Kings of A&R

DC based Hotspur were named one of the top 4 unsigned bands at this year’s SXSW. After extensive touring up and down the east coast, radio play on over 300 college and commercial stations, selling nearly 3k copies of their EP and landing multiple licenses with MTV, Hotspur have released their first full-length album ‘Beta.’ Produced by Chris Grainger and Russ Long (Switchfoot, Wilco, Dropping Daylight), ‘Beta’ comes across as a collection of hits as opposed to a typical album, each track a radio-ready dance rock single. Tales of their guerilla marketing techniques have been making their way into the press, as well as their Snakes on a Plane spoof video circulating on the internet. Currently playing regional dates with further touring plans for later this year. Hotspur will be playing at The Underscore in NY on October 8th. No legal attached.
