Legal issues

In 2016, Standby Records and Davey Suicide had a public and legal dispute. Suicide released an 11-minute video on Facebook, detailing his experience with Standby Records and alleging that they sabotaged the band's career. The music community rallied behind Suicide, which forced the case into a settlement within the same week of the video's release. Suicide regained his master recordings for Put Our Trust in Suicide EP, Davey Suicide LP, and “World Wide Suicide LP” as well as freedom from the label in exchange for the removal of the viral post.

''Made From Fire''

In March 2017, Davey Suicide released Made From Fire, the first album since the settlement. The album peaked at #24 on the Billboard charts and outsold all of their previous releases on Standby Records.
