Ether Seeds - Ether Seeds (2003) [w/ Dustin Lowery of Ether Seeds]
MEEPER SEEDS.
Too Easy.
Sometimes albums are made for Roadrunner... and not released?
HUH?! WHAT'S THAT MEAN?!
In the mid 2000s the label was going through a boom and signing lots of bands since Roadrunner had recently been caught by the coyote that was Island Def Jam essentially making the bird a major label with that major label money and a huge mainstream hit with Nickelback.
In 2003, Ether Seeds, was set to release their self titled debut album on Roadrunner Records. The Seeds were a band fronted by Dustin Lowery who was then and still is now brothers to Clint Lowery of Sevendust fame and Corey Lowery who is currently in Seether but did time in Stuck Mojo, Stereomud and others.
The band were signed to the label, recorded the album, and weeks before it was set to release... were dropped! And the album never came out. They weren't the only band on Roadrunner or in the music industry to suffer that fate by any means but certainly one of the more head scratching with not only a strong pedigree but a great record behind it!
Dustin was generous enough to tell us the story of the band's entire life on this episode and while you know the ending, the episodes in between are pretty fascinating.
So save your own life... and listen now!!!
