Adeline Records switches distributors

Posted by justin on Friday, March 3, 2006 at 1:20 AM (EST)

Best known as the label co-founded by Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong in 1998, Adeline Records have changed distributors. The Oakland based label is now working with East West for their distribution needs and had previously been using Mordam, prior to their merger with Lumberjack .

East West is a division of The Warner Music Group and is home to many labels, such as Liberty & Lament, Triple Crown Records, Volcom Entertainment and Tent Show.

I agree. I wonder when Billie will get tired of doing Green Day

Someone (March 3, 2006)

maybe when it stops paying the bills. im being serious though

Someone (March 3, 2006)

So if Green Day ever splits, what do u think all of the members would do?

lots and lots of drugs. that's what i would do if i had millions of dollars, nothing to do, no responsibilities, and had spent the last 12 years in on of the biggest bands on the planet.

Someone (March 3, 2006)

it's been more like 15 or 17 yrs.

Someone (March 3, 2006)

no responsibilities?....so the kids and families they have aren't responsibilities? Billie Joe is married and has 2 kids....i'd say thats a hell of a lot of responsibility

the_other_scott (March 3, 2006)

yeah i didn't know he has kids

Someone (March 3, 2006)

stop the presses

I thought this was common knowledge....I talked to Jesse Luscious a long time ago and he mentioned that Adeline had switch distributors in their whole revamping bit. Bah...Lumberjack rocks. If I ever put out an album I'm using them...well them or anyone who'd put out something I did...I'd have to weigh the offers. -Dante

Hi, I am really cool and I am going to tell how really cool I am by talking about the issue like I know what the fuck is going on on a really cool personal level. Hey everyone, don't you think I am really cool? Don't I know really cool stuff!? Don't you want to be my friend. I mean, gosh, I know Jesse Luscious (probably not, I probably just had a conversation at a show), however, that's still really cool.

Dante3000 (rich) (March 3, 2006)

Wow...You've never heard of an interview have you? And as far as the restructuring of Adeline and me knowing about that, it's common knowledge. They announced it months ago and they dropped 90% of their old acts. I figured most people kind of knew about the restructuring due to that. But yeah, I'm totally cool and awesome because I pay attention and can put 2 and 2 together. I'm not Scott, I don't have insider information. I get the same info anyone on this site can get if they look around and have reading comprehension. Nevermind, go back to beating off to pictures of your step sisters dance rehersal. -Dante

Go Korea!! I don't think that anyone really stands a chance against the Dominican Republic except maybe the U.S., but I'm personally rooting for Korea or Venezuela (specifically my favorite player, Omar Vizquel).

I haven't followed baseball at all in about 8 years, but I always thought Omar Vizquel was the most underrated player in the whole league. I can't believe he's still playing. Who's he with now?

Someone (March 3, 2006)

He makes up the youth squad of the oldest team ever assembled, the SF Giants. Serioulsy, Finley, Alou, Vizquel, Bonds, Father Time, Jesus, Dust, The Big Bang. You get the picture. I would guess 35.5 is the average age. And Matt Cain sucks.

Hubitcherkokov (March 3, 2006)

Yeah, for the World Baseball Classic he's playing with Venezuela. He signed with the San Francisco Giants in the fall of 2004 and this season will be his second full season with them. He really is the most underrated player in the league, too. In recent history, the only player who may have been a better fielding shortstop is Ozzie Smith.

The Japs are crunching the Chinkers right now. I hope they take it. GO FUK U DOME!

lol!

Someone (March 3, 2006)

It isn't really Adeline anymore. Green Day's manager bought the name and is using it as his own Warner imprint. Aside from that, Adeline now is just a clothing brand. Good people, but no longer doing the punk rock.

Mordam went to shit once they were bought by Lumberjack

Mordam sucks balls...fuckin surfers....

i've never understood why green day doesn't release their albums on adeline.

housewrecker (March 3, 2006)

It's similar to the reason most NOFX records aren't on Fat.

FuckYouOiOiOi (March 3, 2006)

contract issues?

housewrecker (March 3, 2006)

Actually I think it's more like this: Green Day/NOFX (moreso the case for GreenDay) sell way too many records to be handled effectively by a really small label. Essentially they would have to hire a lot more staff people to cover all the extra work that needs to be done when you're selling TONS of records. If they do this their label gets bigger and they lose a lot of the control they have when a label is really small. Fat could probably handle NOFX now, but they used to be a really small label and every order you got came with a letter from Mike or Erin. By the way, as for their reasoning this is just my opinion - I haven't talked to Mike or Billie Jo in many many years.

Someone (March 3, 2006)

Fat put the last NOFX album out!!!

housewrecker (March 3, 2006)

That makes sense. FAT is big enough to handle them now. I didn't know because I haven't followed NOFX for a long time...although I still enjoy the stuff I hear from them, ESPECIALLY the new song I recently heard. It sounded Longest Line era...

Someone (March 3, 2006)

yeah, its more likely that it's because of their 7 album exclusive contract with a major label.

Someone (March 4, 2006)

their last contract ended with the greatest hits album. they signed a new one for shenanigans/american idiot

Inspection12e (March 3, 2006)

They haven't released a cd in like two years. Who really cares about their distro.

Apparently while the change was happening they stopped putting out records and focused on clothes. Now that the revamp is complete they'll probably start putting out new music. -Dante

cjmarsicano (March 3, 2006)

Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if the Lookout!-era Green Day albums were reissued on Adeline now that EastWest/WMG is the gobetween.

Someone (March 3, 2006)

Jesse Malin is the best act on this label now.

radioXwaves (March 3, 2006)

I almost feel bad for Mordam as every label seems to be jumping ship since it got bought by Lumberjack

yeah, Swami is the latest to go (surprised that didn't get reported here), plus I heard that LBJ/Mordam is up for sale..............
