… And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead main man Conrad Keeley has launched as scathing attack on his band’s former label Interscope Records.
The band have recently parted ways with the imprint having released their last three albums with them, including their latest tour-de-force ‘So Divided.’
However, it appears the parting was not very amicable, with Keeley using a blog post to take a swipe at the label and its staff.
Clearly frustrated by the apparent lack of publicity the label gave Trail of Dead, Keeley wrote: "At the expense of a massive debt to them of half a million dollars, they really helped us to grow.
“They've taught us about the worthlessness of A&R people, how to yell at idiots running an art department, and how to shake hands with smiling retailers who have no idea who you are. Furthermore, their idea of marketing (was) keeping it a secret that we'd released a record."
According to Pitchfork, Keeley has also slammed label head Jimmy Iovine for his links to troubled producer Phil Spector and his dating records with “the lead singer guy of the Pussycat Dolls.”
He joked: "He's had a great dating record, he just won't have the next TOD record."
