View Full Version : From Epitaph To Another Label?

From HitsDailyDouble (http://www.hitsdailydouble.com): The heat continues for the Scott Bradford-repped/Tim Smith-managed From First to Last (http://www.fromfirsttolast.com). The band’s current LP on Epitaph has sold over 100k. Their second record is already done but has not been released. As label heads go ga-ga over the group, the band is reportedly in discussions with their suitors to do a nontraditional record deal (think Korn/EMI). Yes, there’s a buyout to Epitaph involved for the band’s third album, but apparently it’s a low-figure exit—the band negotiated a reasonable exit clause when they signed with the indie. With a multiple revenue-sharing scenario being proposed, this is a potential win-win situation for the act and the signing label, but expect the price to be handsome. We hear the band is not in a rush to do a deal and will only play if it makes sense. We’ll keep you posted…

i hold everyone's opinion about music equally, but if you like this band, i lose a little respect for you, unless you're 12, then i understand

So does Epitaph make a good share off of this as well. I know Victory did quite well when Warner signed TBS.

totally agree. from first to last are a fucking joke no matter what way you look at it. 16 year olds in a band singing about salt shakers. sweet. love the hair too.

Haha you are aware the salt shakers was a joke in the hidden song. The lyric was in a rap song.

calling the kid a mean name for gay people makes me automatically think you are a closet gay.

I'm sure you like your share of bands who others would think are childish.

Do the world a favor and shut the fuck up.

Funny story...I saw them a year or two ago and the singer was sick, so he didn't sing. One of the guitar players did. They were ok. Nothing wonderful, but decent. Didn't listen to them and saw them a few months later with the singer. Boy, does he suck. He made decent music nearly the worst thing i've ever heard.

They're not post-hardcore. They're second rate generic screamo. You want some post-hardcore? Check out anything on deep elm records.

reveriecowboy it appears to me your a cowboy who rides cocks for a living. Your probably a little nancy boy ***got who who thinks listening to hardcore makes you tough. consider head butting a wall and never speaking what you feel again unless its appropriate.

i mean, im not very fond of the band, aside from their amazing drummer, but how did they rip off MCR when they were dressing they way they are now back when Gerard was still sporting the greasy hair and the leather jacket? come on recently turned scenester, check your records as well as yourself

You're a moron and a hypocrite.
One - your statement goes blank and holds no value when you lower yourself to call someone (anyone), that name.
No matter how much you don't like the person.

Second - you're a hypocrite. How can you hold everyone's opinion about music equally but then lose respect for anyone that like that band?
That doesn't make any sense, you contradicted yourself.

Get a clue.

It's already been stated by others, but these two bands are NOTHING alike.
Not musicially and barely even style/dress. The eye makeup isn't even the same style.

One - if you actually paid attention to the reference you made, they weren't singing about salt shakers. That was the end track to the cd, and just a joke type thing. Not to be serious.

Second - what the fuck did you do at 16?
You may not like or agree with what he's doing, but shit the kids making money.
So at least he look at you and laugh when he gets his fat paycheck.

well honestly i keep saying this

but the new fftl cd will be a new fftl for you guys pretty much

dear diary wasnt actually 100% fftl, the music and the lyrics are almost halfway a joke.

the whole cd was a satarical view on the music scene at the time...but heroine is straight up 100% fftl

and i guarentee it will blow all of you away.

First of all, get a new haircut...you look like you should be in the Backstreet Boys. Secondly, stop being such a fuck. You call yourself a "Catholic" and you live up to the reputation of one my throwing around words like "***got".

Grow up.

you are almost as moronic as the other kid.
don't assume shit about people you don't know, except off an internet message board.

it's not about being PC, because i'll admit - i'm far from that
but using that word to talk shit on someone is a fcking stupid thing to do.
It shows a HUGE lack of maturity, and again. i'm not the most mature person in the world
but there are lines and bounderies to everything.

I think they write really catchy songs and melodies, but as musicians they cant pull them off live well, with the exception of thier drummer... who is amazing. Also, thier singer desperately needs to take a shower because he is probably the dirtiest/smelly person I have ever met.
