It seems that Live have finally parted ways with Epic Records. While the information isn't confirmed, Live can be no longer be found on the artist page at Epic Records found here:

http://www.epicrecords.com/artists.html?letter=l

To me this is great news, because Epic never supported and terribly mismanaged promotion of Live's latest album, Songs from Black Mountain. They sent Ed on a long promo tour but cut it short two months before the album was finally released. Couple that with frequent album delays, and disjointed touring in the US, Epic ruined any chance for Live to garner sales with their latest album. Throwing them on Red Ink and not capitalizing on an American Idol appearance was the final straw for me as a fan.

Now as let's hope the band sticks together and finds a new label that will show Live more support than they received from the band killer known as Epic Records.

Deumn I wonder wtf Epic are at. They have done terrible with the last albums by LIVE, Oasis and Audioslave, putting the songwriters from the bands on acoustic promo tours that never really worked...I doube tho LIVE will now release an album in 3 years
