The agreement will give the band access to UMG’s global network around the world and will allow greater opportunities for the band to reach new audiences globally. This couldn’t come at a better time as the band is preparing to drop their next Album titled Mid Night Train.
This is not their first time going international, but nonetheless, this is an exciting opportunity, and we can’t wait to see them take the world by storm.
