Victory Records and Hawthorne Heights have reached an agreement ending their
litigation. Suit was first brought by the band in 2006 for breach of contract. The label counter-sued, claiming rights to release future albums of the band.

The joint press release issued today by the label, drummer Eron Bucciarelli-Tieger and singer JT Woodruff did not disclose the terms.

The label will release the band's third studio album, "Fragile Future," on Aug. 5.
