Reader Reports In From Take Action Tour

[Jon Foucart]

The Early November (http://www.theearlynovember.net) said they just got word that their album isn't coming out "for a very long time" and that they are all very sad; if it must come to it, they'll leak it themselves.

[Jon Foucart]

sorry to who submitted this, i accidently cut it out of the post...let me know

[loveisaweapon]

that's weird....i wonder what happened.

[andrewlterry]

WTF WTF WTF. Worst news ever.

[Jonas900]

well, at least we can look forward to the new singer/songwriter label from Drive Thru, i'm sure that will be just as good as this

[Sureshot182]

SAD. drive thur has problems? A BIT.

[Basketcase]

WTF?!?!?!?! stupid Drive Thru!!!! at least the guys are awesome enough to leak the album just in case. but still, this is total BULLSHIT!!!!

[Frank Giaramita]

Honestly, there's no reason why anyone shoud be surprised by this news...

[noodledancer]

:'(

[thebestkylever]

fuck.

[Jon Foucart]

Honestly, there's no reason why anyone shoud be surprised by this news...
yep,
same goes for Hellogoodbye..dont expect that soon as well.

[irthesteve]

argh, i really wish drive thru would just find some more money or something... they will get out of whatever money problems they are in if they just release this album

[Broken4EverMore]

This is bullshit... I've been looking forward to this album FOREVER.... not that I'm suprised or anything... still pissed though :(

[KnoWs My NaMe]

anybody by chance, got a webrip of the new forgive durden song?

oh, and im not surprised

[nivek87]

who would of thought (sarcasm)

drive thru really needs to get their act together...still

[Greg]

hahahahaha i knew this a month ago

sucks that it is double confirmed now for me though.

EDIT:im sure some people knew even longer ago than me. im just saying i heard about it a month ago or so. im trying not to sound like a know it all.

[mirencor]

Well, it's suppose to come out March/Spring. So a leak is better than no TEN. Looking very forward to the leak.

[neo506]

Hell, I don't care. It needs to come out. I wish AP could leak this (with free downloads) or something, but I'm sure there are legal issues and whatnot.

If it comes to it, I'll mail the band however much it was gonna be sold for. I wanna hear it bad.

[poppunkJMUchick]

didnt drive thru send out some message about how they were having problems with thier distributor or whatever. that they were leaving the old one and looking towards a new one. i didnt even think about how it could affect TEN. jeez

[djUbilla]

Honestly, there's no reason why anyone shoud be surprised by this news...Oh, Frank. Always the voice of reason.

Though, the news is grim, your words are strangely soothing.

Hold me.

[Greg]

DTR has slowly been dying for the past 2 years.....

things like this should no longer surprise people. but it still sucks.

[poppunkJMUchick]

DTR has slowly been dying for the past 2 years.....

things like this should no longer surprise people. but it still sucks.


yeah im not so much surprised as saddened for them. it really sucks. they sooo dont deserve this. and as long as we have waited for thier album and the hellogoodbye.. WE DONT DESEREVE IT EITHER. crap on a stick :(

[littlejohn]

they should just leak one disc now and save the other two, or release one new song every week or two weeks that should hold us over

[btbam > you]

Honestly, there's no reason why anyone shoud be surprised by this news...

seriously

[AbsentTruth]

What The Hell

[Drew Beringer]

Man, to think I thought DTR would bounce back this year from a very mediocre 2005. This label is only a shadow of what it use to be.

[Greg]

i heard a really juciy rumor along with this a month ago. since this turned out true i wonder if the other might be as well.

damn i wish madison bleek was still around haha

[waitingtoderail]

looks like two of my most anticipated of the year (ten and hgb) might not make it out this year. i really wish dtr would at least release a statement about this. they're not even bothering to make up excuses.

[8:17am]

i heard a really juciy rumor along with this a month ago. since this turned out true i wonder if the other might be as well.

damn i wish madison bleek was still around haha

I must know what you know...

