The Ataris Sign To Columbia Records!

"The Ataris have signed with Columbia Records despite previously claiming that such a move would be hugely unlikely for them. Frontman Kris Roe told Kerrang! last January: "We want our band to be as stripped down and personal as it could be. We don't think a major label would ever understand what we're about". The surprise decision was made by the Santa Barbara quartet after their contract with Kung Fu Records finished. The love-lorn pop-punkers are currently on America's extensive Warped Tour despite the departure of guitarist Marco Pena earlier this month." How disturbing. Click on that Columbia link and it's a picture of the evil Mecha-Streisand. This kind of news always gets a ton of comments. Here's the link to Kerrang's news article by the way. No official word other than this... - Shindo
