A Day to Remember from Florida formed in 2003 and are being described as a metalcore/pop-punk/rock band. The bands current line-up include Jeremy McKinnon, Neil Westfall, Josh Woodard, Alex Shelnutt and Kevin Skaff. The band is set to release their new album "Common Courtesy" October the 8th.
An album which have seen a lot of delays. Common Courtesy was announced by the band with a countdown included. Once the countdown hit zero, first single "Violence (Enough Is Enough)" was released. This was back in December and since there's been a lot of speculation when the album actually will be released. On March 18th, Jeremy McKinnon, announced on Twitter that "Common Courtesy is officially tracked! Now, onward to mixing.". Still no official track list.
The band announced Friday night at a show in Michigan that the judge ruled that they could release their album October 8, without Victory. Here is the live video of that announcement.

It seems as if Jeremy and the rest of the guys don’t give a fuck anymore and are putting the record out no matter what. THAT right there, is some good shit. Down with Victory!
Jeremy did a huge interview with AP (sadly it’s only text and no video.. here are some important parts) :
“I’m not going to let someone sit on my career and ruin our album.”
“Maybe people will think we are cool because we didn’t try to sit on our album and make a bunch of money. I hope people understand that when this comes out, we will be in a weird position as a band. That doesn’t matter to us. All that matters to us is just playing music! We never started playing music to make money. We never started any of this for any other reason other than we love the music and we love what we do. We love this band that we created, and we love playing shows. We love to make people laugh and not take ourselves too seriously. People can actually find meaning in our songs, and that is so much more important to me than money. I think that is why we’ve been so successful. People need the realness in all of this stuff and to see that it’s genuine. I don’t think any of this will matter if people like the music, and hopefully, they do. We’re going to get it to them as soon as we physically can.”
I’m so proud of Jeremy, Josh, Kevin, Neil, Alex, Tom, Big Boss, Chad, Drew, and anybody else who helped make this album. A lot of bands would just give up and say, “fuck it, we’re done,” but not these guys. That says a lot about who they are.
” We announced that we were going to put out the album, and immediately, someone tried to take that from us. We knew that we had to, though. If we don’t put it out, it could end our career.”
Like Philip said, that right there was just a punch to the stomach, I don’t know about the rest of you guys. Those last 5 words…. damn. They also talk about the album later on in the interview. I’ll leave the rest for you guys. They are releasing this album no matter what. They won’t be held back, they can’t be held down.

