| Columbia Records Signs Copeland Columbia Records has signed Copeland, the emerging indie pop-rock band whose latest album, Eat, Sleep, Repeat, has just entered the Billboard Top 200 best-selling albums chart at #90. Released on October 31, with first week's sales of more than 11, 000 pieces, Eat, Sleep, Repeat is Copeland's highest charting album to-date. In Motion, the group's last full-length album, peaked at #115 on the Billboard Top 200 shortly after its release in March 2005. Originally formed in Florida in 2000, Copeland's core lineup is: Aaron Marsh (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Bryan Laurenson (guitar, piano), James Likeness (bass, vocals), and Jonathan Bucklew (drums). The group relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2002 and signed with The Militia Group, a Southern California independent record company distributed through RED Distribution. Released in 2003, Copeland's first full-length album, Beneath Medicine Tree, found resonance and poetry in medical themes and metaphors, quickly establishing the group as an important new voice in American pop musical culture. The group's next album, 2005's In Motion, reached #4 on Billboard's Heatseekers new artist chart and #8 on the Top Independent Albums chart. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
