Floodgate Records sign new rock team Mourning September.

AMERICAN label Floodgate Records have signed the band Mourning September to their growing roster. The two year old band has been creating a stir in their regional scene in and around Oklahoma, playing with bands as diverse as Blindside, Bowling For Soup, Five Iron Frenzy and the Juliana Theory. "Instantly we became fans of the Mourning September the first time we heard their music. They are just a solid rock band and we kept hearing their name from other artists that had done shows with them," said Tim Taber, president of Floodgate Records. "We really became interested however when we saw the momentum the band had created on their own. Since we are a small label, we need bands that are committed to working hard and being on the road. Mourning September have more than proven themselves with how much success they have achieved around their local area."
