“SCREAMING HOT ROCK BAND SEES SUCCESS AS HAVING THE RIGHT MANAGEMENT”
Hollywood. Nashville. New York. – Jimi Storm, the lead singer in the metal band MOTHER LEEDS is having the best year of his artistic life. The economy is actually helping his band to sell more albums, sell more merchandise, and sell out every venue they’ve played since they have been recognized by ASCAP as the most awarded metal band in New Jersey for the past five years. Just read the 13 major press reviews of the band at http://cdbaby.com/cd/motherleeds
“You must get someone to guide you in the music business.” “Hiring a manager and having him guide you through the tough times is perhaps one of the most important things that a rock band will ever do,” says Storm. MCA Universal manager/consultant Robert Metzgar was that guide for our band. Just nominated for a 2010 Grammy and getting 5 nominations from the Academy Of International Recording Artists, Mother Leeds is finally starting to see all their hard work come to a point where people are noticing them.
Like the Kings Of Leon, Guns N Roses, The Strokes, and Melissa Etheridge, the band worked for years before the record business started to take notice. That happened when we got management involved. We started by getting better press reviews, better coverage of our gigs, and finally getting our product in stores through Platinum Plus Universal Records which is our label. The AIRA has nominated Mother Leeds, the Best Rock Band 2009, Best Lead Singer In A Rock Band 2009, Best International Rock Album 2009, Best YouTube “Live” Performance Rock Bands 2009, and Most ASCAP awarded Rock Band 2009. Those five nominations come from selling product hard online, downloads at iTunes and other outlets, as well as our new distribution deal internationally.
“The best $3500.00 I ever spent was hiring Mr. Metzgar to guide me in my career.” We have made it to a whole new level since we got management involved in our music. Having a world wide following is helping us sell more records than we ever thought possible. The problem with rock bands in the New York area is that you can play your entire life in the northeast and never get any recognition unless you hire someone to help you get that recognition. The Mother Leeds Platinum Plus Universal album is best known for the single release Mona Lisa. It’s made it into the Top 100 Hot Single Releases internationally in Billboard’s most difficult international AAA metal chart. We hope to get the single into Top-40 in the New Year and continue our climb to the top of this business. To further contact Jimi Storm and Mother Leeds, call toll free 800-767-4984