I'm really pissed about this, I've been looking forward to new music from them since The Room's Too Cold was released, I'm a huge fan. I hope everything ends up working out well for TEN and Drive-Thru, but I'll admit, I'm hoping they leak it, because this is just ridiculous.

[romantic rights]

drive through is starting to die.

[thesego211]

i'm pretty sure there are legal consequences if they decide to leak this themselves. but DTR sucks, we all know it. i dont like this band, but a lot of people do, and it is messed up to do this to them.

[djnicca]

i heard a really juciy rumor along with this a month ago. since this turned out true i wonder if the other might be as well.

damn i wish madison bleek was still around haha

i don't understand why you just wouldn't say what you heard. i know for one as a fan who has spent a lot of money on DTR i would like to know what the fuck is going on. i don't think you saying something that hasn't been confirmed is going to stir up any problems.

and please don't think i'm being a jerk to you, this is not the case.

[marques]

seriously what the hell is the deal.

Release this cd so they can get on to another label that can adequately push and actually release their cd.

[Cal Smith]

Once the album does come out DTR should expect a delay in me purchasing their albums from now on............a long delay

[dan.is.empire]

eff drive-thru.

this sound familiar to anyone???



......senses fail.......

[8:17am]

eff drive-thru.

this sound familiar to anyone???



......senses fail.......

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Drive-Thru has some problem with New Jersey, both bands are from Jersey...both bands had delays in their records coming out...probably has nothing to do with it, I'm just saying, odd coincidence.

[7HD]

drive through is starting to die.


more like gasping for air

[8:17am]

more like gasping for air
More like regretting the fact that they signed up to be organ donors.

Really no point to that...

[chcougar1]

DTR needs to be burnt to the ground..this is the biggest lop of crap Ive ever heard...this cd has been done for how long?

Im not even that HUGE of a TEN fan but this is absolute bull$shit....this would probably be one of their best selling cds ever (DTR) SCREW THEM

[SePaMc]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Drive-Thru has some problem with New Jersey, both bands are from Jersey...both bands had delays in their records coming out...probably has nothing to do with it, I'm just saying, odd coincidence.

halifax and hellogoodbye aren't from jersey.

[verybarrywhyte]

halifax and hellogoodbye aren't from jersey.
he wasn't talking about either of those bands.

[TgE ARTdamage]

mmmm.

label change on the horizon. :)

[LPMagic]

I understand release date push backs and I understand that this is a business first for these (expletive held back) labels. But I'm sick of The Early November push back. I know it's not the band fault and I know that they feel bad about this, I mean it hurts everyone's pockets, but I'm just being selfish and frustrated. Fucking shitty news.

- Jeff

[TheVolume]

Drive Thru should just already come out and tell everyone they're bankrupt. the whole distro thing is such a sour excuse. they couldn't afford the distro, therefore they lost it.

Richard is a great guy don't get me wrong, i just wish he would've made some better choices in signing bands.

Hopefully TEN will get bought out by a label who can give them the type of support they need.

[bste_lax]

This just in....DTR signs three more bands........that they can't release music from......

[LPMagic]

This just in....DTR signs three more bands........that they can't release music from......
They delayed Hellogoodbye too, right? Just checking, I wouldn't wanna miss another one of those newsflashes.

[swizzle]

This fucking blows!!!!!!!!!!!

madison bleek rocked

The Starting Line and New Found Glory could be delayed too....need to check with my sources. ;)

[Greg]

madison bleek rocked
oh yea haha

[8:17am]

oh yea haha
I'd still like to know about the rumor. If you actually heard one.

Not meant to be disrespectful, hope you don't get offended.

[Greg]

I'd still like to know about the rumor. If you actually heard one.

Not meant to be disrespectful, hope you don't get offended.
i wasnt offended

i just honestly dont know how true it is or what. i dont want to start shit if its nowhere near true. it has to do with this label and some bands on it. thats all im willing to say right now.

