He's right, the music industry is real rough. If anyone read Shane's post immediately after Valencia broke, you'd know about the shit they put him through, essentially forcing him to lose 50 lbs. in 2 weeks. Here it is for anyone who didn't read it.

I don't know why Kevin wont add him? Of all of the "side stage" acts, he would be the one I would be most excited for

That's fucking stupid. Can't believe record labels still think something like that is relevant.

"Hey do you like Valencia?"
"Nah leader singer is kinda chubby"
"Oh ya"

WHO THINKS LIKE THIS. Columbia records apparently.

Man, you have to have some metabolism to drop 50lbs in 14 days by only eating 500 calories and only running 2 miles. In fact, I don't believe it.

Not that that is healthy, anyway. And neither was signing to a label that put that in your contract.

I'm thankful Shane made those sacrifices, though. Their 2005 and 2008 records are some of the finest full-lengths to come out of my scene since.. well.. ever.

Good luck, Shane. I won't be remembered in 100 years, but maybe you will. And maybe all your sacrifices will be worth it.. no one is remembered without them.

Hope to see you at.. PNC Bank Arts Arena (WTF, Warped Tour?).

It's more than likely already booked. He's literally six months late...

He doesn't have a gimmick, so I would imagine getting on Warped would be difficult.

Seems like a super legit dude. Just tweeted Kevin Lyman to try to help him out on the warped thing.

I'd say every single major label, and a majority of indie labels and managers, think this way. Oh, and humans.

I know this was sarcastic and bitter, but I want to make a mean comment about you liking TBS, other bands, being on Warped

wait, PNC? well that sucks.

But the lineup actually sounds alright so far, and I would really love to see Shane on the acoustic stage.

music industry sucks unless youre the dude from nevershoutnever

Shane definitely deserves to be on warped a lot more than the majority of these flavor of the week bands.
