Silverstein singer signs Dead and Divine to label

Official press release: Shane Told, frontman for Canada's Silverstein, has started Verona Records. "I've started a label not as a business venture, or to gain anything for myself. I see amazingly talented bands all over the world, and so many of them have no direction on what to do on the business side of things. I've started this label to guide these bands in the right direction, and help provide them with the finances they need to really give themselves the best shot at playing music full-time." The first signing is Dead and Divine, from Told's hometown of Oakville, Ontario, and for those expecting them to sound like Silverstein, think again. "This band is very metal, he says. And super talented. I saw so much potential in these guys, that I asked them if I could put out their record." Their debut release comes out November 29th.

Regardless of the band he's in, would you rather work with a kid in another band to get your music out, or a guy in a suit that calls CD's "units".

I wasn't going to even bother commenting, but yeah... judging by how incredibly shitty this guy's band is, I'm gonna assume anything he's interested in signing has to be just as lame.

150$ haircuts + 16 year girls = silverstein bankroll.......'very metal' translates to 'this band is trying to be part of a quickly dying fad where hacks attempt to sell unfashionable merch through tough guy posturing'

okay, now maybe i have eye boogers or something, but if i'm not mistake, the top reads: "LAMBGOAT - HARDCORE//METAL//REVILED FORUM" not: "LAMBGOAT - pssy//gay//SHITt-ts"...that is all.
