\"\"<\/a>The Quireboys are the latest band to pull the plug on their Pledge Music campaign they released the following press statement,<\/p>\n

“We’ve been watching this all play out very closely and have tried to work in any way possible with Pledge to arrive at a positive outcome but in reality, we are just not confident that the campaign we entered into with Pledge, will ever be fulfilled or paid and that is something we cant continue to endorse.<\/p>\n

This was all brought to light recently with other key bands (who were also involved in Pledge Campaigns) pointing out that they haven’t been paid or look likely to be. We have recorded and mastered our new album ‘Amazing Disgrace’, we have booked the PR, videos, pressing, we have received nothing and we never will under this platform.<\/p>\n

We have written to Pledge today asking them to officially cancel the campaign and let us know who booked what, once we have that we will be in touch via our label Off Yer Rocka Recordings who have kindly funded our costs in the interim period to keep this incredible recording alive.<\/p>\n

The band Last in Line posted some great advice the other day about cancelling your Pledge booking which you should do immediately. If you didn’t see it, we’ve used some of their words:<\/p>\n

We are told that PledgeMusic\u2019s\u00a0cancellation process has been initiated. The refund process will go through Pledges’ payment processor Bluesnap. Fans can also directly dispute the charge with their credit card company.\u00a0\u00a0At this time our recommendation is that you also log into your PledgeMusic\u00a0account and\u00a0cancel<\/a>\u00a0your order.\u00a0\u00a0We would suggest that you take an additional step of\u00a0contacting your credit card company to request\u00a0buyer protection<\/a>\u00a0and further\u00a0ensure the charges to PledgeMusic are reversed.<\/p>\n

To CANCEL YOUR PLEDGE ORDER:<\/strong><\/p>\n
