Wie eine von vielen Victory-Bands reiben sich nun Streetlight Manifesto mit ihrem Label.

Die Band postet auf ihrere Homepage folgendes:

If you want to support Streetlight Manifesto by buying a CD, shirt, hoodie, poster, etc etc, PLEASE do not buy anything from Victory Records or their website. Use our online store or come out to a show and support the band by buying merch there. We cannot condone or agree with the actions or ethics of our record label, nor do we want to support them financially through revenue made under the guise of helping Streetlight. Hey douchebag lawyers: This is not libel or slander. We're just letting our fans know how best to support the band if they should choose to do so by buying stuff. That is all.

As a bonus, let's play 'GUESS THAT QUOTE"!!!!! Here it is: 'I absolutely believe that allowing people to cherry-pick the tracks they want from each album cannibalizes full-length album sales and is ultimately detrimental to the artists who created the music. It is important for people to experience the entire album. Not just a track(s).'

Streetlight Manifesto ist nicht die erste Band, die sich gegen Victory Records stellt. Vor ihnen haben gab es u.a Probleme mit Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, Atreyu und Waterdown, die die Politik des Labels kritisierten.
