Yeah it’s good news. I didn’t realise the contract with Spitfire expired; I guess it was a 3 album deal.

But great to know that another label has faith in the band, that’s 5 altogether - Wiiija, A&M/Universal, Ark21, Spitfire and the new one.
I’m also glad that they’re taking more time on the writing aspect of the band and cutting down on the whole write/record/tour/write/record/tour mentality of the recent past (this is also in keeping with what Mikehell told me at Download ‘06, so it’s obviously a long-standing, well-thought out plan of theirs), and I welcome it… though I’d still love a one-off Irish show :-)

Happy christmas to T? and to you smelly lot on the WOM!

i’m glad they are taking some time out to get this sorted properly! Like SG5 said, OCFA was a disappointment to me, it seemed half-baked somehow so the new look T? should be great!

It’s very easy to think that record companies have endless magical pots of gold which they choose to selfishly lavish upon the latest golden-egg-laying goose, but the truth of the matter is that the few labels left that actually care about music (i.e. the smaller ones) don’t have a lot of money or clout.

The reason I am saying this is I hope this new label can bring Therapy? back to a level of profile and public awareness that they deserve but please please please no more endless threads about how the record company won’t get behind them and make expensive videos and numerous singes etc etc.

Then i think you’re going to be very disappointed because that ain’t happening.
Sounds like they are doing the right thing, Spitfire haven’t been the greatest label and don’t seem to up date much on their website to let you know what is going on with the artists on the roster. T? still have a lot of clout and respect with there peers and in the industry so with the right backing and a Label that will work close with them and promote them properly then you never know what will happen. Bands that are just fucking shithouse have made come backs over the last few years, and as T? have never gone away and still release quality music then who knows.
Good Luck to them hope it works out :-)

They deserve to be seen in the US. God knows the Yanks need ‘em.

I have the sneaking suspicion it’s Universal!!!

I somewhat doubt it

I hope it’s not starbucks. :->

Seriously, great news, a reason more to look forward to next year.

Roadrunner??
SPV???
A Universal subsidary???

Ooh, the speculation. While the message from T? didn’t give anything away, the tone of the post was optimistic. Hope the deal does the lads justice. The Spitfire albums got decent distribution throughout Europe, but not further afield, hopefully that’s something that’s part of the new deal.

New album next year, Hurrah!!!

Roadrunner would be interesting, but I seriously doubt it. The Universal Subsidiary thing sounds just about right…

i heard very VERY strong rumours that they were signing to demolition records..

home of twisted sister, hanoi rocks, mcqueen, electric eel shock and a fair few more..
not too bad for a label based in jarrow..
:)

hope it’s true..
demolition is for winners!!!

I found it and fuck me do they have some shit bands:

the money is good…:)
BTW; Michael Monroe from Hanoi Rocks had this band named Demolition 23 back in the mid ninties.

@ grant
demolition aren’t like that at all..
the people running it are some of the most genuine people you could meet and are all about getting the bands they’ve signed what those bands deserve..
I know that the vast majority of bands i know and work with would kill to be signed to demolition..
a local label doing great things..
not many labels i can say that about.
