I'm pretty sure Weezer only sold little records because it's a common opinion that they are shite.
Phahaha, wise words.
Honestly I don't know a thing about record labels but Epitaph seems like the obvious choice but we all know Sum 41 never make take the obvious choice.

Offspring definitely did sell mainstream good while they we're on Epitaph. :P Smash has sold 6x Platinum in the US, today I'd guess it's closer to 7x since the 6th Platinum was certificated in 2000. :P
