Others like Eulogy have left in the last year or so. Some of the remaining labels (Asian Man, Tribunal, CI, Second Nature, and more) have started a new company already. If anyone is interested you can read the post at PunkNews (http://www.punknews.org/article/34253) and see what appears to be lots of label people commenting on the situation and their relationships with Lumberjack.

Labels were switching even then because of losing money and it not being worth a lawsuit. It IS a bumout about the music industry. Whole new generation, and it actually saddens me.

I mean, I was in a band on HE last year, and even at that point, I was seeing signs. Don't get me wrong, those ARE good bands, but I'm talking about the label itself. There's nothing going on.
