    Sounds like an opportunity to press 40k 7"s to sell at $15 a pop.

    The sad truth is we're never getting that band back. That band ended when Jerry Finn died. He was essentially a fourth member during their golden age.
     
    And as probably one of the more cynical assholes on here, yeah Edging sucks. It would be like using "Built This Pool" as the first single of California. But these two are pretty good. You're never going to feel the same magic their late 90s/early 00s music gave to you when you were a teenager, you've grown as have they.

    technically yes and no. If the songwriters signed a publishing deal with a publisher, they could have assigned a percentage of those rights. really depends on the specifics of their deal. the underlying rights for a composition are also split 50% Writers Shares and 50% publishing. Even if a song writers deal includes 50% of the publishing rights, they really are only signing away 25% of every dollar that comes in on the pub side. Rights can also revert depending on the specifics of the deal. 
     
    For the master rights (ie recording), it depends on the deal with the label, but usually the label will own the rights and after so many years (by law) the artist can re-record, which you are seeing with a lot of older artists. This too also depends on the deal signed.
     
    Record and publishing deals are become more and more favorable to the artists due to the access and ability to record/release music independently. However, having the backing of label/publisher can really help your career as they will typically spend money on marketing, since its an investment.  For every 10 artists that are signed to a big label, typically on 1-2 really see profit for the labels/publishers. 
     
    Unfortunately a lot of bands from the 90s/2000s only saw $$ when signing their deals and signed away their rights. Shady from the labels, but that's why its important to have a entertainment/contracts lawyer and not your best friend from high school managing/advising you.

    not the publishing rights. those aren't owned/controlled by the label. the master rights are locked up as they don't want license those out. publishing is underlying composition, so they are able to re-record and release under a simple mechanical license obtained through HFA.

    yes, and I also know this is not healthy especially when everything is being pressed/repressed somewhere down the line, why is the rush? Why does people need everything instantly and can't bear with pressing delays at plants, etc? I know it's just a vinyl message board but this general attitude with society is soo fucked. sorry for the rant.

    I’m fine with his vocals on this album.  It’s the generic af radio pop beats at about all the same tempo.  Their whole “tribal groove” thing is what I love about them.  This is just dull.  And to have waited what, 6 years for this one?

    famousdrumer reacted to meatrocket8 in PO NOW: The Dangerous Summer - Mother Nature   
    Our producer and great friend @pjleavitt (Reach for the Sun, War Paint, Golden Record, and much more) came out to The Mother Nature Tour at The Metro Gallery in Baltimore last year to record our set. He ran a board recording, and later mixed and mastered it for us. We decided to keep this raw and unedited, without any overdubs; just The Dangerous Summer in a tiny sweaty Baltimore venue screaming alongside their best friends. We have been debating on the best way to release this special piece of music, and finally decided to release it on tdsmerch.com (link in bio) on August 14th (you can preorder now), with the money going to a cause that is extremely close to Paul Leavitt. Paul and his wife Cody had a son Casey pass away of SIDS 5 days before his first birthday (July 10th would have been his 8th birthday). Through Paul, we have learned that The Center for Infant and Child Loss has recently lost all of their federal funding and are now solely relying on fundraisers to keep them afloat. This is a very important resource for families like the Leavitts who are grieving the unbelievable loss of a child. In Casey's memory we will be donating all proceeds to the CICL. Please help us spread the word, and visit https://www.infantandchildloss.org to give more. - This will also hit streaming platforms on August 14th via @hopelessrecords , and they will be donating proceeds from this release for the first 3 months.

    Look, I get it. At earlier points in my life, especially when I was a broke teen, paying for entertainment was annoying and, at the time in my opinion, not fair. Yet as I’ve grown up, and even more so as a musician myself, although in no way professional or for monetary gain, I now appreciate that this is their livelihood. This is their job. Would I be angry if my employer walked in and said: “Hey that analysis report that you’ve been working on for the last few months, staying up late to finish, yea we’re not gonna pay you for that time. Because, well jus because we don’t think you should be charging us.” Ha!
     
    Do you see my point? Entertainers are not here FOR us, they’re here SHARING WITH US their gifts. Helping us emotionally when needed. And for that, I find it completely ethical and within their creative rights to charge me for every sliver of their craft. If I don’t want it, then I can go listen to someone else. 
     
    Just my two cents...

    300-ish copies of the split were sold. 100 of the yellow are available. That's only 1/3 of the customers. But also - they all already own a copy of this, so giving specifically 1/3 of the 300 orders a chance to re-buy a second copy privately seems unreasonable as hell lol.
     
    *Coming from someone who bought the split thinking it was /100 but not up in arms about it

    Nobody cares. They are pointing out that the band is disgraced, not that you're disgraced for listening.
     
    I will say however, the first album is just pure cringe and I'll judge you for listening to that if your over the age of 18. Probably the reason Jesse had so many kiddy diddle opportunities because it's so relatable for teens.
