Warners affiliated label 679 have told the Sun they are dropping the Polyphonic Spree because the group – despite have loads of media buzz and a dedicated following for their live shows – have failed to sell enough records. But a spokesman for the band felt that accusation was untrue when speaking to the BBC – he said: "Their album has already sold 80 to 85,000 copies. Plus it is not their job to sell records, it is their job to record and tour them."
Said spokesman added that the Spree were close to completing their second album and that frontman Tim DeLaughter was already in talks with other labels.
679's decision isn't thought to affect the Spree's US record deal with Hollywood Records – also a Warners affiliate.
