Load Records Nixes Release of Final Drunkdriver Album
Friday, April 2nd, 2010
When the harsh, noisy New York band Drunkdriver dissolved last week amid allegations that its drummer, Jeremy Villalobos, has a history of sexual assault, it looked as though its new self-titled record would still be released on April 14 on Load Records. That, anyway, is what the band
wrote on its blog last Friday: It is our finest musical offering and sadly, our last.
It turns out that Load Records has nixed the release, according to the labels
Ben McOsker. Does not make commercial sense at this point, he wrote in an e-mail.
Asked if that decision had to do with the bands break-up, the allegations involving Villalobos, or both, McOsker responded, All of the above.
