Thanks to industry legend Jason Flom for his shout out in his podcast with Bob Lefsetz, and the story about his success with Steve Tramposch at Virgin Records.

Jason talks about taking over Virgin, Steve’s obsession with A&R research data, and their first signing together, including a story few have heard before.
 
Story starts after 1:08 / 1:10, but the whole thing is worth a listen, what a career. Click image below.

Steve Tramposch‘s A&R signing Nothing More has the #1 rock song in the US  – “Go To War” – rising above releases from such artists as Foo Fighters, 30 Seconds to Mars, Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica, heading into Thanksgiving, 2017.

This adds to the tremendous success the band has seen in the last few years since his discovery, including four straight Top Ten songs at rock radio and being named SiriusXM Octane’s #1 rock song/artist for two years in a row.

Steve discovered the band in Mid 2013 and immediately started the process of signing them to Eleven Seven Music through his role as VP A&R for the label, continuing his strong history of successful international artist signings across genres, notably rock and alternative.

“Once in a generation comes a band who change perceptions on what can be achieved. The last one was Linkin Park, the next one is Nothing More.”  – Chris Ingham, Publisher, Metal Hammer (UK)
