that sucks, but there's no good bands on their anyway.

Stolen Transmission is no longer with Island Def Jam, but Sarah says they're planning to keep Stolen Transmission going.

Superb!

that's technically still illegal, especially if it has the 'this cd is property of _____ blah blah blah' on it

ST has some good bands. (ie photo atlas, MAI, Playradioplay!, Schoolyard Heroes) Hopefully, if they don't go elsewhere island will keep them on.

Schoolyard's cd is superb.

this sucks, but I'm not convinced that this isn't in the future for more small sublabels of big companies. some professional probably came in and determined that the best way to "streamline" the process was to get rid of the Stolen Transmission staff then have someone who was just sitting around at Island take over the responsibilities (I know that 1 person could not replace an entire staff, go with the concept). It's a problem that this website exists to prove how much a large number of people love, or claim to love music, but it's just not bringing in the revenue for these bands that labels hoped it would. I don't have an answer to the music downloading/CD sales/etc problem, just too much time on my hands to write a response of this length.

ok i will admit i did download monty are i cd after i saw them play with the audition but then when i saw them at warped tour i bought there cd.same thing with PRP i downloded his cd but i did his threw itunes.

For those correcting grammar on message boards:

"That is unfortunate, but that label does not have any good bands."

Forgive me professor, sometimes I type faster than my brain thinks.

Thanks everyone for all your kind words and support (save for the person above who still doesnt know the difference between there, their, and they're). It really means a lot to me to hear you all say such nice things about the artists on Stolen Transmission.

Stolen Transmission started IN MY BEDROOM as an indie label putting out hand made cds of bands that me and Rob believed in. We werent funded back then, and we were really happy. We did everything because of how much we loved music. Now that I've had my experience with Island/Def Jam, I know how to actually run a label, and I helped set up 9 amazing releases from Permanent ME, the Oohlas, Monty Are I, Bright Light Fever, the Horrors, Schoolyard Heroes, PlayRadioPlay!, Innerpartysystem, and the Photo Atlas. I'm so fucking proud that my label went from me and a bunch of interns sitting in my bedroom smoking and watching degrassi and eating guac i had just made to me sitting in meetings once a week with JayZ and now it'll just go back to being run from my apartment again. We plan on continuing with Stolen Transmission and are really excited to be returning to our indie roots.

I'm also glad to say that the Stolen Transmission party is coincedently starting in a new venue tonight! That means no more Angels & Kings, and now we're going to the Hanger Bar (3rd street btw B and C), which is also more aligned with the vibe the party hand when the label was run out of my bedroom. This is all very very exciting for me.

Anyway, thanks for all your love and support. Stolen Transmission is not over, we're just super duper indie again and now Absolutepunk can stop using the island def jam logo like we asked them to two years ago :P.

Keep your eyes out for handmade singles from stolen transmission in the future!

says the guy who "loves" many of bands who were signed/groomed/helped by BOTH Sarah and Rob. I can't say much more than they are two people who I greatly admire and have been very grateful for working with. They're class acts.

I would hope people would take a moment to think about what they're putting out there for the entire world to see, that's all. But, hey.. to each their own, right? Right.

This sucks but PlayRadioPlay! are a Hellogoodbye cover band.

really? damn... i love ultragrrrl and most of the bands on the label. but for some reason i'm not really worried, i know there's going to be bigger and better things :D
