US easycore punks Set Your Goals have spoken out against their former record label Eulogy Recordings.

In an interview with Lambgoat, vocalist Matt Wilson discussed how no royalties were paid to the band from their debut album 'Mutiny!'. According to Wilson, "Eulogy was also contracted to pay us around $1 per item sold, which we never got a dime of either".

He went on to comment on Epitaph Records buying out the rest of Set Your Goals' contract, but said the following about leaving Eulogy.

"There was a clause in the contract that stated we could not pursue legal action in search of any money owed by Eulogy, royalties or otherwise, or something to that effect. John knew how badly we wanted off his label and he knew that we were going to do whatever it took, so he decided to make sure things were all covered on his end. Nowadays this is the most aggravating part for me because it would've felt great to audit him, but in the end the band's future was more important than getting paid what we were owed."

In terms of the band's future, Wilson said that the band is still 'receptive to the idea of playing shows again'. Late last year it was posted on their Facebook that Set Your Goals are "laying low for a while".
