Another Hopeless act has made the jump to a major label, with recent signing Nural joining Atlantic Records, part of the Warner Music Group. The follow up to The Weight of the World will be the first in a joint venture between Hopeless and Atlantic and ensuing albums will be released solely via the major label.

Who?

Someone (June 11, 2007)

Wow, this band is so terrible.

I hate the music industry so much.

CCSummers (June 11, 2007)

Who were their other bands that made the jump? I wonder if they have an agreement to work as some sort of farm system label that cultivates the indie credibility of the band before they get properly "signed" to the major. In those types of deal the major foots the bill in full and the indie label's name gets slapped on the CD to make it look credible.

Amber Pacific, Melee, Avenged Sevenfold, Thrice. next up: All Time Low and Kaddisfly.

Coldwaffles (June 11, 2007)

not thrice.

Island is a major.

Someone (June 11, 2007)

It's not like the Island/Fueled By Ramen relationship or some of the Doghouse signings, but the Warner Group has first crack at anything Hopeless signs.

Someone (June 12, 2007)

nope.

Someone (June 11, 2007)

this band has certainly not sold enough to gain major label interest. I don't get it.

Someone (June 11, 2007)

See guy above's post regarding Hopeless being a major label "farm" label.

Fuck Hopeless, dudes haven't signed a decent band in years.

brown (June 11, 2007)

zomg selloutz!

Someone (June 11, 2007)

I get so angry when bands sign to major labels! It's just, like, so fucked up. What gives them the right?! The only bands I will ever support are the ones that don't have places to live or any money to support themselves- that's real punk rock. I mean, I would never try and do that myself and, to the contrary, I actually have never actually even been in a band but I still know what's right or wrong. My punknews brothers- we must stick together in our quest: DO NOT SUPPORT BANDS THAT CAN SUPPORT THEMSELVES! ok, gotta go- my parent's need the computer.

Someone (June 11, 2007)

one of the most boring and common posts ever.

Someone (June 11, 2007)

I don't think you understand. Irony = INSTANT HILARITY!!

CCSummers (June 11, 2007)

no, that was just stupid

ibitchslappedyourmama (June 12, 2007)

yep.

Someone (June 11, 2007)

Are they all signing to the same labels?

Coldwaffles (June 11, 2007)

"Another Hopeless act has made the jump to a major label."

No kidding. Hahah. Well written.

GlassPipeMurder (June 11, 2007)

hahahahaha.

Someone (June 11, 2007)

These guys are squeaky-clean and catchy enough, they could actually pump out some hits with the right producer.

I really liked 'em in 2001 ... I'm gonna say that there's hope for them.

Someone (June 12, 2007)

haha where the lcc ?

they where all about the man up stairs then and you can still see it reflected in the music now. not saying there is anything wrong with that but i forgot when the rules of rock and roll change to not having ANY BALLS anymore!!!

Someone (June 12, 2007)

There's no way this band has sold more than 5 or 6 records.

Someone (June 12, 2007)

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye...

Someone (June 12, 2007)

probably the ony redeeming value of this band is that their roadie is the guy who was the kid in problem child. the movie. no kidding. and he goes by the nickname "pc." no kidding. oh, and it's "gaffer's tape" by the way, not duct tape.

Someone (June 12, 2007)

Another load of crap i have to listen to. when are people going to understand that when you put shit and shit together you get more shit. Over flooding the airwaves with ridiculous music like this from a band who can't even finish a whole U.S. tour because of lack of crowd turn out has to make you think who mommy and daddy know over at the label. Well at least you will all be happy to know that they wont go anywhere because Atlantic is going to take the feeble amount they make off album sales and put it towards the next load of crap they would like the public to listen to.

Someone (June 12, 2007)

Right on.

hungjury (June 12, 2007)

These guys worked really hard on last years Warped Tour. Hard work does pay off, for sure. Great guys.

Someone (June 12, 2007)

BULLSHIT !! I know for a fact that they showed up first day of warped no invite nothing. The only person with any creds was charlie because he was playing for amber pacific. Its not how hard you work anymore its who you know.
