Burning Heart folded in 2010 and Peter Ahlqvist kept working at Panic & Action, which he founded together with Kid Down vocalist Eric Höjdén. In 2014 Peter succeeded to come with an agreement with Epitaph over the rights to the name and logo of Burning Heart and reactivated the label. Panic & Action also announced its closure and all signed artists was transferred over to Burning Heart.
Burning Heart has proven very successful in launching European (especially Swedish) bands to a global audience. Their successes have included The Hives, Turbonegro, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Millencolin, No Fun at All and Refused. The label focuses on punk music,[3] but has also released rock, ska, noise and hip hop records.[4]
