New single debuts September 15th
Like A Storm (LAS), the band from New Zealand known for blending the Didgeridoo with heavy riff-driven music, has signed an exclusive distribution deal with Edgeout Records/Universal Music Group/UMe for distribution of their new album coming this year. Their first single, “Sinners & Saints” stays true to the classic LAS roots with their high energy, heavy guitars and powerful drums.
The highly regarded team assembled to launch the next LAS album and oversee their career strategy includes Tony Guanci, Edgeout founder; Universal’s Linda Kury VP Commercial Partnerships & Label Relations/Global Marketing; Manager, Steve Wood; Agent Dan Devita of TKO.
“Like A Storm blew me away the first time I saw them perform,” says Guanci. “After spending some time with the band, I recognized their drive, determination and most important, the talent. I look forward to all the incredible things we are going to do together!”
LAS is brothers Chris Brooks on vocals, guitars and Didgeridoo, Matt Brooks on vocals and guitars, Kent Brooks on bass and keys and Zach Wood on drums.
“We’re excited for this new era with Tony and everyone at Edgeout Records, and to now be part of the incredible and illustrious Universal family!” the band shares in a statement. “We’ve had many great talks already with the team, and are really impressed with all the innovation, expertise and experience they’re bringing to the launching of our new music. We’ve been lucky to have had some great moments and milestones in our career to date and are feeling more passionate about the music now than ever. This is going to be epic!”
Like A Storm is the highest-charting New Zealand act ever at US active rock radio. The band write and produce their own records, which have combined more than 150 million streams across all platforms, and 7 x Top 40 Singles at US active rock.
Renowned for their high-energy live show, and once described by Alter Bridge/Slash frontman Myles Kennedy as “The hardest working band in the business,” LAS has extensively toured the US, Europe, Australia, Canada, New Zealand & Japan.
