I'm Really Liking This Label So Far

[Rohan Kohli]

Carbon Copy Media (http://www.myspace.com/carboncopymedia), JT of Hawthorne Heights (http://www.hawthorneheights.com)' label, has announced the signing of Appleton, WI's IVORY (http://www.purevolume.com/ivory). Expect another signing tomorrow - it'll probably make your day a little brighter, if you know what I mean. Below is the press release:
Carbon Copy Media would like to welcome IVORY to their roster. IVORY's sound falls somewhere between heavy hitters like Coldplay and U2, but still has the honesty of Copeland and Death Cab For Cutie. This band has big goals and bigger melodies. Be on the lookout for their CCM debut in the fall. Did I mention that Ivory has a piano?

[Ryan Imhof]

does this feed into victory?

I always wonder how long all the new labels and clothing companies will last.

[xtbs7645x]

so far i havent been impressed by any of the bands, nothing special.

[Roboman]

The way Hawthorne Heights seems to be viewed by some, perhaps "Carbon Copy Media" wasn't the greatest name for a label started by JT.

Irony, dude. look it up.



Rohan, is it Brightwood? I'm really liking them.

[resUrectMe617]

You two are just gonna have to wait until tomorrow to find out ;)

Ooh, the suspense!

[Ryan Imhof]

i heard its adrastos

hahah joking. but i think if it actually was i would shit myself.

[B4theblackout]

If it is brighten i think this label is starting out really good...ivory is pretty good, and better then alot of recent label signings along with brighten

[alfonso]

It's Brighten, Ill bet anyone $100 dollars, no, Ill bet you $1,000 dollars that it is Brighten (as opposed to Brightwood).

Anyone up for a bet?

[catchmealone]

It's Bright Eyes, duh

[TheGoodnightMoon]

I'm pretty sure it's Brightwood. So far, this guy's label is pretty damn solid.

[alfonso]

My offer still stands. $1,000 says its Brighten. :)

Ivory is amazing by the way...these guys are going to do HUGE things.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Dude I live like an hour away from appleton.

[Darren McLeod]

Picking up Ivory was a smart move. Very talented guys.

There is no way in hell it's Brighten.

And this label isn't all that great. Like, that Asteria band. Shitty.

[BeerNSluts]

It's not Brightwood.

[bluecrunchy]

holy crap, this is amazing. i just interviewed them a week ago, and they wouldn't tell me where they signed to. i think this will be huge for them.

[ThatGuy]

Ivory are good dudes

[alfonso]

There is no way in hell it's Brighten.

And this label isn't all that great. Like, that Asteria band. Shitty.

You owe me money *****!

[yutsmcgee]

You owe me money *****!

I never took your bet. I'm just sayin', ain't no way in Hell. Brighten is too damn good.

[leocorrea]

congratsss to them. Ivory is a great band I think.
their song "Don't Go" is faaaantastic

[yutsmcgee]

Damn, they sound alot like Number One Fan. Makes sense since they're from the same town. Good stuff.

[alfonso]

yeah, I guess theyre pretty good buds with the dudes from Number One Fan/ The Robins...and it looks like they are playing with them pretty soon here....

[satanisanerd]

There are a lot of bands with pianos lately. It's becoming quite a cliche.

[xvalorous]

It's Bright Eyes, duh
i lol-ed.

[Roboman]

Irony, dude. look it up.

I know what irony is, thank you very much. But honestly, it's not like this dude JT realizes the irony of it; that's what I was saying.

There are a lot of bands with guitars lately. It's becoming quite a cliche.

[alexasunshine]

Ivory is amazing, they always have been.
Now they're just gonna get great exposure.
But I don't hear the U2 & Coldplay thing.
They sound like Number One Fan & I guess Copeland.

[Dan Avery]

Okay. Personally, I wouldn't sign with a label that was owned by someone who was currently in an up and coming band. Right now, Hawthorne Heights is going to be this guy's main priority, not his label, and in turn, not the bands on his label. Unless the guys at Victory are going to be running the show for Carbon Copy...then I guess these bands might be in okay hands. I mean, this IVORY band is good enough that I think they could get picked up by someone else. Maybe a label with a little more experience. Umm, the only exceptions, I'd say, are labels like Nitro or Fueled By Ramen (and/or similar labels). In their case, the respective owners are pretty much set as far as their music careers go, and income. Both The Offspring and Less Than Jake have probably done enough both musically and financially that they're comfortable taking on new projects, and they can devote the neccessary time to them. Just my opinion I guess.

JT's not the only one running the label...

[Colin Farrell]

wisconsin sucks...worst state ever

[aimless endeavo]

i think tooth and nail is all over brightwood. maybe not though. regardless, i know the answer to this one.

[andtheyslept]

sweet tunes

[kazuma_ootaro28]

One of the better Carbon Copy Media signings. So did Cassino or Vaux get signed yet?

[PunkNews.Org]

you know your band sucks when you get signed by jt woodruff

[bikescene]

it's bow wow

[backtothesound]

Ivory's a great band, simply put. their ep is pretty incredible, especially since the guys are on 18-21 in age.

[updownleftright]

i think its okay to ask if anyone could send me some more of their music other than whats on the ep. since they dont have anything on their sites.

[HungJury]

Brighten is the winner! JT knows what he's doing.

[DookieOnU]

Just talked to my bud Tommy from Ivory and indeed it is Brighten, and it says so on their myspace too.
Pretty stoked for this label....not gonna lie

[yutsmcgee]

I don't know what the fuck Brighten is thinking. Not smart.
