One Liners: Soundgarden, Diplo, National Album Day, more
After being given a 24 hour deadline to withdraw from the class action lawsuit over the 2008 Universal archive fire, Soundgarden have refused. Their attorney, Howard King, tells Rolling Stone: “Arbitrary deadlines [from Universal’s lawyers] have zero force or effect. Until UMG reveals what it collected for their litigation claims to extensive damage to master recordings, we cannot accept their belated claim that no damages were actually suffered”.
Diplo has announced the launch of a new house label, Higher Ground. Its first release will be ‘Rave Grave’ by Walker & Royce on 25 Sep. “House is where it all came from”, says the producer. “Everything we know and love as dance music today started with the masters in Chicago and Detroit almost forty years ago. The genre has always been incredibly important to me, and Higher Ground is our homage to the legends and opportunity to champion new sounds and artists from around the world pushing the genre forward”.
In the run up to National Album Day look out for album-themed exhibitions in the following UK railway stations: Glasgow Central, Manchester Piccadilly, Birmingham New Street and London Bridge. Why? What do you mean “why”? How the fuck should I know?
Sentric Music has promoted Simon Pursehouse to Global Director Of Music Services and Sabine Douglas to Head Of Business Operations. Meanwhile, the company has also hired Ashley Smith as Finance Manager and Luke Montague as Royalty Manager. “These latest staff promotions and additions will bolster our growth and ensure our clients continue to receive excellent creative and business support across the board”, says CEO Chris Meehan.

Cigarettes After Sex will release their second album, ‘Cry’, on 25 Oct. Out now, first single ‘Heavenly’ is “inspired by the overwhelming beauty I felt watching an endless sunset on a secluded beach in Latvia one summer night”, according to frontman Greg Gonzalez.
