Topshelf Records Ends Partnership with Ekko Astral

In a surprising move, Topshelf Records has announced that they can no longer support Ekko Astral, a DC punk group. This decision comes after a series of events, including the band's lead singer Jael Holzman filing a peace order protection against drummer Miri Tyler, who had previously announced her departure from the band.

The band's sophomore album, 'the beltway is burning', was set to be released in April through Topshelf Records. However, the label has now decided to end their partnership with Ekko Astral, citing that they can no longer support the band.

Ekko Astral has responded to this news, stating that they will release their new album independently. This decision marks a significant shift for the band, who had previously relied on Topshelf Records for their music releases.

The exact reasons behind Topshelf Records' decision to end their partnership with Ekko Astral are unclear. However, it is evident that the band's internal struggles have had a significant impact on their music career.
