Re: Scott you have to tour

Wind Up really does make bad business decisions. Since day 1, they've been a struggling label with a revolving door for new acts. The thing is, they do a terrible job at promoting them... and what happens is these acts don't sell and Wind Up releases them. There's always been one or two bands that save that the label from completely going under. First it was Creed, now it's Evanescence/Seether. Also, as much as I hate to say this... they're a label for a genre of rock that not many people care about right now. Modern rock/ post-grunge/nu metal's heyday was a good 5 or 6 years ago... now, it's just ridiculed by critics and a lot of people happen to buy into that. A lot of other labels are very hesitant to sign a band from the deep South that's heavily influenced by Nirvana or Pearl Jam. Instead, the new wave of rock is full of bands that find their influences in completely different decades.
