Miss Fortune discuss their future and debut new side project

MissFortune-ASparkToBelieve-header

Miss Fortune have posted a lengthy update to their Facebook page announcing that they are a fully independent band without a record label (the band was dropped from Sumerian Records in October after front man Mikey Sawyer was arrested on domestic assault charges.) While Sawyer has been exonerated, the band still remains without a label. Since being dropped, Sawyer and Miss Fortune’s guitarist Josh Kikta have started a new side project called Northern Lights. You can listen to a teaser from the new project at their Facebook page and read the announcement below.

We know you guys have been anxious for an update on what’s going on with Miss Fortuneand now is the time!

In spite of everything that’s happened to our band over the past few months, it has not kept us from pushing forward with our musical goals and dreams.
When we first started Miss Fortune, we always wanted to write and create heavy music like our debut single, “The Double Threat of Danger”.
As time went on, we re-assessed our goals as a band and made the decision as a team to pursue the Alternative Rock sound you hear today.

With that being said, Mikey Sawyer and Josh Kikta of Miss Fortune have started a new side-project called Northern Lights where they will be exclusively writing heavy music; including scrapped songs from the first Miss Fortune album.

Miss Fortune will continue writing our sophomore follow up to “A Spark To Believe” throughout 2015 while we continue to figure out the future of our band.
To elaborate, we are now an Independent act, free of any record label constraints, so we’re taking this time to finalize some negotiations and put some real time into creating an amazing second album.

Please don’t get confused, this is not a departure update!
Northern Lights is just our way of making it up to you guys while we get things figured out. Mikey & Josh are just as committed to MF as ever.

Northern Lights has entered the studio with Cameron Mizell (Memphis May Fire, Sleeping with Sirens) to produce our debut single, “Ashamed” (teaser below).

We are very proud to announce that we’ve signed with Eric Rushing and Mike Milford at The Artery Foundation for management!
