In September 2014 Swedish metalcore-band Safemode, signed an exclusive booking agreement for the US with Mosaic Artistry Group.
Aaron Dill, lead booking agent at Mosaic Artistry Group, found out about Safemode by hearing their songs on the radio. The single ‘Another Day Will Haunt You’ from the band’s latest EP “Gold Digger” was picked up by RadioU and quickly found success in the states, lasting for weeks at the top of their top ten most wanted charts and is in heavy rotation. He wanted to follow up the momentum of their radio success, so he reached out to them and put together a plan to bring their energetic live show to the United States.
“We are very happy to have MAG to represent us in the States, since we already have listeners over there, and our songs have been played on several radio stations.” says lead singer Tjet Gustafsson.
Until now, Safemode has managed all tours by themselves, including two tours in Latin America, and several tours in Europe, without any major record label or booking agency involved.
“We have always had a strong enterprising spirit in the band and in our crew, but when we started to get attention from people in the US, we needed a great partner there, which we now have.” continues drummer Johannes Karlsson.
“We are excited to welcome the guys in Safemode to the MAG family! The plan is now to begin putting together a United States tour for the band in 2015 which will include festival dates.” concludes Aaron Dill.
