Never got into Who Are You Now? but I loved their self-titled and hope they surprise me with whatever is next. Sorry to see them leave FBR.

I figured this would happen or that the band would break up. Make something along the lines of your S/T and OWD and you'll win back so many people guys!

Never really got into these guys but their enthusiasm is truly encouraging and I wish them luck

This band matured in a similar way as HelloGoodbye and I expect to hear something really great coming from them soon. They have a lot of talent and the ability to stand out among a sea of similar acts. Can't wait to hear the direction they go in.

Cool.

Glad they got out while they still could.
I'm kidding. Although I'm pretty sure this could turn out in their advantage.
Stoked for some new music!!! At last.

Great piece of writing. Never got into this band, but I can respect people who know how to express themselves.

I'm not really familiar with their music, but it feels like its a long time coming - Same thing for a few other FBR bands.
Versa obviously aren't getting dropped now, but I wouldn't have been shocked if they did as well.

Starting to look like a trend with FBR bands who wait more than 2.5 years to release an album (minus Paramore)

cannot wait

I mean, they are the only exception...

I can't wait to see what these guys have in store, though. I should probably check out Our Worlds Divorce though since I love the other two albums, but have never heard that one.

seems like the shift in the market from the pop-rock boom from 2007-2009 made those FBR bands inactive and now they are dropping like flies. I feel like ARTTM is the next to blow up with their new album.
The FBR roster is full of bands that have at least some sort of mainstream success: Cobra, Fun., Gym Class Heroes, Paramore, Panic!, Sublime With Rome, and Travie McCoy. Seems like the less likely ones to blow up (TAI..., The Cab, This Providence) were the ones the label wanted to blow up and the inability to see eye to eye led to either a break up or a split from the label. If ARTTM and Versa don't blow up, they are likely to get dropped. I can't see ARTTM not blowing up since they are taking the more Alt Rock/Country/Pop route and they are great at what they do. Versa on the other hand is in jeopardy. I also think The Swellers are safe since they are a band that has an established fan base and a small niche in the now booming pop-punk scene.

Saw it coming. I feel like The Cab went through the same type of thing. Sucks, but I like these guys and I'm glad they're on the Go Radio tour.

i see one sentence in this thread that isn't true.

So....where are the dates?
