kyle Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Who cares what label a band is on... The internet. For example: There is this band called Against Me! that everyone on the internet used to love. Then they signed to a major label and now the internet just talks shit on them.

suburbanargyle Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Although it might not be a bad move considering they are currently touring in a 2008 Impala. I don't know, obviously could see them being on Fat but I don't know about Epitaph. They are my favorite current band though (since the Ergs are no more), so in the end I just wanna hear more of their great songs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkrockjeff Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 they're just talking with them and they have not signed with them according to Ryan's current girlfriend. who is surprisingly my ex girlfriend's good friend. what a small fucking world we live in. well...his current gf went to my birthday party last year! so fuck you two!

sgoodcore Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think OWTH signing to Epitaph would be a good thing. I actually hope it happens because it would mean at least someone at Epitaph was listening to music again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually hope it happens because it would mean at least someone at Epitaph was listening to music again. The problem is they've poisoned the water for a lot of legit punk bands. I know the Swellers talked to Brett about their new album (nothing serious) but they just weren't sure about the sincerity of a label like Epitaph. I can see this being the case for a lot of punk bands that may talk with the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fueled By Ramen was apparently super sincere and incredibly forward with them. They could offer support that Epitaph couldn't (they were FBR's only 2009 signing), also, they said the FBR crew were mostly a bunch of people who listened to 90's Epitaph and Fat. Mr. Brett has spent the better part of the last decade defending bands like Escape the Fate and I set My friends on Fire. Makes it hard to trust them.

mattstrike Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 ^ Wow, those two bands you mentioned Dante are awful. I thought you were joking when you wrote "I Set My Friends…" - thinking, no one would name themselves that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it hard to trust them. yeah, i watched the video after the signing and they all seemed really stoked. fbr has had its round of terrible bands too. i don't really care which label they're on, it just sucks when i want to order the new 7" and it's going to cost me $12 shipped.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