[xearlynovemberx]

i am so pissed beyond belief with this fucking bullshit what the fuck now 3 of my most anticipate prob wont even be out till next year fuck u dirve thrue records fuck u fuck u fuck u ufuck u

[Greg]

Good enough I guess. I've heard things about bands trying to leave the label, things like that. I just hope that Drive-Thru, if they really are in as bad a financial state as is rumored, would do the right thing and let some of these bands out of their deals.

I know if I ran a label and couldn't afford to be putting out records that bands poured their hearts into, and couldn't provide any support for the band, I'd be letting them walk.

Worst case scenario, they open up some negotiations with other labels and see if any of them are willing to buyout some contracts. That way, the bands get to put out their records, the label can raise a little capital, and another label will be better off business wise.

I'm not sure if any of that would be legal, but I would assume so, if a certain band found a better situation with a different label, and all the parties could some to some sort of a mutual agreement, I don't see why one label couldn't buyout a band's deal with a different label, if the band approved of the deal, of course.

thats prob the best thing they can do try and have labels buy the most marketable bands such as the early nov hellogoodbye and a few others(hipv halifax)

Yeah. DTR should hire me as an economic advisor or something. Obviously they wouldn't be able to pay me, put that shit would look good on college applications.

I love DTR, they were my favorite label up until these delays started. I've been worn thin, as have many fans.

and i can assist you, right?

[8:17am]

Word.

[xearlynovemberx]

Word.

sweet

[8:17am]

sweet

Yeah, it'll be a good time. I'm pretty sure we could pick up a ton of girls with the old "Yeah, I work for a record label," line. That is, until they realize we're working for free.

[xearlynovemberx]

Yeah, it'll be a good time. I'm pretty sure we could pick up a ton of girls with the old "Yeah, I work for a record label," line. That is, until they realize we're working for free.

itll be good while it last tho

So you basically are working on a glorified street team?

[8:17am]

So you basically are working on a glorified street team?

Kinda. We'd be doing it to liberate the bands.

I think I've finally found the motivation to remove that old DTR sticker from my car.

It's funny, because it seems like their current "economic advisor" also hasn't been to college yet.

[IceTech]

this is depressing

[Pooavenger]

yep,
same goes for Hellogoodbye..dont expect that soon as well.

yep. Last I heard was they were having trouble focusing on writing/recording songs. no worries though. TEN 3-disc album is very ambitious so of course something of that scale would be delayed.

[xearlynovemberx]

this really is the worst news ive ever ever heard

[lftcoastenvy05]

the triple disc is completed and just sitting there ready to be released, am i right? this is rediculous. i mean seriously, whats holding the cd(s) back a while, all drive thru is doing is postponing their revenue on the cd... makes no sense to me. drive thru has been dissappointing me lately with the delays on TEN and halifax.

[Speyside]

I always kinda had a bad feeling about this CD. Hopefully, the feeling was directed at a highly delayed release date and not the chance that it will end up extremely underwhelming.

you can take ten and halifax out of ur most anticipated for the year

[Nolessthanblink]

When I last talked to Serj when they came to Oklahoma on Nov. 13, this shit was being released in feb, then march, and now supposedly never. I dunno if I buy that or not though, cause they just released that digital ep that's supposed to "hold us over just for a little while longer". But I swear to God, if DTR keeps this shit up when it comes time to release Hidden In Plain View... oh goodness... to do that to TEN AND HIPV... that'd be the day I finally say "Fuck you Drive Thru, I'm out..." Until then, I still give them the benefit of the doubt... maybe. JUST RELEASE THIS FUCKING ALBUM ALREADY!

imagine this was just 1 big joke and the early nov never said that? but i highly doubt it since it is drive thru we are talking about here

[specialeds281]

So I decided all the good bands left on DTR, (HIPV, TEN, IATA) need to go to Vagrant like SF and DC did yeaaaars ago. haha.

[Pat Marquez]

Drive Thru has no Distro... I thought this was made clear to everyone? Without Distro you can't buy DTR's CD's... They aren't going to release anything until they get Distro. So, don't expect ANY CD's from them until they have what they need.

[8:17am]

So I decided all the good bands left on DTR, (HIPV, TEN, IATA) need to go to Vagrant like SF and DC did yeaaaars ago. haha.

