: This is a Punkbands.com message! You can read the hole statement by Vagrant Records owner Rich Egan here. For all of you, who have not much time: Vagrant has entered into a distribution deal with JCOR Records, an independent label. The company that distributes JCOR is Universal. Hence, Vagrant's releases will now reach the stores via Universal distribution. Universal will have absolutely no ownership of Vagrant products, the company, the masters, the bands or the future rights to the bands. You will not see Vagrant bands doing one album with us and then moving "up" to a Universal label (as at Drive-Thru-Records).
