Hostage Calm weigh in on Pentimento and label beef

Following Pentimento's free album release today, Panic Records have released a rebuttle statement which prompted some twitter trash talk from Hostage Calm, also formerly signed to the label.

Panic's statement:

"You can believe the spin of Pentimento if you'd like. The band is always the victim in every situation when it comes to band/label disputes and if you side with them and call fowl on Panic Records, that's your choice. Remember there are two sides to every story. I honestly do not care. Pentimento signed a contract and were happy with Panic Records on up until they were offered a deal from another label in which I tried to negotiate the end to their contract so that all parties would be satisfied. Pentimento are the ones that introduced their lawyer into the dealings and I responded with a lawyer as well."

Hostage Calm's Twitter comments:

Panic Records blackmailed, threatened law suit, & screwed over us and countess other bands. Glad it's coming to light. #PanicRecords

Believe me, I was content to let the BS w/Panic pass. We've always kept quiet. But I feel like @pentimentony is legit
