Dec 2005- BRIGHTON, ENGLAND'S PRODIGYTHE RECOIL SIGN WITH RIGHT BANK PUBLISHINGBritish four-piece The Recoil has announced that they have inked a worldwide deal with Right Bank/Rive Droite Music Publishing. Right Bank, which has offices in Los Angeles, Nashville, London and Paris, will also be involved with aggressively developing the bands new recordings. Stephane Bombet, VP Right Bank Music states, "We signed The Recoil with the support of all our other offices (London, Paris, Berlin, Los Angeles) and all of our sub-publishers around the globe. The Recoil has killer choruses and bewitched melodies. They are great players and also amazing performers. It's the full package and that's why Right Bank is so excited about working with them."Ian Walker from The Recoil stated, "Right Bank just seemed like the right company for us from the moment we met them. We instantly struck up a rapport with them and they were very up front about their enthusiasm for the band from the out set. I think above all they came across as honest and true fans of music and that really appealed to us. We would like to thank Sat Bisla and his team at A&R Worldwide for making the introduction and for turning Right Bank on to The Recoil's music."A&R Worldwide, EVP Creative & Media Sat Bisla who has been helping with the development of the band added, "We are very glad to see The Recoil sign to an organization such as Right Bank that has been as passionate about the band as we have. I'd first of all like to thank Mark Hobrough [manager] for turning us onto the band's demos originally. Music fans who have heard The Recoil's music have reacted just as strongly to their demos as those who did to acts such as Keane, Dido, Missy Higgins, Faithless, Jem and other acts I've worked with prior to US and some UK labels taking any notice of their abilities. The Recoil has a great future ahead of them and I have no doubt they'll be a household name in the not-too-distant future!" The Recoil also signed up for booking with the legendary booker Barry Dickins at ITB in the UK recently.___________________________________________________ ______________________Multitalented teen rock outfit The Dares has signed a worldwide deal with Jive Records effective last week. The Dares were signed to Jive by Teresa Labarbera-White, VP A&R, Jive (she signed Jessica Simpson and Destiny's Child and also A&Red Beyonce whilst at Sony). The trio captured industry attention after teaming up with Stephane Bombet, VP Right Bank Music who turned A&R Worldwide onto the band late last year. Bombet stated: The Dares are a one of a kind band. They first time they played for Aziyn [Babayan] and I, we were completely blown away. Not only were the songs very strong, but their stage presence was amazing. Every time I see them perform I have to remind myself that these guys are only 16 years old. It's very unique to have the chance to not only meet but work with a band like this. They are talented musicians who write their own songs and have already performed over 200 times at venues such as the Viper Room, Key Club, House of Blues and Roxy to name a few. It was a great opportunity for us to have a selection of many labels to sign with.Bombet adds; We wanted to sign with a person that had the most passion and vision and decided to sign with Jive through Teresa Labarbera-White. She is an amazing A&R executive who has a genuine love for both artists and music. We very much look forward to working with her.
