I never really listened to DR myself, but they were signed at Atlantic while I worked there. The number of crappy artists on the rosters over there that garner attention are ridiculous. You want to see absolutely garbage decision-making, go hang out at Atlantic Records for a day.
Nice that they are still alive. They really won me over when I saw them over a year ago. I enjoy Used and Abused quite a bit. No bands in this scene should ever really associate with any majors. Those labels just don't get it.
