Perth band Gyroscope have blasted their former record label Warner Music for releasing a `Best Of` record without their consent or knowledge.
In an email to fans, Daniel Sanders, Zoran Trivic, Brad Campbell and Rob Nassif say they only discovered the album after they read about it on Facebook. “It has just come to our attention that Warner Music are releasing a ‘Best of Gyroscope’ album. We only found out about this release after being notified by our fans on Facebook,” they said.The band had no input whatsoever into the Warner release and say it doesn’t represent good value for their fans. “The song selection, artwork and everything about this release has been done without consultation with the band,” they said. “Gyroscope are a band who have always put our fans first. In our opinion, the release of this album without consultation with the band, and without including any material from our new album ‘Cohesion’, does not represent good value for our fans.
The 15-track ‘The Best Of Gyroscope’ is expected to be released next week and comes just two weeks after Gyroscope debuted at number 3 on the ARIA chart with their 4th studio album ‘Cohesion’.
The previous album ‘Breed Obsession’ was a number one album in Australia in March 2008.
