Well it depends whose perspective you see this from, the fan's or the artist's.
Personally, being Billy Werner, I'd want to go as big as possible, to be able to say to sites like There is No Happy Here "HAHAHAHA Look What I Did!!!!!!!"

they still on level-plane or what? guarentee itll go pop and the music will go downhill. its happened o so many times...

whatever though, not my call.

Eh, maybe. I mean Equal Vision has The Sound of Animals Fighting I don't think they're afraid of releasing something that scensters won't like.

I really doubt it, equal vision isn't the kind of label to discourage a hardcore sound they have Good Clean Fun. I really don't think Hot Cross would ditch their sound either, Equal Vision isn't some major scene you must sell out label.

Ya but still...I'd hate to see a good band like Hot Cross suddenly bail because of a label switch.

Versus The Mirror is on equal vision. not really a bad label at a glance. So I take it back, they should fair quite well.

Circa Survive is on Equal Vision too.

I'd say it's safe to say that EV won't change their sound.
