Suretone Records[1] is an American record label established in 2006 as a joint venture by Jordan Schur, former CEO of Geffen Records,[2] and Interscope Records,[3] to release alternative rock music.[4][5] Several high-profile bands such as Weezer, The Cure, Rooney, New Found Glory and Angels and Airwaves remained on Geffen and carried the Suretone imprint.[4][6]
The label shut down in 2010 after the failures of albums by Chris Cornell and Shwayze. In 2016, the Suretone label returned with distribution through the Alternative Distribution Alliance.
