Warner Chappell Music has entered into an exclusive worldwide administration agreement for upcoming releases with Grammy Award-winning rock band Greta Van Fleet.
Formed in 2012, the Michigan-born group’s breakout success came with their 2017 EP, the RIAA-certified gold album From The Fires, which earned them a Grammy win for Best Rock album and four nominations.
Their latest single, My Way Soon, was released last Friday on all streaming platforms.
Greta Van Fleet consists of vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka, bassist Sam Kiszka, and drummer Danny Wagner.
Their EP From the Fires has garnered over 330 million global streams to date, while the single Highway Tune held the top spot on Billboard’s US Mainstream Rock chart for five weeks straight and also reached No.1 at Active Rock radio.
The band’s 2018 debut full-length studio album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army, debuted at No.3 on the Billboard 200, ruled the Billboard Rock Albums chart, and has been streamed over 194 million times worldwide.
In 2019, the group took home the award for Rock Song of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards for their single Safari Song.
Last year, the band embarked on their March of the Peaceful Army Tour, which included sold-out shows in Japan, Australia, South America, Mexico, North America, and Europe.
