history

The StandBy Records label was founded in 2007 by Before Their Eyes guitarist Nick Moore . Since 2008, however, Neil Sheenan, a friend of Moore, has owned the label. The publications are distributed by RED Distribution and Alternative Distribution Alliance .

Some of the best known bands signed to StandBy Records include Black Veil Brides , Emarosa and Before Their Eyes . The label has now also opened a department for urban music . Other well-known performers who are currently under contract with StandBy Records are Modern Day Escape , Picture Me Broken and Farewell, My Love .

On July 27, 2015, the record company signed Andrew De Leon , who was a semi-finalist in the casting format America's Got Talent in 2012.

Litigation

On August 10, 2016, Davey Suicide posted a video on the group's presence on Facebook , in which he gave details about the band's current situation. Davey Suicide accuses the owner of the record company, Neill Sheenan, of breach of contract in this video message . Sheenan did not pay the contract stipulated for the production costs of the second album Worldwide Suicide , nor took over the costs of marketing the band contrary to the contract, so that the musicians had debts of almost 70,000 dollars at times. He also accuses Sheenan of signing new record deals with other groups so that he can give this preference to other groups that are longer under contract with the label.

In this video, Suicide also goes into the backstory of the dispute. After threatening the label with a lawsuit, the label sued the band for breach of contract in order to forestall the band's lawsuit. The trial was originally scheduled for August 2, 2016, but was postponed to February 2017.
