Music / Profil d'un chef d'entreprise
English term or phrase: He co-launched the only hard music label to have...
Description d'un profil de chef d'entreprise à qui l'on doit aussi le lancement de cette maison de disques.

Comment traduire "hard music"? J'imagine que l'on ne parle pas nécessairement de musique rock ou "heavy métal".

il est co-fondateur du seul label de musique (punk) hardcore
Explanation:
"Distort Entertainment

Distort Entertainment is a Canadian independent record label based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada[1]. The label specializes in hardcore punk bands such as Alexisonfire and Cancer Bats and metal bands such as Johnny Truant, but also represents lighter music with its sister division (Distort Light) such as Bend Sinister."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distort_Entertainment

"Le punk hardcore, souvent simplifié en hardcore1, est un sous-genre du punk rock apparu en Amérique du Nord à la fin des années 1970. Il est considéré comme la première vague d'artistes de punks radicalisés et engagés, devenant plus underground ou inconditionnels, accélérant les tempos et raccourcissant les morceaux, notamment en réaction à la commercialisation de certains artistes punk. Le son est plus lourd et les mélodies plus rapides que le style de punk rock des années 1970. Il est caractérisé par des chansons courtes, souvent empruntes d'un message fort."