Agreed, I'm really liking Vagrant right now, with the New Amsterdams album coming out on the 21st, and Saves the Day in April...looking damn good...

I thought Drive Thru had signed a deal with sanctuary?

[vin_007]

there trying to get out of it coz sanctuary suck balls

[swizzle]

there trying to get out of it coz sanctuary suck balls
figure's

[Mitch]

FUCK

:(

[harryCane]

So I decided all the good bands left on DTR, (HIPV, TEN, IATA) need to go to Vagrant like SF and DC did yeaaaars ago. haha.even though I kinda agree, that was totally different. DC never was signed to DTR, they only bought the rights for his first album from Fiddler Records. SF was sold to Vagrant by Geffen who stole them from DTR.

Drive Thru has no Distro... I thought this was made clear to everyone? Without Distro you can't buy DTR's CD's... They aren't going to release anything until they get Distro. So, don't expect ANY CD's from them until they have what they need.come on... they released so many CDs without distro just on their homepage after they left Geffen and rereleased them with Sanctuary (Hellogoodbye EP, Early November Acoustic EP, Home Grown EP).

[Gleebo]

If you told me the shambles of record label DTR would become these days 5 years ago I would have laughed my ass off. So many up and coming artists with great potential that they gradually let slip through their fingers one by one faster than they could replace them with a new one. I think they invested too much time and money pimping New Found Glory really well and kind of kicked the other ones to the curb. SoCo, Starting Line, and Fenix TX should have been household names around or shortly after NFG did so. Those 3 bands especially were "gimme's" to break through, yet somehow they never did reach the audience they should have.

Makes me wonder if Fueled By Ramen is taking notes on what formula not to use to operate a seemingly overnight jumpstart of a label that looks like its gonna steamroll its peers into a fine powder of broken jewel cases.

[yanks2np]

This is really sad. I know there are tons of distros that would just love to have Drive-Thru records aboard. I wonder if they have tried RevHq/RevDistribution. They are Equal Visions, Ferret, and a couple other of notable label's distro and they have seemed to do a great job (I am one of their retail clients). So Drive-Thru, look at this post and try to go with them.

And I thought it was weird that there really wasn't a set release date, so you could pretty much see this coming.

[dillinisgood]

Drive Thru is the biggest piece of shit label out there. If any new band signs with them they get what they deserve. I mean how could you honestly want to sign with a label that will put your record out sometime in the next year and half that you recorded it?

[white_emo_punk]

ah, damn drive thru =(

[StartingLine182]

I bet Fall Out Boy is happy they didnt sign with Drive-Thru or anyhing associated with it. Drive-Thru needs to get their shit together.

[Chevy114]

Long story short from what I have read in interviews Drive Thru had to get out of a shitty deal with geffen but had to leave behind it's biggest bands new found glroy, the starting line (which soon after left), Finch (which just broke up), and something corporate (who is doing fine with side projects). Now they have to go out of their distruting deal because stores keep complaing that they don't have enough cds. The Early Novemeber will sell a shit load of cds if they wait in my opinion its just a matter of can they wait.

P.S. Senes fail couldn't release their cd because geffen had control over releases and Richard has said in interviews that Geffen didn't hear a hit song. Senses fail knew dtr was getting out of the Geffen deal and they couldn't wait long enough so now they are with a label that used to be bad ass i.e. the get up kids and all their side prjoects.

[aloneatlastnj]

cant say you didnt see it coming.

[oceanblue]

i'm pretty sure there are legal consequences if they decide to leak this themselves. but DTR sucks, we all know it. i dont like this band, but a lot of people do, and it is messed up to do this to them.
not really if it was "accidently" leaked, Senses fail "accidently" leaked let it enfold you months before it came out because of the DTR bull shit.

I can not say I am suprised by this whole thing, though.

