Victory Records signs Nodes Of Ranvier

Victory Records has signed Sioux Falls, South Dakota's Nodes of Ranvier. Bandleader Jon Parker comments: "This band has been through many ups and downs in its seven year existence. What started in a cramped room in my parents' basement has grown to international exposure. For a bunch of kids from South Dakota it has been quite a ride and we have achieved more than we ever originally imagined." "We could not be any more excited about the opportunity to continue to do what we love with a label that understands what it means to have humble beginnings and achieve big dreams. This band will maintain its neck jerking pace and the material for our upcoming release will reflect our fluent ability to make music that drives this band forward. Nodes' main objective will continue to be to exude the energy on tour, in our live performances and in our records that we have for the love of what we do,” continued Parker. Nodes of Ranvier's last album for Facedown Records has sold over 15,000 copies since its late 2005 release. The band will be heading into the studio later this month to record their Victory Records debut, to be released this July. Victory owner Tony Brummel said, "I am proud and excited that Nodes of Ranvier have decided to join us. Everyone at Victory loves hard music. We have been adding a lot of harder, metallic bands to our diverse roster and Nodes fits in nicely. They have always impressed me with their decency, work ethic and authentic musical passion."

victory is a fcking disgrace. Death to them all.

xpoopx 2/13/2007 3:33:16 PM

hahaha.. I say take all the JC bullshit to Victory. It's even more reason for me not to support them.

jank 2/13/2007 3:42:06 PM

wow. no care.

nuggz 2/13/2007 3:44:28 PM

they used to be good, but i can't believe their still a band

Akuma 2/13/2007 3:44:42 PM

Why do bands still sign with this label?

I_Wear_Norma_Jeans 2/13/2007 3:52:17 PM

Comeback Kid leaves Facedown, joins Victory and their momentum died. Sinai Beach leaves Facedown, joins Victory and their momentium died. Nodes of Ranvier leaves Facedown, joins Victiory and their...ah why finish.

onemeansquid 2/13/2007 3:55:36 PM

good, hopefully this will kill off another shit band and finish bankrupting another shit label

drewxblood 2/13/2007 3:55:49 PM

I was thinking of all the great jokes i could leave to make fun of this, until i decided to just LOL at "bandleader." Also, dude above makes a good point.

siberiandilemma 2/13/2007 4:00:43 PM

the self titled album rules hard. newest one is ok.

zero_x_potential 2/13/2007 4:05:27 PM

this band was solid, but this is not good news

Mudhoney 2/13/2007 4:06:19 PM

scene_destroyer 2/13/2007 4:13:13 PM

nuggz 2/13/2007 3:44:28 PM they used to be good, but i can't believe their still a band/// when were they ever good?

strongarm 2/13/2007 4:55:14 PM

^^Listen to OLD album "Lost Senses More Innocence", completely different band/sound then, highly regarded album.

AndrewChrz 2/13/2007 4:59:44 PM

First two albums were good, if a little Jesus-y. Last one stunk.

AndyFaint 2/13/2007 5:56:24 PM

Anyone with anything negative to say in this comments section can rot in hell. Congrats to Nodes. I love you guys.

chooseyourweapon 2/13/2007 6:01:30 PM

First album was great, second was pretty good, newest one blows. Just say no to nu-metal singing.

AndyFaint 2/13/2007 6:08:01 PM

There was nothing numetal about Ryan's vocals. His voice was thick and unique. And it doesn't really matter anyway, because he's no longer in the band.

motherfckzombies 2/13/2007 6:12:07 PM

who the fck is sinai beach?

OfGO 2/13/2007 6:12:18 PM

I_Wear_Norma_Jeans 2/13/2007 3:52:17 PM Comeback Kid leaves Facedown, joins Victory and their momentum died" - YOU ARE A fckING RETARDED SHITHEAD!

walkertexasranger 2/13/2007 9:10:17 PM

even tho ringworm, btbam, and dead to fall are victory rosters, the label is still shit. victory will sign ANY band, regardless of how bad they suck.

dave_is_cool 2/13/2007 9:36:49 PM

Great guys, best of luck to you all.

rraaawwrr 2/13/2007 9:41:36 PM

the_extremist 2/13/2007 9:45:25 PM

Easily one of the worst hardcore bands ever.. hahah bandleader, more like queerbait

Nowonmai 2/13/2007 10:12:13 PM

Walter 2/13/2007 10:48:37 PM

I WEAR NORMA JEANS... Comeback Kid is basically the biggest hardcore band going right now. You are a fool.

HammerSmashedFace 2/13/2007 10:51:22 PM

HORRIBLE BAND

xfullofhatex 2/13/2007 11:01:01 PM

xtroyx 2/13/2007 11:32:26 PM

sincerely_deceived 2/14/2007 1:07:19 AM

self-titled was great

whatswrongwithme 2/14/2007 3:16:53 AM

xshotgunseranadex 2/14/2007 4:58:37 AM

this band was once good, the last cd was aight at best, drummer kinda really blows... but victory will puts the final nail in the coffin...sigh*

MSGF 2/14/2007 6:20:37 AM

Comeback Kid are going to explode with the new disc. Nodes are shit; just another Jesus band with nothing going for them. Sinai Beach have always been shit too.

loki 2/14/2007 8:09:05 AM

random as fck, but i couldn't really give a shit.

gozer 2/14/2007 8:59:32 AM

squids 2/14/2007 9:37:11 AM

Victory Records signs gay

MorgaMAD 2/14/2007 9:38:03 AM

I forgot all about this band.

john_doe 2/14/2007 10:01:30 AM

didn't they sign sinai beach too? aren't these all christian metalcore bands? facedown's big brother?

tama812 2/14/2007 4:02:43 PM

There goes another good band. fck!

crucialtech 2/14/2007 4:08:38 PM

Facedown loses another one, Victory to ruin another one.

TonyVictory 2/14/2007 9:07:54 PM

I was drunk on jesus juice when I signed these guys.

vertigo_index 2/15/2007 12:48:23 AM

shit band. shit label. tony victory knows how to party...

xsaltxblakex 2/15/2007 2:43:54 PM

Tony victory is such a c-cksucker he quite possibly ruined hardcore next to whoever invented the internet and booking agencies. Well atleast ringworm is the only good band on victory now a days.

I_put_the_fun_in_funeral 2/15/2007 9:37:37 PM

definately not a victory for NOR.

forumdrama 2/16/2007 4:30:47 PM

TheWood 2/17/2007 1:01:53 AM

VICTORY RECORDS: Going to shit since Raybeez's death.
