Reachback Signs With Spectra

Reachback, one of HYPE’s premier bands from overseas, just signed a record deal with US label Spectra Records, a branch of Spectra Music Group. The label will be distributing their debut album to American stores, as well as providing tour support for the band to travel the country and allowing them to break into bigger American markets.

The band also recently grabbed the “Best Music Video” award at the Artist In Music Awards for their HYPE song “No One Else”. Check out the original as well as an acoustic version we filmed with the band at Abbey Road Studios. Both videos are below.

2013 is proving to be a lunge forward for the ironically named Reachback. We can’t wait to see what’s to come.
