Hellogoodbye sign with Old Friends Records

Old Friends Records, Fearless' sister label, have announced that their first official signing is Hellogoodbye.

Frontman Forrest Kline posted the following statement on the band’s website:

"We’ve had some exciting news in our pockets for a while over here at hellogoodbye: our next full length record (which we’re about halfway through tracking with producer Joe Chiccarelli) will be released next year by the new label Old Friends Records! Not since we released our first high school demo cassette on ‘Awkward Teenagers singing about Dawson’s Creek Records’ have we been involved with such a serendipitously named record label! Back when I was an awkward teen singing about Dawson’s Creek, I worked at the offices with the good folks at Old Friends. It rules to be circling back around with good people and we’ve got a bunch of great stuff on the horizon like: a Would It Kill You? re-release (special vinyl and a live acoustic party set bundle) &: this new record, which is shaping up to be my favorite bit of work I’ve tackled! So much more to come!"

On December 18, Old Friends Records will reissue the band’s second full length studio album Would It Kill You? as a digital deluxe edition, featuring three live tracks from Daytrotter's Barnstormer Tour and the previously unreleased B-side ‘Not Ever Coming Home’.

The band is currently in the studio with multi-Grammy Award winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, The White Stripes, The Strokes, My Morning Jacket, Jason Mraz), recording a new full length record, due for an April 2013 release.
