You might not have even known that Limp Bizkit still had a record deal, but apparently they have left their label!
Front man Fred Durst revealed during a recent interview that the group has split from their long time record label, Interscope, which put out the band’s first six albums.
On the Poolside with Dean Delray podcast, Durst explained; “One of the things with ‘Gold Cobra’ was that it was a record for us to do for ourselves, for the core fans, for some of the people that we know in the industry.
“It wasn’t our step forward to make a big pop, smash radio record; we just didn’t want to make that record at that time. We have been working for a while now to re-navigate where we are going to take Limp Bizkit and finally we have been able to get off our label and become independent.”
Durst also adds that the band is going to focus more on touring now. Adding, “The record thing sort of kind of always got in our way, but it’s part of the game and we love writing music and it happened that we had some songs that became popular and we never thought that would happen. So with this way, we can still go tour.
“We do very, very good on our touring, and we mainly tour outside the United States. It seems like in the United States, they’re waiting on a song, they’re waiting on a hit, and the rest of the world doesn’t necessarily operate that way. So I’m waiting until we can really give them something they can sink their teeth into and then they can be reminded about how ill (good) Limp Bizkit is live.”
