LOS ANGELES--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Bug Music Publishing, the largest independent contemporary music publisher in the world, has entered into a publishing agreement with legendary guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer JOAN JETT and her BLACKHEART RECORDS Group, it was announced today by Bug Music CEO John Rudolph.
"We are incredibly excited to have Joan and her Blackheart label as part of the Bug Music family. You cannot deny her place in rock and roll history. She is a permanent fixture on loud stereos across the world and will continue to be for decades to come"
Under the terms of the deal, Bug Music will represent JOAN JETT's renowned publishing catalogue including her influential work featuring "Bad Reputation" and "I Hate Myself for Loving You." Furthermore, under the agreement, Bug Music will represent BLACKHEART RECORDS Group masters non-exclusively for synchronization opportunities along with pursuing ongoing creative collaborations with BLACKHEART RECORDS artists under the Bug Music umbrella. The BLACKHEART RECORDS roster currently includes Girl in a Coma, The Dollyrots, The Eyeliners, The Cute Lepers, and The Vacancies.
"We are incredibly excited to have Joan and her Blackheart label as part of the Bug Music family. You cannot deny her place in rock and roll history. She is a permanent fixture on loud stereos across the world and will continue to be for decades to come," said Brad Rains, Senior Director of Creative Services Bug Music. "With this great roster, BLACKHEART RECORDS adds some exciting young bands to the Bug lineup."
A founding member of The RUNAWAYS, Jett wrote and co-wrote much of the band's music during their four year, five album career. Following the break-up of the RUNAWAYS, Jett produced The Germs' highly influential and only studio recording "(GI)." That same year, she began pursuing her solo career. In 1980, following the universal rejection of her debut solo album, Jett released the then self-titled record on the BLACKHEART RECORDS label, an outlet formed by Jett and manager KENNY LAGUNA. The follow-up, "I Hate Myself for Loving You," would go on to top the Billboard charts and become a rock n' roll staple. Over the course of her career, Jett has charted nine Top 40 singles from eight platinum and gold albums which include her own compositions as well as renditions of "I Love Rock N' Roll" and "Crimson and Clover." Jett has worked with The Gits, Peaches, Bikini Kill, Paul Westerberg and has been named one of the 100 Greatest Guitar Players of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine.
