Shadows Fall Frontman Discuss Changes to Major Label
SHADOWS FALL frontman Brian Fair recently spoke to MTV.com about jumping ship from Century Media Records to Atlantic for their forthcoming studio effort, tentatively due in early 2007.
"We were friends with [the folks at Century Media] before we signed with the label, and they definitely went above and beyond what we thought an indie label could possibly do," he said. "They did offer us a great deal, but we wanted to ... see if we could take it to another level.
"It was a tough decision, but one we felt we really needed to make. We've been together 10 years, so we came with a contract and we knew exactly what we wanted. If people weren't into that initial thing, we knew we could cut them off right away. We weren't settling. We were brutally honest right at the beginning, and it stopped a lot of those dinners right away.
"These labels knew they weren't signing BRITNEY SPEARS," Fair continued. "They were just getting a bunch of Ma--hole metalheads. We were just psyched to get some free pizza and beer."
