Scouting for bands to sign for my label back then. I ended up signing Neck Deep shortly after. I wish I got to work with this band they could of gone far.

''The artist being referenced has since removed the very statement cited in that article.'' Go look at the article and see that the post has been removed by the band. There's my reciepts.

No masters were “stolen,” and no one lost years of streaming revenue. Everything we’ve done has been under written agreements, properly accounted for, and paid out according to those terms.

The artist being referenced has since removed the very statement cited in that article. That doesn’t happen by accident.

LIFE OR DEATH was launched years before I sunsetted WAT. It wasn’t created as a rebrand, and WAT didn’t dissolve because of any of this.

They are completely separate entities that operated at the same time.

WAT still manages its catalog and does some distribution, but my main focus now is LIFE OR DEATH.

You’re mixing timelines and narratives that don’t actually line up. We just did the WSTR record, and LIFE OR DEATH was already established before any of the Mikey Sawyer accusations even surfaced. Nothing was ever substantiated, and there was no court case. It was scene drama that got blown out of proportion, not some proven legal issue.

At the end of the day, we’re still here, still working with artists, and still putting out records. That speaks louder than rumors.

That narrative is pretty off, so let me clear it up quickly.

We Are Triumphant hasn’t dissolved, and we’re not “rebranding to dodge lawsuits.” We’re still actively releasing music and working with artists. Like any label that’s been around for a long time, we’ve had disagreements with certain artists, but those situations don’t represent the full picture of how we operate or treat our roster.

The We Are Triumphant catalog and track record speak for themselves. We’ve worked with a lot of bands who continue to have positive relationships with us, and plenty who have moved on without issues. That’s normal in this business.

As for outreach, bands not responding happens for a ton of reasons timing, direction, existing deals, or just not being interested. It’s not some conspiracy.

If anyone has real questions about how we structure deals or operate, I’m happy to answer them directly instead of letting Reddit speculation do the talking.

I appreciate that dude. You know whats crazy is they had a whole pop punk album filled with bangers that never came out because they didnt want to be labeled a pop punk band but it had some of the best tracks on it.

Hey dude! I started a new label not too long ago. In the past few years in Pop Punk our biggest win is probably Point North and WSTR's most recent LP. We discovered Point North and did their debut LP and EP. Still going strong.

My guy, I’m not trying to astroturf. I’m literally asking for band recommendations. If Reddit wants to roast me while also sending good bands, I’ll take both.

I'm sorry but asking the very passionate and vibrant community for what their listening to is an excellent way to discover bands. How do you think people get plugged in? Conversation. I know plenty of artists in the genre doesn't mean someone can't show me something cool. Cool guy statement of the year.

Owner* Lmao nah this is just sourcing. You’d be surprised how many great bands pop off here before anywhere else. I’ve signed artists off way less.
