This is a very exciting signing announcement!

BraveWords Records Announces The Signing Of COLIN PETERIK; “Swans” Single Now Available On Bandcamp

BraveWords Records is pleased to announce the signing of COLIN PETERIK. Colin is a “Power Pop” master of hooks and melodies and when you realize that his father is the legendary Jim Peterik, who co-wrote the iconic Rocky III anthem “Eye of the Tiger”, it makes complete sense. Colin is putting the finishing touches on a new album due out later this year.

Colin talks about signing with BraveWords Records, “Giles, Michael, Tim and BraveWords have believed in me since day one, so it was exciting and surreal when they asked me to be on the label. I look forward to doing big things with them, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to join their stacked roster as a recording artist”.
