Steampunk-scene dominators The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing have come up against a competitor, but no one could have predicted it was going to be heavy weight record label EMI. It seems their first album, released back in 2010, has caught the eye of someone in the international music company, but not in a good way.

The four piece from London found themselves facing a potential legal battle over their debut release entitled 'Now That's What I Call Steampunk! Vol 1' as it's name apparently broke copyright laws. The popular 'Now That's What I Call Music!' series of chart compilation albums, first released in 1983, is owned by EMI and features current pop and dance music. The British label, who list The Beatles and Iron Maiden on their books, planned to sue TMWWNBBFN if they did not change the name within three days of being notified.

As a result the debut is being renamed, as only The Men Who... can, as 'The Steampunk Album! That Cannot Be Named For Legal Reasons'. Copies of the original pressing are selling fast, are limited in number, and are available from their webshop.

Their latest release 'This May Be The Reason Why The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing Cannot Be Killed By Conventional Weapons' is due for release March 12th through their own label Leather Apron.
