Century Media Records being sued

Century Media Records, home to the likes of New Years Day and the Pretty Reckless are being sued by another label, Britans Earache Records which claim that Century owes them $250,000 in licensing fees.

The two labels originally announced their partnership one year ago with a three-year distribution deal, where Century Media would take over all distribution of Earache’s physical products in the U.S., as well as assist with marketing and sales.

Earache also claims that Century allegedly overstepped their role as distributor, using album artwork and setting release dates without Earache’s approval.
