By 2 Comments

Hit The Lights have announced that they have signed to Universal Republic in partnership with Vagrant Records. The band will be releasing their new full-length album in 2011.

A few statements from Nick Thompson can be seen below.

We took the time to talk to many great people and companies this past year.  We discussed where we saw the future of HTL and, eventually, made the decision to sign with another label. We here in Hit The Lights are proud to announce that we have signed to Universal Republic Records, in partnership with Vagrant Records, and will be releasing a new record in 2011 to prepare the world for the upcoming Apocalypse!

So what now? This is what now: For the past year we have been writing more songs than we have written in our career as a band, trying new things, trying old things and doing everything we can to make sure that this record is THE BEST HIT THE LIGHTS RECORD YET. We mean this. Keep your ears open on the playground, we’ve got more information coming soon. Thanks for all your patience, we’ll make it worth your while. We’d stock up on some new, well-made undies as well. We can smell your fear!

Say Anything Talks Their Future

By 1 Comment

Max from Say Anything has posted a note talking about the future of the band. Some highlights from the note include that the next Say Anything album will be on a new label and probably in a different direction then the bands previous work. Max also stated the following:

Say Anything has made the unanimous decision to NOT break up, or go on “indefinite” hiatus, or whatever they are calling it, EVER. We understand why so many of our peers have needed this and don’t fault them AT ALL but since we’re a sort of a different kind of band, whose structure itself lends itself to a lot of freedom, we’re going to attack things in a different way.
