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.
Let me find the way
I’m living too and the circumstances I’ve been through
I’ve made a difference, I can’t try to survive
We’re making an impact (so you’re wrong) when we’re being told to get fucked
No room for weakness, I’ll be gone forever
Tomorrow this noose is placed around my neck
reflecting on these past few years been trying to forget
and regretting all these ties, we have to walk away
what I’m trying to say (x2) when I’m dead and buried
dead and buried (x4)
I can’t fight, I can’t fight, I can’t fight
I slipped through the cracks
First verse is gold
I have to admit, I’m kind of glad ADTR hasn’t released any mastered singles yet. Although I’ve heard three songs off CC, they’ve all been like an appetizer to what’s about to come. So pumped!
PLEASE BASED GOD, LET THIS ALBUM LEAK ALREADY.
Hey, I have heard that ADTR has a day off from their tour on the 7October2013 for the court case that has consistently delayed this album. Additionally if the judge can’t reach a decision on ADTR/Victory Records there’s a very strong possibility of another delay on the release date. Victory Records is saying ADTR hasn’t met the contract which they have, and ADTR says otherwise. Furthermore, all memorabilia from Hot Topics and other stores has been pulled by request of band cause they have not been receiving money for such products. Victory is also claiming ADTR didn’t live up to their contract by saying they have not put out 5 studio albums under their label and have put stuff out and sold their products using their own money. That is all I have heard about the band and Victory Records. Any more information I hear I will keep you all informed.
we all have known this for months.

I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR THIS VERSE ALONE ON THE ALBUM.. IT’S SO GOOD
So who else has been blasting all of ADTR’s previous stuff cuz they’re so excited for Common Courtesy?
I’ve listened to WSMFY around 10 times today. Tomorrow will be Homesick, Sunday FTWHH
I HAVE BEEN DOING THE SAME!!!!!!!!
(but in opposite order from first album through to WSMFY)
LEAK!
Well..mayday parades cd finally leaked…but not adtrs :/ 4 damn days left
Jeremy just answered this on tumblr. Hope this puts some people’s minds a little more at rest!
Fans are waiting in anticipation to hear about the lawsuit. Did you go to court or not? You guys have been silent for hours. What’s happening?
The judge decided a day or so before the 2nd that we didn’t need a hearing for him to decide the case…we still haven’t heard from him. We hit him up today and reminded him if we haven’t heard back by Monday the record will be put out as planned.
i don’t think this is a good thing to say to a judge which is deciding if your next album can be released or not. looks like they’re keeping him “under pressure”. If i were them, i wouldn’t say a word and release the album like planned haha
I think it’s smart that they’re making sure to get an answer by then, though. They’re sort of warning that “hey, if you don’t get the verdict to us dude then we’re releasing this for the fans okay? Just so you know.”
THEY WON! LOOK AT POZ!
WE WON THE CORT BATTLE ACCORDING TO POZ. Check out the site. Sorry for no link, I’m on mobile
According to POZ, ADTR won the case, but is it reliable lol ?

Property of Zack is reporting A Day To Remember won their lawsuit.
#ADTRNeverDies
POZ says ADTR won the lawsuit!!!!
Yes!!!! Happy for them!
HOLY SHIT YEAAAAAAH
IS IT ACCEPTABLE THAT I’M CRYING FROM HOW HAPPY I AM?
IS THIS LEGIT?!
IT’S EVERYWHERE! FUCK YEAH
FROM POZ: “PropertyOfZack has just received word from trusted sources that A Day To Remember have officially won their near two-year long court case against Victory Records.”
IN THE SAME MINUTE THAT POZ SAID THAT THEY’VE WON, MY PREORDER HAVE BEEN APPROVED. IS THIS JUST COINCIDENCE?
What do you mean by approved?
How can i explain it? When i bought, i’ve only received an email saying that preordered it. Normal stuff. But my credit card did not notified me about buying it. After POZ’s exclusive about they winning the lawsuit, my credit card send me an email telling me that it’s everything alright with my preorder. Like they’ve approved, and i’m ready to pay when the bill comes. Got it now?
I JUST WENT SKIPPING IN EXCITEMENT TO THE KITCHEN TO MAKE ME A SANDWICH AT 3AM. YES. THIS IS HOW HAPPY I AM!
20 mins later. Still chewing on the sandwich.. why is it taking me so long -.-
Now that they’ve won the lawsuit, I’m expecting an album stream, or a single of some sort, by tomorrow. Is that too much to expect?
i’m expecting EXACTLY the same thing here haha
It makes sense, that’s for sure.
i’m not expecting too much. But a single and tracklist would be AWESOME to make it until tuesday
Happy for them! Looking forward to the album!
Potentially bad news.
AP says ADTR still have to produce 2 more records for Victory. I don’t know how the band feels about this, but I know that they want us to have the CD. I think that, if it’s true, they’ll just release it on victory to make us happy.
“Also, the sole basis for the court’s denial of the injunction was that Victory would not suffer “irreparable harm” that could not be compensated by money damages if the album were to be self released, in that it has ample evidence to prove its damages against the band (in the form of lost profits if ADTR does proceed to self release Common Courtesy)” They won’t release it on victory. the motion was denied
To clarify: Based off of Victory’s lawyer’s statement, A Day To Remember are allowed to self-release Common Courtesy, but Victory may end up receiving the profits from the album if the court further decides that the band owes the label two albums. I think it’s very clear to us right now
Okay I see. Should have read it a few times. They’re allowed to self release it, but Victory may receive profits. Makes sense I guess. But the main thing to take away is CC is almost definitely coming out on the 8th now. Fantastic news!!
A Day To Remember never dies!
Predicting a leak soon, because now they can’t get into legal trouble.
i guess they could even release it earlier then expected with this rulling in their favor
I hope that’s true. But at the same time, wouldn’t be be amazing if it didn’t leak and everyone got to hear the album all at the same time? CC is one of the most hyped albums I’ve ever heard of, and I think it would be cool for everyone to hear it at the same time.
But still, and leak wouldn’t exactly be terrible!
http://propertyofzack.com/post/63128601503/from-victorys-lawyer-adtr-can-self-release-cc-may this will explain any of your questions
basically, Victory won even though they lost. The fans win more than anything because they have nothing to lose in this scenario. ADTR “won” but not really
Goodbye Victory, Hello Common Courtesy!!
CAME HOME FROM MY FRIEND’S HOUSE AFTER PLAYING GUITAR FOR 6 HOURS TO FIND OUT THIS SHIT, I AM SO SO SO SO HAPPY!
Literally ‘bouncing off walls’ excited.
What guitar do you have? Were you playing some ADTR? :P
I’m at chill on the hill and Jeremy just said that 40 hours ago the judge played the release of common courtesy on October 8th!!!
I wasn’t able to post earlier but when I saw it I was freaking ecstatic!!! I’m soooo pumped right now! Are there any official statements up yet? I haven’t been able to check anything til now.
long story short, ADTR won (but not really). they can release CC independently, but Victory may get the profits later on. and ADTR will STILL owe them 2 albums. so its a good thing for the fans, but shitty for the band
