chamb117 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 love how he can't simply accept responsibility for his lack of efficacy and blamed "server issues" for his poor communication. it's a fucking email, for crying out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWasteOfATime Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I hope more than anything that if Balance & Composure put out new music, it isn't through No Sleep. What a mess this label has become, I swear. It will not. The last two releases they had left in 2016 were Somos and Moose Blood and they shipped both of them to Hopeless.

dantheriver Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It will not. The last two releases they had left in 2016 were Somos and Moose Blood and they shipped both of them to Hopeless. Haven't seen anything regarding Moose Blood signing to Hopeless. I'm glad I got a refund for the 2016 sub I ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I regret passing on the last couple sales because even the old shitty releases are $16 on merchnow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dethrock Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Not Wonder Years related, but I saw on eBay that Chris has a bunch of stuff for sale and in the descriptions it mentions that he moved into a smaller place and doesn't have room for 80-90% of his record collection. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. does he have a personal account? something like "ilovepugs"? FYI (everyone), the nosleeprecords ebay account has been deactivated. as if we didn't already have reasons to believe the label was all but kaput.

museummouth Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I wonder where it started going all wrong I think it just built up on disrespecting people. Bands, fans, customers. He used to get in fights with people on twitter, and tell his followers to gang up on someone just asking why their order was taking months to ship.

uglyorgan Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Here comes my completely uninformed super best guess as to what happened with No Sleep Records. I wonder if Hopeless Records* invested in No Sleep. It was this time last year that I started noticing the pattern of an EP/7" preceding an album release. This is something MCA made Drive-Thru do. The sales of the EP/7" determined how much money MCA was willing to spend on the album release. Meanwhile Drive-Thru was on the hook for the cost of the EP. So Hopeless gives Chris a big advance. Meanwhile dude starts having a house built in Southern California. It's not cheap to rent an apartment let alone have a home built from scratch in Southern California. He also buys a brand new Range Rover. Meanwhile, his gambles on Somos, Run Forever, Ghost Key, etc are not paying off. These records were definitely not selling at the level of La Dispute, Moose Blood, or even Drug Church. Now honestly I have no clue as to what happens after this. Hopeless stops funding future releases and Chris spent the advance? Now there's nothing left to run the label as expected? I wish the dude best of luck and hopefully the catalog can fund some future releases. It also must be a bummer that this happened on the 10th anniversary of the label. But they definitely seem done. *Or anyone or anything but it is curious that all the bands are shifting to Hopeless post No Sleep.

chamb117 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 it is curious that all the bands are shifting to Hopeless post No Sleep. i think the wonder years is the common denominator, but also: both labels are based out of southern california Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 i gotcha =\ such a bummer that no sleep has come to this. i was in college in philly right when b&c were signed and it was so cool for a local-ish band to get the recognition of a label that they deserved so much. i hope they find a good home for their next lp.
