Music Industries Press Release

During my first year, I took a module called Music Industries. In the module we were put into groups to create a record label, where we would sign bands to play at a gig we organised ourselves. I signed a band called the 'The Yipes' to our label 'Hypnotic Records' and this is a press release I wrote about landing the deal.

HYPNOTIC RECORDS LAND DEAL WITH THE YIPES

Indie band, ‘The Yipes’ from Telford in Shropshire, have signed a 5 month contract with Birmingham City University based ‘Hypnotic Records’. The deal which includes headlining a live showcase event in mid January in the city of Birmingham, was signed in early September, through ‘Hypnotic Records’ A&R Management.

‘The Yipes’ have said to be very excited by this new deal, and are eager to start working towards to live event alongside ‘Hypnotic Records’ and their other signings. They are looking forward to the new fans they will accumulate from around the Midlands area and around the UK. As they are only relatively well known through the Shropshire area, increasing their fan base through this exciting deal with ‘Hypnotic Records’ could be very exciting and rewarding for them!

The band formed of two brothers, and two friends, were formed in early 2008. They combine their unique tastes in music, to provide something fresh, original and exciting for the Music Industry.

Hannah Durham, CEO of Hypnotic Records, had this to say about to the deal, “Signing the deal with The Yipes is a very exciting venture, for both us as a label and them as a band. Our team are looking forward to working alongside the band, and promoting them throughout the Midlands. The next few months are going to be very exciting for everyone involved”

Hypnotic Record’s live event is rumoured to be being held in Birminghams famous music venue the Road House, on the 12th January, featuring ‘The Yipes’ and also other artists including ‘O’Casan’ and ‘Riot City Saints’. It is said to be a very exciting event, tickets go on sale as of now, costing £3.
