FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
7.4.03
Dayton, Ohio — Making a bold move today, Christian
rock band, Monsterus officially announced after nearly
a year of talks with major record executives, they will
remain independent as well as launch their own independent
record company...B2 Entertainment (Band 2gether Entertainment.)
The idea for B2 came to Monsterus drummer Ron
Campbell over a decade ago in ‘92 when initially
laying the groundwork for what would literally become
MONSTERUS! Since that time, B2 has served as a
private production company solely owned and operated
by the band.
Based in the birthplace of aviation, Monsterus found
it only fitting to announce the launch of B2 Entertainment
on the opening day of Dayton’s Centennial of Flight
Celebration. “100 years ago today the Wright
Brothers launched an idea that would change the world,
that’s our goal with this new venture.”
says Monsterus drummer, Ron Campbell. “We’re
really excited for what’s ahead because we’re
one of the only record companies around anymore solely
owned and operated by Christians. With the ‘crossover’
success of bands like P.O.D., MXPX, and Sixpence none
the Richer...the mainstream entertainment industry has
taken notice of this multibillion-dollar business and
responded by acquiring most all of the independent Christian
record companies. Believe me, after this past
year one thing rang clear...success to these media moguls
is measured in sales not souls!”
Monsterus will lay the foundation for B2 with their
long awaited debut album, Zealots in the Land of
Nod...which will be premiered July 18-20 at the
NAMM International Music & Sound Expo in Nashville
and will be available worldwide by August 1st. “Our
game plan is simple” states Monsterus bassist,
Don Williams, “If God is leading you to do something
then simply follow His Lead! When He’s in
the drivers seat, no man can stop it!” Following
their debut release on the new label, Monsterus will
begin work on their second record, with plans to establish
a roster of what they term ‘ministry minded artists.’
“We’re looking for something that
is getting harder to find these days...music with an
anointing” adds Ron, “Music that reaches
down from their very heart of God and touches hearts
in a way in which no man can. This industry has
forgotten how it all got started in the first place
with such ministry minded artists as the legendary Andrae
Crouch, Keith Green, and Larry Norman. When this
whole genre started it was driven by ministry and not
an industry. And yes, our artists will ‘crossover’
however the focus will be on making sure they take the
cross over with them. The world doesn’t
need another icon or idol...they need answers....they
need God”
Doors have continued to open for Monsterus and B2 Entertainment
as well with the upcoming release of Monsterus:
A Zealots in the Land of Nod–The Graphic Novel
from Quest Comics in New York. This 72 page full
color comic is based on the entire storyline behind
the album and features Monsterus throughout. The
band also can expect a big push sometime in 2004 when
the albums title track Zealot in the Land of Nod
appears both on the soundtrack and in the sci-fi animated
film “Aneste: Brace of Two.”
B2 Entertainment has secured both worldwide distribution
and relationships with high profile and influential
industry experts to further strengthen their leadership
position. “Feedback to what we’re
doing has already been positive and the momentum is
just starting to build.” adds Monsterus frontman/guitar
player, Mars Alan, “It is important to us that
B2 Entertainment be perceived as a dominant player pushing
the envelope in all aspects of its business and ministry...which
is vital for survival in this highly competitive industry.
We are confident, that as our vision remains on
The Rock this label will be rolling for many years to
come.”
