Death Cab For Cutie Signs To Atlantic
Death Cab For Cutie has signed a long-term worldwide deal with Atlantic Records. The modern rock quartet was previously signed to Barsuk Records, which released the critically acclaimed album "Transatlanticism" in 2003. The set has sold more than 225,000 units in the U.S., according to Atlantic.
Barsuk retains rights to "Transatlanticism," the rest of the band's catalog and an upcoming live EP. Barsuk will also release future Death Cab albums on vinyl in the United States.
Death Cab wraps up a North American headlining tour this week, then will begin work on its first Atlantic set. Meanwhile, singer/guitarist Ben Gibbard's side project, the Postal Service, is in its 90th week on the Top Independent Albums chart with "Give Up" (Sub Pop).

I guess it was only a matter of time since the OC had been pimping them along with everybody else.
I visited their website last week. I didn't know one of their band members is a self professed comic geek too! He went to the San Diego con with his buddy who dressed like Bruce Lee circa Game of Death. His buddy even has a pic of himself and Mack on his website. I thought that was pretty cool. _________________ I don't know me and you don't know you so we fit so good together cause I knew you like I knew myself

Hey good for them!
One of my girlfriend's fave bands.
We met them in San Diego and went to dinner with them.
That band member on the website, and his Bruce Lee pal in the photos are super cool.
That was a great San Diego con!
At my booth, Bendis also introduced me to the OC's Allen Heinburg, who was great and bought the original art to one of my Alias covers.
Then Bendis introduced us to the Matrix' Andy Wachowski.
Anh's Tranimals were the exlusive at the Tower Records booth and her peeps there are tight with Death Cab.
Comic cons are such a great collision of worlds!
Any way, go Death Cab!
Congrats! |
