Rehab's "Welcome Home" Will Burn Up Stores September 7
Band Partners With TouchTunes Interactive Networks For Free Download Promotion
NEW YORK, NY September 7, 2010—REHAB's brand new record Welcome Home (Universal Republic Records) officially slides into stores today. However, the party has already begun...
Available digitally as of August 24 on iTunes, TouchTunes Digital Jukeboxes and other digital outlets, REHAB's fifth studio album rustles up a rousing combination of rock, hip hop, funk and even a dose of country, like only this Georgia seven-piece can. The current single, "Welcome Home," is intoxicating airwaves at the moment. With its Southern swagger and acoustic hook, the track wrangles true grit into a catchy little ditty about going home. The song brandishes a funked-out countrified stomp and a hearty melody.
In support of the release, Atlanta-based mash-up group, Rehab is partnering with TouchTunes Interactive Networks to promote the new album. Rehab gained commercial success and recognition on TouchTunes Digital Jukeboxes with their hit single "Bartender Song (Sittin’ at a Bar)" ― a digital jukebox phenomenon and the 9th most played song on the TouchTunes network in 2009 with nearly 1 million paid plays.
Welcome Home will be promoted across TouchTunes Interactive Networks, including Digital Jukeboxes, BarflyTV screens and on myTouchTunes.com nationwide. Fans will also be able to receive a free download of "Welcome Home" by entering their email address on TouchTunes Digital Jukebox screens or online at www.rehabmusic.com/touchtuneswelcomehome. The download expires on September 30.
“TouchTunes brought Rehab from obscurity and into the public eye,” said Danny Boone, lead singer, Rehab. "In such a tough music market and landscape to stay relevant as an artist, TouchTunes continues to be an invaluable resource for us to connect with our fans.” “We are continually amazed at the band’s success on TouchTunes,” said Vicki Saunders, VP, digital media and music marketing, TouchTunes. “It has been great watching Rehab dominate our charts and we’re looking forward to seeing Welcome Home do the same.”
The band is set to make a special appearance on September 13th at the TouchTunes Partners Meeting in Phoenix, AZ.
