"PT sign to Roadrunner

08-08-2006

Roadrunner Records issued the following press release today:

PORCUPINE TREE JOIN ROADRUNNER FAMILY

Roadrunner Records is delighted to welcome epic rockers PORCUPINE TREE to our family.

Porcupine Tree is unquestionably one of the most difficult-to-categorise and innovative bands out there. The music is breathtaking, ranging from psychedelic trip-hop to progressive metal, and a compendium of other sounds in between.

Evolving from one man’s self-indulgent creative outlet back in 1992, Porcupine Tree has grown into a well respected major-label-signed four-piece who have released several albums. Their most recent, 2005’s ‘Deadwing’, served to further skyrocket the band's renown and they are currently hard at work on a brand new record - set for release on Roadrunner (excluding North America and Japan) in early 2007.

“Porcupine Tree are extremely happy about our new partnership with Roadrunner Records for our forthcoming album,” comments Steven Wilson. “Roadrunner has established itself as one of the world’s premier independent labels for rock music, and we couldn't be more enthusiastic about working with them to expand our audience and elevate Porcupine Tree to the next level.”

Porcupine Tree's next album will be issued by Atlantic Records in North America, and WHD in Japan."

It is interesting to note that Opeth, friends and partners-in-crime of PT, also signed to Roadrunner before releasing their latest, Ghost Reveries, and they have since remained with apparently complete creative control over their music.

Let's hope Porcupine Tree isn't tainted by Roadrunner.

The last thing we need is to hear PT on the radio nonstop:

"We've got a new band here, coming in from Great Britain! This is their single off of their first album!"

Keep in mind though that sign signing just seems to be more for distribution purposes. They're still on Atlantic for North America (and Japan) and I think it's just that Roadrunner is helping them get more releases in other countries. Who knows, though.

Nobody is going to play Porcupine Tree on the radio. Who would want to punish the general population like that?

Roadrunner always takes artists as soon as they get bigger, so this isn't a surprise.

It doesn't matter if PT go to Victory, nothing will stop Steve Willson's awsome-ness. I'm still sore that Maiden and PT will be in town the same day, so I had to choose between them.
