History
The label was founded in 1998 by former Cacophonous Records manager Julie Weir with the aim of promoting new British rock music and bringing it into the zeitgeist.[2] According to Weir, at the time, "everyone was paying way too much attention to American bands."[3]
Visible Noise is known for bringing well-known British rock bands like Bring Me the Horizon, Bullet for My Valentine, and the now-defunct Lostprophets into the mainstream.[4]
As of 2023, all signs indicate that the label has been inactive since 2017 (the official website and Facebook page are offline, there are no updates on Youtube, and there are no new releases).
