More Ocean Grove More Ocean Grove

Melbourne outfit Ocean Grove have today been announced as the latest act joining the BMG roster. 

The punk-rock quintet have signed a worldwide publishing deal with the label, joining a slew of big name acts such as AC/DC, The Living End, Meg Mac, Matt Corby and Peking Duk. 

"Ocean Grove are one of the hardest working and most innovative heavy bands in the country - it’s a true pleasure to welcome them into the BMG family and we look forward to making a lot of noise together in the future," BMG Managing Director, Heath Johns, said. 

The signing follows the band's 2017-released debut album, The Rhapsody Tapes, which debuted on the ARIA Albums chart at #5.

"In a move best described as invigorating we have collided with BMG to ensure the publishing of our music worldwide," Ocean Grove said of the signing. 

"This feels like the missing piece to the puzzle when it comes to the representation and bolstering of our musical catalogue.

"Many discussions were had but we are happy to know we signed off on the deal we wanted, best suited to all parties involved. We met with the BMG team in Sydney and it has to be said that they are a switched-on bunch that are already securing us some next level opportunities and taking our music to new places."
