Guitarist Steve Anderson said: "Label president Nick Katona has a wealth of industry knowledge and I know we are going to benefit hugely from his advice and support."

Katona, of the Florida based Melodic Revolution Records, is delighted with the signing. He said: "From the first tune on the album, I knew that there was something special about this band and I am truly honoured to be working with some of the finest musicians in the world today, known as The Room."

The band’s debut album Open Fire will be released on the label later this year. It was recorded at Platform Studios in Hurst, Berkshire with producer Damon Sawyer.

"Open Fire is a stunning debut release for The Room, keep your eyes and ears on this band," said Katona.

Andy Rowe, bass guitarist said: "We have worked so hard for the last year on this album and we are so excited by the label's reaction to it. We can’t wait to get out and play it live."

The album launch and supporting UK live shows will be announced soon.
