Wolverhampton's CityLightz secure HMV EP deal
Wolverhampton rap-rockers CityLightz have struck up a deal with two local HMV stores to sell copies of their forthcoming debut EP.
The band, who recorded Rock n Road at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios in London, will see it released in the HMV outlets in their home city and Telford, as well as three others including the flagship store at London’s Westfield shopping centre, on October 4.
Limited numbers of hard copies will be available at the stores, before it gets its worldwide digital release four weeks later.
