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.
Once this leaks, I don’t know if i’ll be able to stop jizzing enough to actually listen to it.
That’s a bit crass…. But it will certainly be a memorable day. But until it leaks, Mayday Parade’s new CD will be playing for me.
I hope everyone takes the time to listen to it.
Well….this is awkward….
I’ve been so stoked for this album since they announced the name. It’s finally almost here. :)
Also, I do sense a leak coming on now that they might owe victory the profits.
does this count as an official statement or..?
also, drew just called POZ “Property of Whack.” I’m guessing the information we heard was somewhat true but wrong in the sense that Victory got something out of it?
This is so exciting!!! 3 more days and it’s out! We will probably have a tracklist soon :)
I sure hope so!
I’m extremely happy that it’s finally coming out. I’m sort of going to miss coming to this page everyday to see what’s up. I’ve been checking this site everyday for the past year and a half for information on this album. The amount of hype that’s built up is impossible to explain for me.
Until it leaks go listen to/check out ADTR’s first ep Halos for Angels,Dirt for the Dead. Crazy to see how far they have come!
Tom without face tattoos and Alex.. wow.
I saw Tom before he had face tats i can barely remember him without them though. Alex was probably like what 15-17 at the time of this pic. It’s strange to think i was 14 when i saw them for the first time in 2007 with less then a hundred people. Its awesome to see how big that they’ve gotten throughout the years even though there show at the roxy in la with less then 500 people was my favorite out of the 4 shows i saw them at this year. CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM!!!!!!
I hate to break it to you but that is Booby Scruggs, their old drummer
No it’s not haha
is there an artwork for Halos for angels, Dirt for the Dead?
Ya i think so or at least this is what I’ve always had http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/de/Halos_for_Angels,_Dirt_for_the_Dead.jpg/220px-Halos_for_Angels,_Dirt_for_the_Dead.jpg
wasnt it Demo 2004? They gave them out at their first shows, the cover had this.

So stoked to hear the news! Hopefully the case regarding their contract goes well! Would hate to see them stuck with victory for any longer. Good news for fans, but to be continued for ADTR…
I swear I’m going to spend the next 3 days searching the internet for any sign of Common Courtesy..
Question:
If the judge ruled ADTR can release the album, how come they have to wait to see if they owe Victory two more albums?
Because ADTR won the money that Victory stole on Merch.
Just got back from hanging out with some friends and i come home to this!!!!! Fuck yes!!!!!! :D
While Victory is disappointed with the ruling, and disagrees with the court’s conclusions, it comes as no surprise. Courts rarely grant negative injunctions of this nature, but the circumstances of this case presented a unique opportunity for such a ruling. Having said that, in denying Victory’s motion, the court’s reasoning actually contained silver linings that significantly favored Victory. First, the court held that it supports Victory’s argument about the construction of the recording contract – that ADTR is still obligated to deliver two more albums to Victory — “at last equally, if not more so, than that offered by ADTR.” That is the core issue in this case and the only one that really matters in the end, so Victory is heartened that the court agreed with Victory’s position on that core issue. 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). That is, even if the band self releases it, Victory is likely to be awarded any profits the band makes on that album, plus additional lost profits suffered by Victory based on the fact that Victory would undeniably do a far better job at marketing the album had Victory released it, which is what Victory is known for and is the reason why ADTR signed with Victory in the first place. In sum, it is a “successful” defeat in a way, and one which Victory welcomed because of the manner in which the Court rendered its opinion.
This case will proceed to trial, and Victory is looking forward to the opportunity to vindicate the baseless claims filed by ADTR.

So what respect have they actually won in? He says that if they self release CC, they’ll have to pay Victory damages, and they will still owe them 2 albums.
In which case, they have to release it on Victory. Nothing else makes sense.
“Plus additional lost profits suffered by Victory based on the fact that Victory would undeniably do a far better job at marketing the album had Victory released it.” I really don’t think, whether the album is self released or not, that they are going to have a problem selling it.
It’s going to sell big just purely because it’s an ADTR album and the anticipation surrounding it. However, it’s not going to sell as much as it would through Victory, because they have the money for Advertisment that ADTR probably don’t.
I wonder if we’ll get a single and tracklist today?
I just want the full album art or the tracklist PLEASE!
I CAN’T STAY VERTICAL!
But can you stay critical? I WON’T LET THIS LIFE GET SO CRITICALLLLLLLLL!
This album, my brain, 24/7.
I just made a connection.
The album art for the re-release of FTWHH, shows the back of a guy who is watching a government building burn…It looks a lot like a court house…just saying.
According to AltPress the band and management release this statement (I can’t find it on their Facebook or anything of the sort but I figured id post here):
A federal judge today ruled that A Day To Remember are free to release their new album Common Courtesy without Victory Records. In an Order issued earlier today, U.S District Court Judge John Z. Lee denied Victory Records’ Motion for a Preliminary Injunction in which Victory had sought to block the band from releasing this new album without Victory’s involvement.
In a statement this evening the band offered: “In May of 2011 we joined the long list of bands that have filed suit against Victory Records. Although our case is still ongoing, we are very pleased with the judge’s decision to allow us to release our next record. The only thing that has mattered to us while dealing with this lawsuit was getting new music to our fans. We are finally going to do that on October 8th and we couldn’t be more excited!”

Don’t ever shut down this website. This is where I get all my music news.
Actually, I would rather get the track list and maybe full artwork (if there is) than a new song right now. I want to save it all for Tuesday. Either wait until Tuesday or stream/leak it now!
3 days left no leak or news, another detox?
I can’t wait till i am driving with the windows down blasting Right Back at it Again!! It’s so close i can feel it in my pants.
Now that they have won the case, there is no chance of a leak. However a track list or a single is very likely!
That actually increases the chance of a leak..
I meant a personal leak. Why would one of the band members leak it if they are free to release it Tuesday? Would only hurt their sales.
Oh, alright. I gotcha.
Didn’t mean to come off as douchey!
Since this is a self release, the chance of a leak has been small this whole time. Leaks usually result from labels handing out press releases to generate hype, then those get leaked. I’m sure the mastered copy of CC is with someone they trust, and is not affiliated with Victory, example: Andrew Wade, Drew Russ etc
I agree 100%, had victory had a copy of Common Courtesy, what do you think the chances would have been that they leaked it?
Here is how I am going to listen to this album for the first time: I will be turning my phone off, turning all the lights off in my house, and cracking it up FULL blast on my computer……paradise.
The whole day I’ve been waiting and hoping for a single.
Just finished drumming to all of Homesick
I play the drums too! *bro-fist*
