Sony Incubus feud rolls on

Incubus are seeking to exit their Epic contract in Los Angeles, while Sony has sued in New York to force delivery of the seven albums the deal requires.

The Sony / Incubus feud is developing well. As reported on Monday the band are hoping to get out of their contract with Sony label Epic – claiming they have fulfilled all their obligations to the label even though they have only recorded three of the seven albums included in the original contract signed seven years ago. The band's management are relying on an LA law which says entertainment companies can only hold artists to a seven year exclusivity deal.

In response to the band's legal action in LA, Sony have launched a legal campaign in New York asking the courts to force the band to deliver those seven albums as per the original contract claiming they could lose tens of millions of dollars if the band are allowed to drop out of their obligations.

In response fans of the band have started a 'Free Incubus' campaign – selling 'Free Incubus' t-shirts via www.cafeshops.com/incublue.
