Legendarische rockband Rush tekent bij Roadrunner
Roadrunner Records kondigt vol trots de wereldwijde samenwerking aan met Anthem Records en rock trio Rush. De band zal alleen in Canada onder Anthem/Universal Music blijven opereren.
"We have tremendous respect for Roadrunner Records, and what Cees Wessels and Jonas Nachsin have built on a worldwide level. After years of Roadrunner pursuing the band, Tom Lipsky presented a deal that worked and the timing was right. We wanted to be at a label focused on the rock genre – and that’s Roadrunner," zegt Ray Danniels, manager van Rush.
"In another life I worked with Rush and their great management team more than 30 years ago and to have Rush finally on the Roadrunner label is a dream come true. I am grateful for Ray Danniels’ confidence in this new partnership," aldus Cees Wessels, CEO van Roadrunner Records.
"Rush has a tradition of excellence and independence, both in the studio and on the live stage, and they remain as prolific today as at any point in their career. We are excited to be their label partners,"vertelt Tom Lipsky, President of Lipsky Music, LLC, die deze belangrijke deal voor Roadrunner sloot.
De eerste release die Rush uit zal brengen via Roadrunner zal een live album zijn, waarvan het materiaal opgenomen werd tijdens de succesvolle Time Machine tour die eerder deze zomer afgerond werd. Details voor deze release zullen in de komende weken bekend worden gemaakt.
