Mohair Sign North American Record Deal

You may remember MOHAIR from FUTURE SOUNDS 21, well congratulations go out to them for they have just signed an exclusive North American recording contract with a new label set up by Q Prime Management. Q Prime, with a roster including Metallica, Muse, Shania Twain, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lostprophets, and Garbage among others are are looking to continue that success with their own new independent record label. The management team of Cliff Burnstein and Peter Mensch will be working closely with the UK team of Adrian Bell and Will Williams.

First to join the roster of their new label is the UK band Mohair. “It’s been amazing getting involved with the Q Prime family. Their wealth of experience and respect for their artists and what they do is incredible. It feels great that some of our hard work is finally paying off. We’re very excited about the whole affair!” says Tom Billington of Mohair.

Hailing from the London suburb of Watford, Mohair have created an entirely unique sound. Having spent the past several years honing their live show, Mohair finally headed into the studio earlier this year with producers Mark Wallis (U2, Travis, The La’s and The Go-Betweens) and David Ruffy (of the legendary punk band The Ruts as well as Aztec Camera and The Waterboys). The result is a powerful debut album.

Mohair's debut album 'Small Talk' is scheduled to be released in the first half of 2006 on the soon to be named label. There are also plans for the band to tour extensively throughout the states including performances at SXSW.
