Controversies with bands

After the band Hopesfall announced its dissolution in early 2008, she began Trustkill Records to criticize vehemently: "This indeed is not the reason for our resolution, but we hate Trustkill and the owner. " Also, would the record company songs from the album Magnetic North after it had been mixed and mastered deleted.

This declined Trustkill Records, a little later still appeared a reissue of the album, but with bonus tracks and a bonus DVD of the band supposedly knew nothing about. In addition, there was trouble because Trustkill Records took over only 25 % of the production costs of the current album Declaration.

Almost a year after it held the belt as necessary, "Secrets from the long-standing collaboration with Josh grave Elle divulge "; the label owe Throwdown " thousands of dollars" for " sold unpaid royalties CDs " and had quite a history of unpaid royalties. The band also stated that the beginning of the contract with Trustkill was very positive, however, numerous problems have changed their minds over the years. 2006, the band had to cancel several appearances at the Warped Tour, because Trustkill would not have paid the bus driver.
