MySpace Records signs Sherwood

Contributed by inagreendase. Posted by Meg on Saturday, October 28, 2006 at 10:00 PM (EDT)

Sherwood have announced that they'll soon ink a deal with MySpace Records:

Sherwood has decided that Myspace Records will be our home. We will be signing this next weekend at CMJ in NYC and we are really excited. We feel that Myspace will allow the band complete freedom to make the albums that we want while providing a unique ability to market the records. Part of our decision stems from an understanding that the music industry is changing and it..s a scary time for those investing their lives into such an unstable business. We want to be able to continue to write music and we believe that Myspace Records will free our minds from many other stresses that come with releasing an album. For those of you that support bands in anyway please know that it is huge for us all, especially the little guys.

The band released Sing, But Keep Going last year through Side Cho Records.

The title says they signed but the story says they're signing next week.
WAIT...who announces a deal before they sign? Tom still has a week to change his mind.
And what the fuck happened to their first announced signing Hollywood Undead?

P.S. Not fucking around, my friend claims it's fact that Tom ran an Asian porn site before starting myspace. Don't believe me? Check out myspace records top friends.

They have a million "friends", and no fans.

When my band played Warped this summer, we got a chance to talk the Sherwood guitarist about this. They've been courted by Tom and myspace records for the last 5 months or so, and I'm surprised I hadn't heard of them signing sooner.

Booyah!

Check out www.knowmore.org, sage francis' (and someone else, I believe) site about corporations. The Myspace expose is very interesting and informative, it didn't go down like everyone has been led to believe. Peace yo.

THIS FUCKING BAND..... holy shit... I hate these guys.

Ok, so, they somehow ended up on a show with my old band, and we were playing right after them, and while we played, they played an acoustic set in the parking lot. How fucking disrespectful to another group of musicians can you get?

In defense of whoever made the original post and their band, if what he says surprises you, then you haven't been to an all ages show and seen how a group of guys in tight jeans and professional hair can make teenagers follow them around.

There are five typographical errors in this blurb. Not off to a good start.
I hope whoever wrote these words for Sherwood to "say" isn't the same person who does the rest of their PR.

Oops. Just saw another one. Please notice first line:

Sherwood have. . .

But immediatlely following:

Sherwood has. . .

Off to a damn bad start, I'd say.
