What record label are Tear Down signed to?

Tear Downs record label:

Tear Down are sign to DGC  and Sub Pop record company. We have chosen these record labels since they have signed a lot of high end acts however, Sub Pop have gained the highest rating and success level with big bands such as Sound Garden and Nirvana, which happen to be bands that are very close and relative to the music which we are doing.

We have chosen these two record labels since they are the closest and most relevant but believe they would fit our artists since they have the Grunge and alternative feel to them, with minimal success but higher fame in more unconventional and less known artists.
