Welsh five-piece, Continents, have joined the Transcend Music management roster.
Since forming in late 2010, Continents has moved from strength to strength, making a name for themselves first locally and then worldwide having signed to Victory Records (A Day To Remember, Bury Your Dead, Comeback Kid, Terror) in June 2012.
The bands debut album ‘Idle Hands’ was released through Victory Records on the 21st January 2013.
Produced by Stu McKay (Your Demise, Eternal Lord, BMTH) from Studio 6 and mixed/ mastered by Pete Rutcho of Damage Productions (The Ghost Inside, Bury Your Dead) the 12-track album is a monstrous barrage of aggression which has achieved major success with both critics and fans all over the world.
The band had the following to say with regards to the signing - "We're over the moon to sign with Transcend Music. We've managed ourselves to this point but believe now is the perfect time to team up with such a reputable team to push ourselves as a band harder than ever. 2012 was a huge year for us, 2013 and 2014 are set to be even bigger with a welcome addition to the Continents family - Transcend Music"
Kerry, who will be managing the band and also represents Cavorts and Stormbringer, went on to say – “I am extremely pleased to be involved with such a talented and hardworking band such as Continents. The band exudes high levels of energy through their live performance and have released a record that is as raw as it is powerful. I strongly believe big things are to come for Continents!”
