awesome news, keep up the good work DTR, you've been a huge inspiration for Veggie Co. Records and we're proud to say we just put out two amazing releases from Sun Zoo and Ghost of a Stranger respectively. So thanks, and look forward to a bright future!

good news.
just wish they had good bands on the label still like 8 years ago.
socratic is good, thats it IMO

who doesn't!?! :)

and wow, according to your profile that would've made you like 10 years old.....
in no way do i mean that negatively

Remember when they were gigantic? Back in 2002ish? When they had like 20 bands that all sounded like New Found Glory with varying levels of screaming? Man, oh man, what a time to be alive...

so what about dave???? is steel train bouncin??/ anwser the questions we really wanna hear!!!

I credit drive-thru records as one of the labels that got me into the music I like. Through New Found Glory I discovered the label. From there I explored the label and found Fenix TX, Allister, Something Corporate, Rx Bandits, Finch, and The Early November. I miss the old Drive Thru. Now with Dave Mellilo gone and I Am The Avalanche on what seems like permanent hold, the only bands semi-interesting are hellogoodbye and Ace Enders' band.

Edit: oh yeah and Steel Train!

i am the avalanche...guess not

Not trying to be an ass or anything, but weren't you 10 years old then?

This label has come a long way, and I can't wait to see where the future takes them. Everyone go buy Socratic's new album! Also, I can't wait for Ace Enders' project and new Hellogoodbye.

wow, all the rumors have been answered, like the ones about dave melilio and i am the avalanche! oh wait they didn't say anything.

What about the status of I am the Avalanche? I heard some of there new material in Long island almost 16 months ago, and still no album? Whats the deal?

- New Found Glory
- Rx Bandits
- Movielife
- Finch
- Homegrown
- Somethign Corporate
- Fenix TX
- Allister
- Early November
- Hellogoodbye
- Starting Line

WOW, remember when this record label was dominant! jesus christ, how the mighty have fallen.
honestly....not their fault. Some of these bands have simply broken up, and others have moved on to LARER labels...or wanted more independence.

it's really a combo of bad luck and crap luck.
i hope drive-thru sticks around...so many bands, and other indie labels dont know how important drive-thru was to the up and coming success of "scene" bands.

I love how all it turns into is one big "buy these albums" message.
