V2“Sheridan Square has basically shuttered its frontline V2 record business as part of restructuring to focus on its catalog releases and the future opportunities presented by digital distribution……As part of that move, the company will retain the White Stripes catalog, but will no longer issue new music by the duo or other frontline artists such as Moby or the Raconteurs, sources say.” [Billboard]

White Stripes“Indianapolis band Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos are leaving V2 Records and fielding offers from new labels.” [MOKB]

“V2 was the home to a number of acts that we cover, including Gang Of Four, the Blood Brothers, the Adored, Sugarcult, Burning Brides and the Icarus Line. The label recently made headlines by signing wildly popular punk act the Alkaline Trio.” [Punk News]

“Where does that leave the Langhorne Slim full length that was due out early this year? Or the new Mooney Suzuki that was due at the end of the month?” [diablojesus]
