Imagem signs Peace
By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 6 March 2013
Independent publisher Imagem Music has signed up that buzzy band they call Peace to a worldwide publishing deal.
And if you don’t believe me, just take a look at what Imagem’s Head Of A&R Michael Morley told CMU yesterday: “When I first heard Peace’s ‘Bloodshake’ I just knew these guys were a far from ordinary guitar band. They obviously drew their influences from a wider range of sources than pop, whilst writing what is already an anthem. Their musical ambition was obvious, and their groove is inspirational in its own right”.
Confirming the deal, the band’s co-managers Phil Hutcheon and Russ Tannen added: “When we first had a meeting with Michael he texted to say he’d be the man in the blue hat, yellow jacket and red shoes, and we just said ‘you had us at blue hat'”.
Signed to Sony’s Columbia label, Peace’s debut album ‘In Love’ is released later this month.
