MUSICISLAND act The Shutes have landed a deal with Sony/ATV.

The publishing deal will mean Sony promote the band’s music for projects including film, TV and advertising.

Guitarist and frontman Michael Champion said: "It’s amazing news. We signed the contract last week.

"Our manager, Grant Box, has some links with Sony and they have been to a few of our gigs.

"They are pitching us for a Vodaphone thing, which would be great," he said.

The band is also due to release a five-track EP, Hits Like Mourning, in September on their own label, Stratospheric.
