Record label contract breach?

Question by SinDelle Morte: Record label contract breach?
I entered into a contract with a record label in Birmingham, AL. I am in VA. On April 10th, 2008, they tried to force me to dissolve my contract for no reason and would not give me an explanation as to why. They then attempted to dissolve the contract through an Internet Instant Messaging service and told me, “You have been removed from the label. All copyrights belong to you” and removed all my media from all promotional sites about ten minutes later. I have documentation proving these things, through email and IM records, as well as screenshots of the actual messages. I tried to tell them they were breaching the contract and could be sued. They said they were not breaching anything. I have tried to find out why they attempted to terminate the contract but was never told by them. I have since heard from another label-mate (who has said he would sign an affidavit) that the wife of the owner was jealous of me and that is why my contract was terminated. They have been telling everyone on the label that I was hitting on her husband and encouraging them not to speak to me anymore. I have never met her husband; I have never even seen a picture of the man. They have also tried to tell everyone on the label that none of the band contracts were valid because they were not notarized. I am sure this is not true. I would really like to sue them. I am almost positive the documentation I have of these events is more than adequate to ensure victory but of course, that is why I need a lawyer. I have sent them via email a document to sign and return that states the original contract is null and void due to THEIR breach and that all copyrights belong to me but have yet to hear back from them. Any advice would be great.
Sorry, I did not include that: No, the contract has no escape clause at all for either side.

Without reading the contract it is too difficult to tell whether there has been a breach or not. Read the terms of the contract that was signed, and see whether they had a unilateral right to end to contract, and under what conditions. Sorry this happened. Sucks!
