Rock/metalcore band Atreyu have left longtime label Victory Records and signed an exclusive recording agreement with Hollywood Records, current home of Sparta and Plain White T's, among others.

Atreyu lead singer Alex Varkatzas commented, "As a group of friends playing music our main goal is to grow and spread our brand of metallic rock around the world. We try to progress and grow on each album we record. We feel that Hollywood Records is the perfect place to continue to grow, while maintaining our freedom to do whatever the hell we want with our songs. We look forward to our future with Hollywood, they have shown a real interest in us for quite a while. To put it simply, they are down for us and we are down for them. C ya in the pit."

The band are still touring in support of this year's A Death-grip On Yesterday, with their headlining tour kicking off this Friday in San Diego (dates). There is no word on when the band will begin writing or recording their Hollywood debut, nor when it may be coming out.