[hornerlas]

it hasnt got anything to do with drive-thru, its based on their deal with santuary records. This will be sorted soon...its just a supply problem as someone said but its nothing to do with geffen (for once)

[nateisawesome]

wow
that sucks so much

[DeathCabForCoon]

Drive Thru is on my list now. You're on notice.
I hope they leak it

[unwritten]

Well this blows.

[alkaholickpunk]

talk about a band that loves there fans, they would leak the songs themselves! ! !

www.myspace.com/alkaholickpunk

[mikeyxxcore]

I just look for drive thru releases to leak, I never know when they actually come out.
until about a month ago, I thought 'We Can Breathe Underwater' was coming out this summer.

[Scott Weber]

Honestly, there's no reason why anyone shoud be surprised by this news...
Yeah, seriously. This is Drive-Thru. I kept laughing at everyone who got all excited for this release...it probably won't hit shelves til 07.

[yanks2np]

This is very annoying. Just release it for sale on the internet in the drive-thru store so we can get it!

[straylighthaste]

man, i've spent so much damn money in their stupid merch store and where exactly is this money going? stuff like this is making me embarrassed to wear anything DTR. TEN doesnt deserve this at all.

[AnotherTale...]

wow this doesn't sound like senses fail or anything....

[Scuba Chris]

I am just as pissed as the next person. Everything getting pushed back sucks. But distribution is really the key to a release. The CDs have to be in stores and in large quantities. TEN is going to sell like crazy, but they won't sell at all if there is only 2 or 3 CDs in each store on the Tuesday it hits the shelves.
I don't really buy the whole bankruptcy thing, there is no way they could sign new bands if this where the case.
And about the Senses Fail thing that was a Geffen issue and to whoever said that DTR spend too much time and money on NFG, they really didn't since RCA scooped them up almost immediately.

[ztr]

thats sad. i just talked to ace on saturday and he said the new distro deal was really coming together and they had a definite date in late may...

[gengen]

i havent bought a dtr realease in about 3 years. i am over this label and their issues. smaller labels w/ smaller bands have better distro and less issues than theirs. record - release. not - record - wait 12 months while label resolves yet another issue - release.

[siimpx]

when did they find out!? my friend interview them two days ago & they said their three disc would be out in april i believe. maybe may. sometime soon.

[Scott Weber]

when did they find out!? my friend interview them two days ago & they said their three disc would be out in april i believe. maybe may. sometime soon.
bands don't always say...what's actually going on in interviews.

[ra223]

They can't give up TEN, for one, Rich and Steph love them to death, and secondly unlike the other bands they actually pretty much poured alot more money in their recording then anyone else. If they release any bands its time to release the shitty ones like Adelphi, or Jenoah who aren't doing shit all. I'm not impressed with this, insted of promoting new bands(which is good) Why don't they sign a new deal with someone or fucking do something about it. Old school DTR worked part time jobs and whatever to get records out, this is getting rediculous. I heard Richard got so broke he had to sell one of his homes i dunno if its true

[underthetalking]

Great... its not my most anticipated release of the year or anything...

Its not surprising because of the whole bullshit surrounding DTR. But this saddens me very much. I've been waiting for new TEN for a long time. It must be a bad situation if they're planning on leaking it themselves. And they put so much into this. I really feel for these guys.

[pin your wingsx]

I offically hate drive thru now

[unwritten]

I'm sure DTR will address this with lies soon enough.

[Shatter_Glass]

After all of this hogwash I cannot believe that a label A&R or someone higher or lower up has not come to the conclusion to just release this TEN album and future releases via digital. Put this sucker on iTunes for 13.99 i mean who on here WOULD'NT buy that?! That's right buy it, because otherwise it will just get leaked my the creators and no profit occurs at face value. Granted the kids who get the leak could buy the offical release, but those kids are few and far between

[RockVocalPower]

I just want my House of Fools and Mile After records.

*Sigh*

Straight up, the best post from this entire thread. That is a great idea and I hope someone who has influence over the situation reads it.

[carramrod2005]

drive thru sux...give me my early november cd!

[RedWineSheets]

I just want my House of Fools and Mile After records.

*Sigh*
Seconded.

