PROGRESS REPORT
Jar Music provided the band with 1-1 A&R support in Artist & Product development. This was to assist the band to fine tune their music so it Xover and appeal to a wider audience.
This invaluable assistance helped the bands' single "Champion" becoming the title track for Sky Sports Adverts promoting the 2011 US Superbowl. Following a variety of high profile supports, such as Plan B and Florence & The Machine, this lead to the band signing to Warner Music Group earlier in the year.
