Zutons dropped
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 14 January 2009
The Zutons have reportedly been dropped by their label, Sony affiliates Deltasonic. Teletext’s Planet Sound reports the relationship came to an end over Christmas.
Although the band’s third album, released last year, peaked at number six in the album charts, the first single, ‘Always Right Behind You’, only reached number 26, while the follow-up ‘What’s Your Problem?’ failed to chart.
The band were also slightly blighted by the fact that the most popular version of any of their songs is Amy Winehouse’s cover of ‘Valerie’, which was so successful that most people who saw The Zutons play it thought they were making a bad job of playing an Amy Winehouse song.
The Zutons have refused to comment on the split.
