As yet another example of a band that’s been worked and spit out by a major label, The Explosion have announced that Virgin Records has released them from their contract. The band was expected to release their new album Bury Me Standing sometime in the spring. The band made the announcement on their Myspace today. Luckily, Virgin returned the album and the band is looking for another label to put it out.

The band only released one studio album with Virgin, Black Tape (2004), and a barely distributed live album, Live In Boston, in 2005.

My somewhat obvious prediction on where they’ll end up? Survey says…. Side One Dummy; The fall-back, comforting girlfriend to all those bands used up by the glitzy, ditzy, major label whores.
