Equal Vision have signed Dear and the Headlights. The band had this to say about the signing:
We are very happy to tell you all that we have officially signed a record deal with Equal Vision Records. We want to thank everyone who has supported us along the way. We would not have this opportunity without all of you who listen to our music, come out to shows and help spread the word about DATH. We are very excited about working with the people at Equal Vision. We have spoken with many people at the label and people who have worked with the label and we are confident that they will let us continue to make our music the way we want to make it.
The band have finished recording their full-length Small Steps, Heavy Hooves, but haven't solidified a release date yet. You can hear a couple tracks from the album on MySpace.
