1980s alternative rockers Too Much Joy are in an awful lot of debt and have (semi) successfully fought to get their digital sales accounted for by Warner Bros.
In a fantastic post by an unnamed member of the band on their official website, they go into great detail of the fight they had to endure to get their digital sales poorly accounted for.In the post they say a Warner staffer told them the label had “to take care of R.E.M. and the Red Hot Chili Peppers first,” and that the $US10,000 missing from their statement is a rounding error that “happens all the time”.
The label even became so blunt as to blurt “Too Much Joy never earned us shit!”
The article includes scanned copies of the band's account.

Here is the band’s video from their 1987 album ‘Green Eggs and Crack’. The song is called ‘Innocents Ablaze’.
