Hawthorne Heights sign to Wind-up
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 3 February 2009
Emo types Hawthorne Heights have signed a new record deal with Wind-up Entertainment. Actually, it’s one of those new fangled 360-degree deals, and will see the music company handle their recordings, online activity, merchandising and publishing.
Let’s hope they don’t fall out, given how far reaching that deal seems to be. As much previously reported, Hawthorne Heights fell out big time with their last label Victory Records, hitting out at the rock indie’s marketing exploits, and trying to get out of their record deal so they could sign to EMI.
But Victory successfully sued to make the band stick to their original contract (and to stop them doing the EMI deal). After much legal wrangling the band and label reached a deal, which resulted in the release of one more album by the band on Victory – ‘Fragile Future’ – last year.
Their first album on Wind-up is expected later this year.