[Jentheoptimist]

Who called it mothertruckers!!!! Me and trust layed it down to you that this was gonna happen, now all the little drivethru fans and Ten fans just got spanked. Welcome to introduction to drive-thru's semantics. Try taking our new class. How to smell bullshit 101. Next time two old fucks take you to the "Emo neverland ranch" to spend the night and buy you beer, then take you to woodland hills to raid the Merch room say "Nah I'll pass, I actually want a release that will see the light of day" haha.

[iLIKENOISE]

DTR has slowly been dying for the past 2 years.....

things like this should no longer surprise people. but it still sucks.

tthats becuase they sign everyone now adays

[Nolessthanblink]

I just realized that this news was reported from a reader... that means that I could have gone to a show, and simply CLAIMED that Early November said this and suddenly everyone on absolutepunk is in a frenzy and hating DTR even more... now, even if DTR doesn't release a statement about this, surely TEN would on their website... so, once again, I'm not sure if I believe this just yet.

[InaGreendase]

Dear Drive-Thru,

Just let the RX Bandits release their album on Mash Down Babylon. Thank you.

Signed,
Fans of good music

[so typical]

no good drive thru

[Burnout2888]

Like DTR would allow them to post things like that on the fucking website....wow I'm just not even gonna explain myself any further because if you knew anything about label politics you would have ate your words. Good day sir!

[Jentheoptimist]

I was once a fan, and once claimed to be forever, even took it one step further. Lets just say two jews took me flying over the city and to never never land and I got bored real quick, and decided it was time to grow up. you should to.

[muzik4lyf5000]

I posted this last night. They really seemed upset about the whole deal. You could tell in their performance. feel bad for them. It must suck to work on a triple disc album and get it shelved

Put this sucker on iTunes for 13.99 i mean who on here WOULD'NT buy that?! That's right buy it, because otherwise it will just get leaked my the creators and no profit occurs at face value. Granted the kids who get the leak could buy the offical release, but those kids are few and far between

i like you.

That is actually a good idea.

Dear Drive-Thru,

Just let the RX Bandits release their album on Mash Down Babylon. Thank you.

Signed,
Fans of good music

This would be best. Has the band finished recording?

[MrBaileySays]

You guys should all pick up The Junior Varsity's Wide Eyed. It's in stores NOW

David Melillo's EP was supposed to be a free digital release, but Drive-Thru, for whatever reason, couldn't pull it together well enough to release it in Feb. like initially planned. So it got pushed back to March, and now I think April.

Please cut your penis off we don't need any little yous running around. Like DTR would allow them to post things like that on the fucking website....wow I'm just not even gonna explain myself any further because if you knew anything about label politics you would have ate your words. Good day sir!

Suck a dick dude. I'm pretty sure that they'd be able to announce that their cd has been pushed back you shit head. They don't need the necessarily say the reason WHY, but I know for a fact that they'd be allowed to say that it was pushed back. Bands do it all the time dumb ass... so YOU cut off YOUR penis... cause we don't need anymore of YOU running around... and you talk to me about fucking politics. Be serious.

[Nate_RAWKS]

I understand release date push backs and I understand that this is a business first for these (expletive held back) labels. But I'm sick of The Early November push back. I know it's not the band fault and I know that they feel bad about this, I mean it hurts everyone's pockets, but I'm just being selfish and frustrated. Fucking shitty news.

really not surprised but even more upset.... Drive-Thru has to stop dicking around their best band

[boldt_action]

The should leak it now....

[LPMagic]

Yeah, seriously. This is Drive-Thru. I kept laughing at everyone who got all excited for this release...it probably won't hit shelves til 07.
On one hand, it's Drive Thru. But on the other hand, an album has to come out sometime. I've never seen an album get pushed back so much. Didn't they rerelease their last album with "preview tracks" of this album on it with a sticker saying "Coming Spring (or April?) 2006"? I figured the situation hit critical mass a long time ago, after the - oh say - third push back. It's just unbelievable that this won't be coming out for a while now.

I honestly never want to buy another DT release again.

