Bottomland, comprised of Cannon Brand and Justin Gates, has inked with Sony Music Nashville.

“Still feels a little unreal saying this out loud, but we signed a major record deal with Sony Music Nashville,” the duo shares. “It’s hard to put into words what this means to us. When we formed Bottomland, something clicked and it felt like we started creating the music we were always destined to make. Now we’re in a position we only used to dream about, and it feels like we’ve finally been given the opportunity we’ve been working toward for so long.”

The Texas natives first garnered attention with performances around their home state and have since amassed 7.8 million global streams. They released their new single, “We’re About To Break Up,” today. The track was written by HARDY, Jameson Rodgers, Smith Ahnquist and Hunter Phelps.

“We’ve been fans of Hardy for as long as we can remember, so getting pitched a song that he was a writer on was one of those ‘is this really happening?’ moments,” shares the duo. “We knew from the first listen that we had to make this one our own. We poured everything we had into it, and we couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out. It’s become one of our favorite songs to play every night, and we look forward to playing it for a long time. We hope we did the song and the writers behind it justice.”

The duo is currently on the road with upcoming dates in Texas, Washington and Louisiana.
