King leaves Equal Vision Records

Michigan hardcore/metal band King has parted ways with Equal Vision Records. The group, which features Jason Hale of Chiodos, signed with the label last winter. The band has issued the following: "We are fuckin' excited to announce we have dropped from Equal Vision Records. We don't have any fake ass reason like 'creative differences' as an explanation here. We're just done. We'll be lining up as many shows as we can in the near future and we should have a new video blog up this week. We want to, as always, thank everyone who has supported us in the past and who are continuing to support us."

EVR had a real problem with the bands name. When King expressed feelings of distaste for changing the name EVR refused to release the record.

This band doesn't deserve any label. They act ignorant at shows and have a terrible group of fans. Sorry, but they need to just give it up right now.
