Texan noisemongers - noisemongers? - ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are to launch their own record label, Richter Scale, in association with Universal's Justice Records.

The first album on Richter Scale should be the band's own new record, scheduled for a January release. The partnership sees the band stay friendly with Universal - they were previously signed to Interscope, part of the group.

As for the new album, the band have said they're "creating a more anthemic record" than what's come before. Find a video diary on developments here.

Anthemic?

I wonder what this means... I hope it doesn't mean it sounds a bit like them trying to be the Beatles again..

Richter scale?

Back to their roots then...

Their website and album covers are fairly horrible in a 'must roll 13 or higher on my twenty sided dice' stylee...

Launch their own label?

Does that mean they're gonna give up being in this dull band and get like 9-5 jobs? Sorting out MCPS statements and chasing label copy and Metadata for digital singles? Approving TPs and placing ads in Plan B and Artrocker? Or is this, like most bands 'labels' some kind of dull sham for for a few half baked crap bands that they've met on tour/and or are mates that'll fizzle out when they get their first annual P&L balance sheet? Call me a cynic...(you're a cynic).
