Royal Bliss signs to Capitol/Virgin Records.
Downtown Records, label home to Gnarls Barkley and Cold War Kids, is planning to partner with Internet entrepreneur Peter Rojas on a new online label venture featuring ad-supported free music.
Warner Music Group released a brief statement stated that it was still considering an offer for EMI.
Relentless touring and a single at radio pays off for Papa Roach…..
Papa Roach began with a slow start with the release of Paramour Sessions moving only 6,000 a week. The record is picking up steam moving 10k a week and now getting 50k plays a day on myspace after the release of the second single ‘Forever’ which is an active rock and fan favorite.
It always feels like somebody’s watching Me: YouTube will test video ID with Time Warner and Walt Disney.
YouTube who has come under fire for copyright infrigement will test a new video identification technology with the largest media companies, including Time Warner Walt Disney. The technology, developed by engineers will help content owners such as movie and TV studios identify videos uploaded to the site without the copyright owner’s
permission.
I know i have read everywhere that Papa Roach has sold out etc. But the first time i listen to the song “forever” i knew it was going to take off.Why you ask?It’s simple,the song is loaded with hooks and is easy to sing along with and not to forget a great song!
Hope Papa Roach continues to write music like “forever” they will be selling out arenas on their own headline tour with solid tracks like “forever”.
Another solid rock song takes off running and the Labels still don’t get it….or do they get it and just don’t want to spend the $$$ on good bands and stick to the same formula… Cheap band + lots of small club tours = gold albums if they are lucky.
the song “time is running out” is the best song off PRoachs album. When that song hits radio, myspace, and TV, PLATINUM!

Dang royal bliss is a good band> I wonder who hit thier head at the label made the mistake of signing a band worth listening to:)
Love the Papa Roach. Great rock band with great song writing. I don’t care what label/genre you put ‘em in – they are a great band and will continue to have success.
I wish there was more music like this out there…not a huge ‘Forever’ fan though. “Crash” is a sick track though.
