Fin Power from Stone detailing how the band was signed with a major record label who then tried to change their sound and image, change the way they interacted with fans. who wouldn’t let them write on their own without professional songwriters or even release an album, initially - 9/5/25
(the label he doesn’t name is Polydor under UMG. the artist he doesn’t name is Raye, whose album the same label refused to let her release for seven years despite her 4 album record deal.)
additional instagram stories under the cut :
