Messege from the band:
Hey everyone,
After much deliberating, we decided to part ways with Rise Records. Leaving Rise is a logical step to moving forward in our career. After having one of the supposedly highest regarded pop-punk releases of last year and not seeing one single opportunity come from it, it was a choice we had to make.
While being signed to the label, we never lost the drive or the DIY attitude that this band was founded on. We spent the year on the label, begging for favors to open tours, hitting the road as much as we could, hustling records at every show, sleeping on floors EVERY SINGLE NIGHT on tour. Not to mention, digging in to our own pockets each time our shitty vans broke down. We believe in pushing our band forward with our work ethic, and songs and will to fight for what we want to achieve. We thought that signing to a label would only help further our exposure with their connections and drive to want us to succeed. We now know, that we need to surround ourselves with the people who share the same goals and dreams that we possess. Rise is a great record label. They treated us like family and took a chance on our band. We also took a chance on them. We are so fortunate for the time we had on the label and we appreciate everything they did for our band. We have no hard feelings toward Rise and wish them and there artists the best of luck in the future.
To everyone who's wondering what's next for us... it's simple.We're going to be back and stronger than ever. More updates on a new home, new tour dates and a release are coming soon. Adios Amigos.