Click the continue reading button at the bottom of the page once you get there.
The saddest part about that interview is how he said Victory could possibly end there career. Man I feel so bummed out about that.
I think we should all tweet at Tony Brummel until he decides to jump off a fucking cliff.. wait never mind he is too much of a bitch to have a twitter
I’m going to buy this album more than once and get as many people ADTR fans or not to show them some support. They deserve it I wanna see the little guy come out on top for once.
Are we gonna be able to buy this album? I’m really not so sure right now.
To be honest If it does get delayed again I do understand and wont be mad that interview really gives a new perspective on the whole thing.
I’d say it might be put on bandcamp and you pay your own price or it becomes free. I will find a pay to pay them somehow.
I’m gonna get all of their addresses and send them my bank account for this shit
Really wanna see them come out on top over Victory. I think people who hate Victory will come out and support them anyways even if they aren’t ADTR fans.
And there are still gonna be people calling them sellouts after all of this..
That interview screams everything but sellout.. So sincere and I like his attitude towards how It’s about music nothing else.
Couldn’t have said it better.. and I can’t be anymore proud of them
We’re under a month’s wait boys!
4 weeks left.
If you think about it this really sucks but if victory wants to be assholes like this fuck em let the lawsuit go through release the album anyway put it under a different name victory has contract with a day to remember put it out under a different name and continue the fight and then re-release it when a good record company comes their way then victory can see how bad they fucked up they have a chance to makes millions with all the hype this is drawing in it’s all about a dollar amount with them ADTR just wants to play the music and do it for the fans it’s pathetic what’s it’s come down to and I don’t blame Jeremy for saying the things he said if the album is leaked there is nothing victory can really do about it… They may have announced a date but it’s really not official leak it on another day to fans it’s not going against contract if the money is not directed towards them like you guys said we can pay directly toward Jeremy or Kevin etc. it doesn’t need to be put on a cd stream it I’m all about this album coming out but if we have to wait I’m gonna support them no matter what ill wait because I know what potential these guys have and I know this album is gonna kill it so I know I can speak for all of ADTR fans and say FUCK VICTORY thanks for keeping amazing music from great people and thanks for trying to destroy a great band no matter what they will keep making music and what they make won’t be going into your pocket for being collective rich assholes that really don’t seem like you know shit about music and what it means!!!!!
Sorry guys had to vent I hate record companies ESP ones that hurt good bands
I still love you Victory!!!
lol jks. :P
I reckon ADTR should go back to Indianola to release Common Courtesy. :P
Seriously though, if/when they break away from Victory, They should go to Epitaph. Could you imagine, Parkway Drive, Bring Me The Horizon, Skip The Foreplay, The Ghost Inside, Bad Religion and then ADTR…the tours would be amazing!!!!!!!
did u forget falling in reverse sry?”’?1!!’!!11!
(p.s. just joking)
lmao falling in reverse hahahaha
Epitaph would help them bring out their heavier side too, since that’s their bag really.
Well guys, someone asked on Neil’s twitter “Are you guys gonna play songs from CC on the House Party Tour?” And He replied “Yup!”. Not too much of a surprise but at least it’s verification.
I’m just worried that when they get away from Victory, no other labels will want them.
Who wouldn’t want one of the biggest pop punk/metalcore bands around?
Ones that can’t afford them
True, but I think you get my point.
ADTR are fighting against their label right now though, I hope they don’t end up leaving and the other labels go “No, why would we sign you, you’d just try to sue us” because that could happen. I think that’s why Jeremy said in AP that he is worried right now. He knows that the other labels might see them as troublemakers or something.
Sure, they have reason to fight against Victory, but still…
But… A very wise man once said: “I can’t live my life always backing down, I gotta do this right then they can’t make a sound. I’m not here for nothing. At least I can say I stand for something!!”
It sucks cause not only is Victory fighting to not pay ADTR, but they also want them to release this album on their label so the can make more money from the band.
Adtr did sign the contract though. If for example you sign a 4 album deal, that doesn’t mean you get to release 4 albums, that means the label retains the right to chose whether to release those albums or not, until those 4 albums are released or victory says otherwise they’re contractually obliged to release this album and any other albums left on the contract through victory. It would be breach of contract otherwise
They made up their minds. They signed ‘3, 4, 5’ on the dotted line.
Victory will be The Downfall of Them All.
That’s true, but it’s a different story when the label you have a contract with stops paying you.
Labels don’t have to pay a penny until their outgoings (funding recording/mixing/mastering, cover artwork artists, photographers, manufacture of cd’s, delivery of cd’s, itunes/spotify costs, press, advertising, videos, touring(these are only a few examples)) are fully recovered, maybe instead of blaming victory you should be blaming everyone who illegally downloaded the album and cost victory and adtr their money.
Alright guys… What are your thoughts… Do I look up the setlist tonight or no? I’m going to their Orlando show the last date of the tour (10/24) so part of me wants to be surprised since I know that I know all of their songs but at the same time idk if I can wait that long… I almost always look up setlists ahead of time but this time I’m thinking about passing on that. Idk though haha
Part of me is just like I want to know!!! Like Jeremy posted a picture that made me think they might play 1958… It’s stuff like that I’m like I wanna know! Haha
definitely look at it man. they might play a new one!!
I’m not from America so I’m gonna be looking it up to see if they play new songs. I can let you know if they play new songs if you want and then leave all the other older songs a surprise for you?
Yeah do that please. That’d be nice. Thanks
Try and avoid it. I have the same dilemma every time I see a band I really really like live. When I saw Slipknot at Download Festival I couldn’t resist looking up the setlist and it spoiled the surprise of seeing them open with Disasterpiece. If they play your favourite song, you want to be surprised.
In fact, I saw ADTR at Download and they had been dropping Mr Highway from the set at the previous shows so I didn’t think they’d play it.
I lost my shit when Jeremy went “This is the heaviest song in our set, so go crazy, this is Mr Highway’s Thinking About The End!!”
I. WENT. CRAZY. A surprise like that is invaluable.
Bottom line is that they are releasing the album on October 8th. House Party Tour starts tonight people. TIME TO HEAR SOME NEW ADTR!
Is there a live feed i can get at the show tonight in Denver, Colorado? lol
is there a live feed for this Denver show?
I am praying to god that someone with a decent camera will record the full set lmao
Me too and hopefully someone gets a clip of a new song up on the internet as soon as possible it’s 4am were I live right now and I don’t wanna sleep until i hear some new stuff.
So…this is the setlist they’ve just played…

Holy fuck they’re playing This is The House That Doubt Built. And The Danger In Starting a Fire.
And You Be Tails, I’ll Be Sonic.
AND IT’S COMPLICATED.
AND HEARTLESS.
PLEASE I NEED TICKETS TO THIS HOLY FUCK.
That setlist is missing Have Faith In Me too.
Meh, I can take or leave that song.
It’s really missing Colder Than My Heart If You Can Imagine, You Should Have Killed Me When You Had The Chance and A Second Glance imo, but it’s still a KILLER setlist. Those songs would make it perfect. If you took out You Had Me At Hello, Better Off This Way and Over My Head, and put those in…
Oh my God don’t even make me think about it…
dead & buried mates. my cup of tea and me both feel blown away.

This song is hands down fucking amazing. Got me so stoked like even moreso than I already was. If half the songs are as good as this, it’ll easily be their best album put out.
