Ferret Music is an American independent record label turned Warner Music Group subsidiary, founded in 1996. The label is owned by metalcore band NORA's vocalist, Carl Severson, and based in West Windsor, New Jersey. Ferret recently started an imprint called New Weathermen Records. Warner Music Group's Alternative Distribution Alliance acquired a stake in Ferret Music in August, 2006,
and as a result is currently distributed by Fontana Distribution, Alternative Distribution Alliance and eOne Music.
As of September 12, 2007, Ferret partnered with an uprising extreme metal and hardcore punk label out of the UK, Siege of Amida Records (S.O.A.R.). S.O.A.R will retain A&R responsibilities. On February 18, 2010, Carl Severson and his business partner at Ferret and ChannelZERO, Paul Conroy, announced their departure from the company to start Good Fight Entertainment, a management company with music and sports divisions along with a new record label. Ferret's official website was last updated in 2009, adding to speculation that the label is defunct. According to Scott Mellinger, lead guitarist for Zao, Ferret Records sold to Warner Music while Severson went on to start Good Fight.
In July 2026, it was announced that Ferret founder Carl Severson had regained control of the label and would return it to active business, signing acts Bore and Wounded Touch. Severson also announced a 20th anniversary re-issue of Remembering Never's 2006 album God Save Us, which will be pressed on vinyl for the first time. Ferret has since reissued albums by acts such as The Banner, Endeavor, Racetraitor, Old Wounds and Torn Apart (some of which were originally released on Good Fight).
