Trail Of Dead launch their own label
Posted:
Texan noisemongers - noisemongers? - ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are to launch their own record label, Richter Scale, in association with Universal's Justice Records.
The first album on Richter Scale should be the band's own new record, scheduled for a January release. The partnership sees the band stay friendly with Universal - they were previously signed to Interscope, part of the group.
As for the new album, the band have said they're "creating a more anthemic record" than what's come before. Find a video diary on developments here.

Anthemic?
I wonder what this means... I hope it doesn't mean it sounds a bit like them trying to be the Beatles again..
-
they played a new one
at atp, seemed ok and not at all liek the so divided album
-
if they don't make a good new album
i'll probably cry.
-
january...
maaaaaaaaaaaaan...
-
Their website
IS LIKE A CGI ROLE PLAYING GAME WIZARD DORK NIGHTMARE
-
These guys
rawked the whole three hundred fans they have in the UK at ATP last month.
-
Richter scale?
Back to their roots then...
Their website and album covers are fairly horrible in a 'must roll 13 or higher on my twenty sided dice' stylee...
-
I don't have high hopes
despite them playing well at ATP.

Launch their own label?
Does that mean they're gonna give up being in this dull band and get like 9-5 jobs? Sorting out MCPS statements and chasing label copy and Metadata for digital singles? Approving TPs and placing ads in Plan B and Artrocker? Or is this, like most bands 'labels' some kind of dull sham for for a few half baked crap bands that they've met on tour/and or are mates that'll fizzle out when they get their first annual P&L balance sheet? Call me a cynic...(you're a cynic).
-
Fingers crossed
they go back to being noisemongers, eh.
-
Fair enough
to them. I remember reading that statement they put out about how shit their label was regarding their last album, nice to see they're doing something about it.
-
they should have
gone back to Merge, they would have handled them so much better than pussycat doll fucking interscope bloke.
And cynic you are! Think they nearly all have jobs outside of the band, jason owns austin's Beauty Bar (alcohol, not nailpainting) for starters
-
naaa,
their album covers are great.
-
Yes. I'm a pedant.
UMG just distribute Justice, they're not a subsidiary per se. That's as far as the affiliation goes.
