Warner Chappell Music has signed My Chemical Romance to an exclusive worldwide administration deal covering the band's full catalog and future works, with Chair and CEO Guy Moot praising the "indelible catalog" the band has built. The deal expands a Warner relationship that dates back to 2003 and lands as the band closes its tour with five nights at the Hollywood Bowl, ahead of the Oct. 23 deluxe reissue marking 20 years of The Black Parade.

British rockers Band Of Skulls have joined FLG Records, the rock and alternative imprint of Frontiers Label Group, with frontman Russell Marsden calling the move “an exciting new chapter for the band.” Music from the band’s revamped line-up is on the way, along with a deluxe box set celebrating its first three records.

THE·TEAM has added GRAMMY-winner Yebba to its roster for agency representation, where she will work with Jackie Nalpant, Tom Windish, James Rubin and Clementine Bunel worldwide. The signing follows Jean, her second album, which arrived via RCA in March.

HAYLA has extended her publishing deal with Payday Music Publishing, which has represented the UK-based singer-songwriter since 2023, with founder Patrick Moxey praising her "tremendous charisma, style and charm." The GRAMMY-nominated writer has seven No. 1 Billboard Dance singles to her name, has worked with John Summit, ILLENIUM and Kygo, and plans to spend 2027 writing her third album.

R&B singer-songwriter Bryant Barnes has signed with Justin LaMotte at ATC Management. The Mercury Records artist broke through with 'I'd Rather Pretend,' which has passed 136M Spotify streams, and released his debut album Solace in October 2025. LaMotte recently joined the firm, bringing clients PHABO and THEY. with him.

Oxford-born producer Hamdi has joined Ultra Records and RCA Records UK. After 'Skanka' was picked up by Skrillex, he went on to collaborate with the electronic artist on 'Push' and Marshmello on 'Fired Up,' and made his Coachella debut in 2024. New single 'Heart & Soul' with D Double E is out now, with UK dates at Manchester's Warehouse Project (Nov. 20) and London's HERE at Outernet (Nov. 21) to come.
