meth. have newly issued a full statement regarding themselves recently being kicked off their planned spring U.S. tour with Dragged Into Sunlight. The issue at hand for Dragged Into Sunlight is meth.‘s association with Prosthetic Records, a label Dragged Into Sunlight themselves had previously been aligned with.
Back in 2019, Dragged Into Sunlight publicly eviscerated Prosthetic Records, alleging the label engaged in financial mismanagement and fostered a hostile relationship with the band during their decade run together. meth., who themselves are no longer a part of the label’s roster, stated of the matter:
“With apologies to our fans who had brought tickets and were looking forward to seeing us supporting DIS on their US tour DIS have decided to kick us off the tour; purely on the basis our last album being released by Prosthetic Records, who they don’t like.
Our album ‘Shame‘ was released by Prosthetic in February 2024 which DIS’s manager cannot have been unaware of when he directly offered the tour to us (bypassing our booking agent). We then proceeded to confirm the tour, send through promo assests to DIS’s team and subsequently be announced on the tour over a month ago.
We cannot fathom why now out of the blue they have discovered we were on a label they do not want to be associated with. A label they’re aware we’re not even on anymore. This just shows very poor professionalism, lax standards and an inability to perform even minuscule due dilligence on the parts of DIS, and their team Tone Management.
This has obviously had a ripple effect on our finances and we need all the help we can get with funding our European tour. If you’d like to support please checkout our Hello Merch store.
We look forward to seeing you all in Europe. At this time, there are no plans to tour in the US for the foreseeable future.”
