HASTE Part Ways With CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS

August 19, 2005

Birmingham, Alabama's HASTE have parted ways with longtime label Century Media Records. "We officially have no label whatsoever," guitarist Nick Brunson writes in a statement. "It's been a long hard road but we finally made it... we have been dropped. It was an amicable parting on both halves. We haven't made Century enough of the green and they just can't justify spending more cash on a band that won't bring home the butter (we haven't exactly been the most active band in the world in the last year or so either). We appreciate all the time and effort that everyone there has given to us. There are some really hard-working and genuine people over there (which is a rarity in the music business) and overall our experience with Century has been very positive. We have made some great friends over at ol' Century and wish them the best of luck with all their future projects...

"So with all that said, we tip our hats, throw up the horns and say good-bye to everyone at Century Media...we'll talk to you guys and gals soon (or when we need to order some more records)."

"We'll keep everyone posted on the label situation but until then we're gonna keep writing some new tunes (big surprise, huh)."

HASTE's third full-length release, "The Mercury Lift", came out in 2003.
