Paul Meany, formerly of the Christian act Earthsuit, founded Mute Math. All their members are openly Christians. The rock act also plays Christian festivals and tours with other Christian acts. Despite all these facts, last September Mute Math filed suit against Warner Bros Records and Word Records, according to an article posted March 6 on AOL News. The problem is that Mute Math does not want to be attached to a Christian label. Meany said he never wanted their EP to be released by Word records. "It was just assumed that because that's where I once was, that was where I was always going to be, I had no desire to be the Christian version of a real band." Meany's attorney Kevin Kookogey said they released the EP under the impression it would not carry the Word name.
