs and lows. We had some victories, but we’ve also had so many low points. We’ve built this thing for the last ten years and put all of our chips into it. We’ve missed birthdays and funerals, but we’ve done some extraordinary things. Last year, we found ourselves wondering if it would ever come back. That’s really what the album is about.”
