Pete Wentz ‘expands’ label, confirms new signings
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 24 June 2014
Pete Wentz has expanded and rebranded his Decaydence label, renaming it DCD2, and also confirmed two new signings. Joining flagship acts – like Panic! At The Disco, Travie McCoy and, obvs, Fall Out Boy – are Denmark band New Politics and Brooklyn electro-pop singer Lolo.
Billing the DCD2 aesthetic as emphasising the different and the diverse, Wentz tells Noisey: “Really it’s about finding music again, and, with rebranding, it’s us saying that it’s not going to be a legacy thing. It’s not going to be the artists that we’ve worked with before. It’s going to be about new music and new art and new ideas”.
He adds re the new signees: “New Politics is a band that we might have worked with before. They could sit in the lane. I think Lolo’s outside of that. She’s interesting and definitely something that’s not in our lane.
And: “And now more than ever, kids are open to listening to different songs that they like. And that’s something we’ve always wanted to embrace. To be able to come back and embrace that is very important”.
