Ark 21 Records is not going to be around for long?

It’s already a month old, but for those of you who haven’t read it yet: Jack Endino, the producer of Shameless, talks about Therapy? on his site and has some interesting info on Ark 21:

‘And speaking of therapy, available soon on Ark 21 Records is the new Therapy? record I worked on last spring, ‘Shameless’, a totally great record too. Pity that Ark 21 still hasn’t paid the mastering studio who mastered it in March (they just called me, the ‘producer,’ looking for more label contact info cuz they can’t even get a call returned). Wonder how they’ll pay for pressing it?

With payment practices like these, I’m prepared for this label to fold at any time, which would be unfortunate for Therapy? and their fans. Did I mention how long it took them to pay the studio where we mixed? I just hope they last until AFTER this record is out. People gotta hear it. Oh yeah, one of the extra songs we did (‘Denim Demon’) is on the new Turbonegro tribute album. I even play some guitar on it, not that Therapy? need my help really, but they asked me.’

funny that the ark21 site for therapy? is all revamped with soundclips and everything if this is true… and that therapy? know all the release dates for the album around most of the world…

maybe we should email the boys and ask them about this rumour…

This was in Jack’s latest newsletter, which is probably about Ark 21 as well:

‘Just got a call from the mastering facility in LA that mastered a record for me back in early March. The record label, who shall remain nameless, had still not paid them and is not returning their phone calls. The studio here where we mixed the record in February just got paid last month. This tells me three things: 1) it will be a miracle if this record does well - how are they going to pay to promote it? 2) even if it sells I will probably never see any royalties, and 3) with cash flow and/or payment policies like this, it would not surprise me if the label is out of business within six months. I sure hope I’m wrong.’
