Tallhart sign to new Max Bemis label

Equal Vision Records and  Say Anything front man Max Bemis have announced the arrival of Rory Records, a label formed by Max as an imprint of EVR. Both parties are extremely excited to welcome Tallhart as the first band signed to the new label.

Bemis released the following statement:

"I am very, very proud to announce that, for the first time, I'll be stepping behind the scenes of music rather than dancing around onstage like a buffoon. I always told myself i wouldn't do such a thing unless I believed in and loved a band to the utmost degree, and if I could find a label partner that I could truly trust and enjoy working with. Well, peeps, that day has come!. Today, we can finally announce that i am forming an imprint within Equal Vision Records, that I'll be running with the help and support of the label, hopefully defining ourselves by a mixture of very eccentric stuff with a broad appeal. The imprint, entitled Rory Records, is signing not only our first band, but the first band to make me flip out enough to want to do this with. They are TALLHART, a brilliant young band from Tampa who can write a stadium rock-level anthem like nobody's business but don't shy away from lovely, dense songwriting. They also put on a sickeningly great live show. To me, they combine the best elements of early U2, Manchester Orchestra and sort of a young Pearl Jam (that last one is a pretty weird call, but I stand by it) : basically smart and brave music rich with swelling, unfiltered feeling. I'll be working closely with them on many aspects of their music and the record, and am extremely excited for the release of their EVR/Rory Records debut EP, as well as getting to formally present them to you on tour this spring with Say Anything. More news of this to come."
