Set Your Goals Seeking Contract Buyout

Posted in Bands on August 18, 2008

Rumors began circulating that Set Your Goals had their contract with Eulogy Recordings bought out for a substantial sum of money.  The rumor was later dismissed by the band, though they have stated they are in the process of buying out their contract with the help of their management.  Vocalist Matt Wilson had this to say:

We made the mistake of being naive the first time around when we signed to Eulogy and it won't happen again. I figure I might as well say all this now since all of my band's inner-workings are already all over this board anyway: the truth is we have many options for our next record and self-releasing is one of the best and a very likely option. This has been discussed within our band and management since the buyout was first brought up. Yes, that's right, our manager is personally offering to buy us out because he has that much faith in our band. There's no promise from a label (though many labels have since caught wind of this and gained interest) and no contract being written up with anyone else waiting to buy us. I know you little shit talkers would love that more than anything but it simply is not the case. Once the buyout contract is all sorted out and everything is finalized, we will be free agents and this time around we know enough not to settle for a contract unless it's under the best possible terms for us.
