Turmoil leaves Abacus Recordings

Lambgoat can exclusively report that Pennsylvania's Turmoil has amicably parted ways with Abacus Recordings. Both parties felt that a separation was in the best interests of everyone involved. When they originally broke up in 2000, Turmoil had still been under contract with Century Media Records, which led to a deal with one-time Century Media imprint Abacus when the group reformed in 2004. Abacus subsequently released the band's "Staring Back" retrospective in 2005. Turmoil has written several new songs and hopes to release a new full-length in 2007. Now free of contractual obligations with Abacus, Turmoil is actively seeking a new record label and is currently in talks with a few labels. Interested parties should contact the band.

heart_means_everything 10/16/2006 6:12:59 PM

really good move on turmoil's part, abacus has a nasty habit of fcking their bands over.

sacralplexus 10/16/2006 7:29:40 PM

NO CARE

Strongarm 10/16/2006 8:15:24 PM

great band

dot357 10/17/2006 7:52:28 AM

During their European tour almost a year ago, Gula was already complaining on stage and asking us to mail the abacus staff how much they sucked :p. Anyway, good move!!! Hope the new label is more supportive...

Brett_Swill 10/17/2006 8:27:08 AM

Coptic Times man.

likeatonabricks 10/17/2006 10:56:25 AM

fck abacus. Get on a good label and see what a little support will do for a band.

Dik 10/17/2006 1:24:35 PM

I don't care who picks these dudes up. They will still rule.

StreetForce 10/17/2006 6:50:51 PM

they should play shows in the meantime

hardware 10/18/2006 2:28:16 PM

Should be jocking this band way before Botch, that's my opinion.

chooseyourweapon 10/18/2006 3:31:03 PM

You didn't hear it from me, but I heard from a Eulogy Records worker that said they are picking up Turmoil.

forumdrama 10/19/2006 12:24:48 PM

just contacted turmoil with a deal. they'll get $.10 for every CD sold at Wal-Mart (the only mass distribution I'll do), and will be given unlimited cheddar bay biscuits from red lobster when they tour.
