Back in October, we told you that Fearless Records formed a sister label, Old Friends Records. Now, Old Friends Records have announced their first signing, and it’s a pretty big one: Hellogoodbye.

The band issued a post confirming the signing, mentioning that they were, in fact, old friends with Old Friends Records. Their upcoming album is scheduled for an April 2013 release, with a deluxe version of Would It Kill You? being released on iTunes on December 18.

“We’ve had some exciting news in our pockets for a while over here at hellogoodbye: our next full length record (which we’re about halfway through tracking with producer Joe Chiccarelli) will be released next year by the new label Old Friends Records!
Not since we released our first high school demo cassette on ‘Awkward Teenagers singing about Dawson’s Creek Records’ have we been involved with such a serendipitously named record label! Back when I was an awkward teen singing about Dawson’s Creek, I worked at the offices with the good folks at Old Friends.
It rules to be circling back around with good people and we’ve got a bunch of great stuff on the horizon like: a Would It Kill You? re-release (special vinyl and a live acoustic party set bundle) &: this new record, which is shaping up to be my favorite bit of work I’ve tackled! So much more to come!”

“The band is currently in the studio with multi-Grammy award winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, The White Stripes, St Strokes, My Morning Jacket, Jason Mraz), recording their next full-length record, slated for release in April 2013. In the meantime, the digital deluxe edition of ‘Would It Kill You?’, loaded with new bonus material, will be available via iTunes on December 18th followed by a physical reissue & limited edition vinyl pressings at the beginning of 2013. See more details about the digital reissue at the http://oldfriendsrecords.com/ website.”

I finished school with a music theory degree. Before I finished school, I was a janitor. You really should apologize to all the janitors you've ever had. You hurt them. Seriously. You did.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
