HOOKMUSIC.TVThe band is working on a representation agreement with Music Service Company “Hook Music” based in Toronto ON. (
http://hookmusic.tv). The company represents the music of hundreds of independent artists to the advertising, film/tv, gaming and multimedia communities. We’re happy to work with them since their motto is “quality over quantity”… and they specialize in filtering music to help ad firms find quality music for their projects. Hook has placed music in national commercials for Capital One, Sunchips, Frito Lay, Chase Bank, Ritz and many more.
ROADTRIP NATION SOUNDTRACKIn 2007 the band had 2 songs in the soundtrack for the national TV documentary series Roadtrip Nation which aired on PBS Television and TBS Superstation. The songs (“Next Time” & “Love’s So Strong” from The Signs EP) were also included on the series DVD and CD soundtrack which was sent out to hundreds of colleges across the United States. We were recently contacted by the show because of a huge overhaul of their website and they are now streaming the songs from the 2007 soundtrack. Check out the band’s profile at:
