Thriller Records is an American independent record label that was founded in 2021 by Bob Becker, founder of Fearless Records and Nick Moore, former singer of the band Before Their Eyes and founder of InVogue Records.[1][2] The label initially had a global distribution agreement with ADA Music Worldwide,[3] a subsidiary of Warner Music Group,[4] but would later sign with The Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony Music.

After Fearless Records was acquired by Concord Music Group in 2015, then Chairman Bob Becker decided to form Thriller Records after "missing the excitement and challenge of running a record label on a day-to-day basis"[5] with the objective of "housing a variety of alternative and rock acts".[1]

The label has signed acts such as the Word Alive,[6][7] Rain City Drive,[8] and Honey Revenge.[9]
