According to New York-based The Gunz Show, Florida’s A Day To Remember are filing suit against seminal hardcore label Victory Records, citing breach of contract. Apparently, the band wish to be free of all ties to the label as they believe they have fulfilled all of their contractual obligations, while the label itself apparently begs to differ.
Further digging reveals that the band initially filed suit back in June 2011 in Nashville, stating that the label owed them $75,000 in royalties.
Though they’ve generally been a well-respected label, A Day To Remember are not the first band to take issue with Victory Records over issues surrounding contracts and royalties, following in the footsteps of bands like Hawthorne Heights, Thursday and Streetlight Manifesto. We’ll keep you posted on any updates.
