Talking of bands who parted company with Virgin Records last year, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have signed a new deal with
Echo. They will bring their Abstract Dragon imprint to the Chrysalis owned label, who will oversee the marketing and distribution of their music in the UK and mainland Europe. That will include the band’s third album, working title ‘Americana LP’, which is due for an early summer release. The band are still negotiating for a similar deal in the US but expect to have something sorted in the next few weeks.
