03.11.2010 | DO NOT SUPPORT VICTORY RECORDS
Hello there. Just a quick note from us:
If you want to support Streetlight Manifesto by buying a CD, shirt, hoodie, poster, etc etc, PLEASE do not buy anything from Victory Records or their website. Use our online store or come out to a show and support the band by buying merch there. We cannot condone or agree with the actions or ethics of our record label, nor do we want to support them financially through revenue made under the guise of helping Streetlight. Hey douchebag lawyers: This is not libel or slander. We’re just letting our fans know how best to support the band if they should choose to do so by buying stuff. That is all.

While they have not hidden their dislike of Victory before, this is rather more upfront than usual.

While any news that comes from Victory rather than the band should always be taken with a pinch of salt, it seems likely that this is legitimate given the albums completed state. No word yet on album art, track listing, or the vinyl release Pentimento Music is supposed to be doing.
