Depswa And Grade 8 Now Drop Off Ozzfest

DEPSWA are the latest casualty to have tour support yanked from them by their label Geffen, which of course means they cannot continue on this years OZZFEST. They follow GRADE 8 who were recently dumped by Atlantic Records. This means that GRADE 8 and DEPSWA are both dropping off the tour, and this time - it looks as though it will happen...

GRADE 8 were borrowing MOTOGRATER's instruments, and traveling on DEPSWA's bus - obviously now, transport is not available, forcing them to retire. GRADE 8's management along with Atlantic, also stopped working with the band 2 weeks ago, leaving them without any support in that direction.

Reasons for the bands being without a label seems to stem to their obvious lack of ability to sell CD's, both artists have soundscan numbers under 10,000. It's presently unclear as to what path either band will now go.
