Kurt Vile Expands Publishing Deal With Third Side Music
The company has administered Vile's works since 2015.
Kurt Vile has extended his publishing deal with Third Side Music, the company confirmed Thursday. The new co-publishing agreement will cover Vile's entire solo catalog and songs by Kurt Vile and the Violators, in addition to the publisher's current administration of a portion of his work since 2015. Third Side Music will now handle Vile's future projects, beginning with his latest album Philadelphia's Been Good to Me, released in May.
The company's co-founders Jeff Waye and Kenny MacPherson expressed enthusiasm for the expanded partnership, praising Vile's songwriting skills and stating they are committed to supporting his career long-term. Vile, who signed with Universal Music Group's Verve Records in 2021, previously released his 2015 album B’lieve I’m Goin Down…, which peaked at No. 40 on the Billboard 200 and No. 10 on the Top Rock Albums chart.
His recent single "Chance to Bleed" from Philadelphia's Been Good to Me ranked at No. 40 on Billboard's Staff Picks for the Best Songs of 2026 So Far. In July, Third Side Music also announced the creation of a joint venture with Sofi Tukker, further demonstrating its commitment to long-term partnerships in the music industry.
