Teen metal band Unlocking The Truth want out of Sony contract

Teen metal trio Unlocking The Truth made headlines last year after landing a major-label recording contract with Sony (potentially worth up to $1.7 million, according to the New York Daily News). It seemed too good to be true, and it was: The band are now seeking to get out of their contract with Sony.

Billboard reports:

“Our attorneys are working on our exit from Sony now,” guitarist, songwriter and singer Malcolm Brickhouse said at the March 14 world premiere of Breaking a Monster, a documentary on how the band rose from playing the sidewalks of Times Square to the main stage of Coachella and Vans Warped Tour.

The band’s manager, Alan Sacks, confirmed to Billboard that the band are in the process of leaving but had “no other details” to give.

Unlocking The Truth have yet to release any new music. You can catch them at South By South West this week.
