The Dears Sign Dangerous Deal was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (Dangerbird) Dangerbird Records and Dangerbird Management have just signed critically acclaimed, Montreal band The Dears to their label and management roster. Missiles, the fourth LP from the orchestral-pop outfit, will be released via Dangerbird Records worldwide, starting October 21 in the U.S. and October 20 in the U.K. and Australia. Maple Records will release the album in Canada simultaneously with the U.S., with additional international territory releases to follow.Adding a veteran act to their burgeoning roster is a first for the Dangerbird collective. "The Dears make my heart stop. Murray Lightburn says things I wish I knew how to say. That's the kind of stuff that gets me up in the morning as a music fan and an entrepreneur," explains Jeff Castelaz who, with partner Peter Walker, co-founded Dangerbird. He adds: "Peter and I had to have the Dears on Dangerbird. The Dears have something to prove and Dangerbird has something to prove. We're both in mid-swing. This is how and when we want to sign an artist in the middle of their artistic arc. It plays to our strengths."
