RUSH Ink Deal With Roadrunner; Live Album Then Clockwork Angels To Follow By Tokemaster General, Contributor Wednesday, August 31, 2011 @ 10:05 AM
According to Billboard.biz, RUSH have inked a deal with Roadrunner Records in the US.
"After years of Roadrunner pursuing the band, Tom Lipsky (President, Lipsky Music LLC) presented a deal that worked and the timing was right," Rush manager Ray Danniels said in an announcement. "We wanted to be at a label focused on the rock genre - and that's Roadrunner."
The group's next full-length studio album, a long-gestating work titled Clockwork Angels, will be released in 2012 on Roadrunner. The delay - a lead single, 'Caravan', was released in June 2010 - was due to the success of their Time Machine Tour, which just wrapped.
A first Roadrunner release will actually be a live album culled from the blockbuster tour. According to the label, details will be revealed in the coming weeks. "In another life I worked with Rush and their great management team more than 30 years ago and to have Rush finally on the Roadrunner label is a dream come true," said Cees Wessels, Roadrunner Records Chairman. Lipsky, who brokered the deal, remarked that Rush has a "tradition of excellence and independence, both in the studio and on the live stage, and they remain as prolific today as at any point in their career. We are excited to be their label partners."