Straight up, the best post from this entire thread. That is a great idea and I hope someone who has influence over the situation reads it.

Thanks broham, it just makes the MOST sense you know!? I mean Drive Thru already released a TEP digital release and are set to do some EP's that way, why not just a digital release say first of April even if the album hits retail in August? Drive Thru would probibly double their profit off of this album alone. I cannot believe this hasnt crossed anyone's mind over there. I say we start a petition....

they should do that and halifax and id be happy

[zizou1790]

Boooooo

[atticusfinch]

Man. Drive-Thru is such a shitty label now. They peaked a few years ago back around 2001. Now, they can't get out an album that's been complete for 6 months.

[adelphi_rocks]

Who called it mothertruckers!!!! Me and trust layed it down to you that this was gonna happen, now all the little drivethru fans and Ten fans just got spanked. Welcome to introduction to drive-thru's semantics. Try taking our new class. How to smell bullshit 101. Next time two old fucks take you to the "Emo neverland ranch" to spend the night and buy you beer, then take you to woodland hills to raid the Merch room say "Nah I'll pass, I actually want a release that will see the light of day" haha.
you are a moron. please stop living.

[elvis2x]

I bet you.... DTR doesn't exist. It's a fake label. It's not real.

[atticusfinch]

The Starting Line and New Found Glory could be delayed too....need to check with my sources. ;)
Um yeah. Neither of those bands are on DTR anymore?

[akkie]

hmm I wonder why Drive Thru is having so many problems??...maybe it's because they have screwed over every good band that they priviously held on their label. Bad karma drive thru...bad fuckin karma.

[Cornerboy]

This sucks. I hate DTR, there is only like 5 good bands on there now.

[Prettyinpink33]

I interviewed these guys during the take action tour in myrtle beach and they need a break so bad....nothing seems to be working out for them but this new album is going to be amazing...I can tell...plus they are going to be going on an awesome tour in may, so keep your eyes opened for that!

[Ruggiero2oo8]

i'm not suprised, but i'm still very upset

[takingbackNJ]

Midtown And Me Hate Drive-thru Yay

[elvis]

sucks

[Shatter_Glass]

Um yeah. Neither of those bands are on DTR anymore?

....so hints the " ;) "

[livelovecrydie]

so i dont know anything about how the music industry works, but why is it that drive thru cant release an album thats been finished for a while now? is it because they can only release a certain number of albums each week and TEN is at the bottom of the priority list? or is it that they are low on money and have to wait until all the albums with set release dates get released first, and they pushed back TEN to be released after all those other albums. i just dont get why it would take a record label so long to release something thats already done? is it more of a money issue, or a 'popularity' issue (that they gotta release the albums that are hyped up first)

i would be down with that as long as it's not made an itunes exclusive. that would piss me off.

[ohsweetirony]

so lame. DTR has not just fucked over TEN and HGB. They are also fucked over RxB, Homegrown, and 30 of their other bands that haven't released anything in the past 3 years.

[CorporateFish]

Crappy for the band..I feel bad. I feel like the fans are getting just as fucked as them now. I've been dying to hear this forever now.

[RockVocalPower]

so lame. DTR has not just fucked over TEN and HGB. They are also fucked over RxB, Homegrown, and 30 of their other bands that haven't released anything in the past 3 years.

Well to be fair, Hellogoodbye and Homegrown suck ball sack.

From the March DTR newsletter: "The much-anticipated triple album The Mother, The
Mechanic, and The Path will be released later this
year by Drive-Thru Records"

Be serious.Read the post you stupid douche bag and learn to be more specific. Homework assignment jackass, read what was posted and then read what you said. Would they announce that on either website? Now yes of course they would post it was being pushed back but that's not what you said. Now I say good day Sir!

you are a moron. please stop living.Well since you said please... go eat a dick, f a g. If your gonna insult someone do it with gusto.

[ohsweetirony]

Well to be fair, Hellogoodbye and Homegrown suck ball sack.

and you're saying the other 30 bands on drive thru don't suck ball sack?
