Some of their past artists have lent their approval/excitement. I haven’t seen any disapproval yet but maybe there has been some. It sounds like the problematic accounting and business practices were mainly the fault of the other owner who has slunk away and that people seem to trust the remaining owner.
Speaking more broadly, is it me who has fallen off the radar or has the emo/math rock/Topshelf/Tiny Engines/90s alt-rock revival wave faded a ton over the last 3-5 years? It felt like I had a ton of new music in those genres to listen to every month and a lot of those bands either pivoted to more pop/electronic sounds or haven’t released anything new and I haven’t been in the loop on the new bands.
