Streetlight Manifesto Ask Fans To Boycott Victory Records

Streetlight Manifesto have announced in a new blog post they want fans to boycott purchasing any of their music/merchandise via Victory Records.

The band released the following statement:

"For the sake of keeping things emotion-free and legal, we'll cut straight to the chase and forgo the insults and accusations: It is and has been for quite some time our position that Victory Records is an artist-hostile, morally corrupt and generally dishonest company, with whom we have had the displeasure of being associated due to a contract that was signed years ago. We're not writing this today to air grievances, of which there are many; numerous bands' struggles with Victory are well-documented (and many more are sealed by a court of law), so we figured we're going to skip the allegations and try to solve the problem, as we see it.

A Day To Remember Release Statement Regarding Lawsuit Against Victory Records

A Day To Remember will continue to release music for their fans and are looking forward to touring in 2012."

Victory Records Release Statement Regarding A Day To Remember Lawsuit

Victory Records have released a statement regarding the news which spread online last night (December 14th) about A Day To Remember suing the label.

"Recent reports of claims filed by the Victory artist A Day to Remember (ADTR) in litigation presently pending in US District Court in the Northern District of Illinois (a case that was just transferred from Nashville upon Victory’s successful motion based upon improper venue) have misleadingly stated that the principal issue in the case concerns the payment of royalties. The lawsuit, filed shortly after the band hired new management, is really about the band’s refusal to fulfill their 5-album contractual commitment to Victory and their newfound desire to move to a major label. Recycled and often apocryphal stories of misguided and unsuccessful attempts by a few Victory bands to jump ship from the label that put them on the map have one common truthful thread; they always end badly for the band. In those cases, the bands eventually seek reconciliation and often ask to return to the Victory fold after having been disappointed by their post-Victory experiences. Victory is confident that this dispute will be resolved to the satisfaction of both the band and Victory, and that ADTR will continue to deliver great music to Victory in the coming years. Victory continues to honor its commitment to ADTR by placing its significant resources behind the band’s current album, What Separates Me From You, which continues to climb the charts and meet or exceed Victory’s expectations. The band, in the meantime, has enjoyed the benefits of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in record royalties generated from their album sales, which Victory accounts for in full compliance with its contract. Victory’s job remains the same- work hard, sell records and abide by our agreements. "

Album Review: These Hearts - Forever Ended Yesterday

These Hearts look and sound as though Disney have put together their take on a modern pop-punk band. They sing like cartoon characters and scream like evil villains; have good wholesome lyrics about things like self-respect; and are largely inoffensive whilst remaining catchy. This may sound like a bad thing to some, but it has led to the creation of a good, fun record.

Album Review: Blackguard - Firefight

Blackguard’s ‘Firefight’ is metal and as epic as it comes, though contrary to what many people may tell you, this leans closer to power metal than it does folk, or really anything else for that matter. Hell, Viking, folk, power, black, however you look at it, Blackguard’s ‘Firefight’ should be thought of as nothing short of epic.

‘Firefight’ is a thoroughly well-produced effort, one full of a combination of impressive, marathon-like leads, galloping drum work, soaring choruses and furious vocal work, all delivered with furious aplomb, that constitutes Blackguard’s signature sound, though on the whole ‘Firefight’ shows a pretty good amount of Children of Bodom worship, which could be construed as both a good and bad thing, depending on the way you look at it.
