Terrorbird Media co-founder Jessica Caragliano and director of licensing Lauren Ross have joined forces to launch Terrorbird Publishing!  The publishing branch provides artists with the benefits of a carefully curated roster and the personal care that's become synonymous with Terrorbird's radio, publicity, and sync licensing departments, paired with the power of a trusted worldwide publishing network with over 50 years of experience.  Through a partnership with Powis Music Limited, the artists maintain full ownership of their copyrights while Terrorbird administers their publishing, seeks out and creates new opportunities, and diligently collects artist royalties. As a boutique agency with expansive reach, Terrorbird Publishing fosters an environment valuing personal attention, artist empowerment, and comprehensive service. 

Terrorbird Publishing is proud to announce their launch with 5 prestigious signings.  John McCauley of Deer Tick and Middle Brother is one of the most distinctive, rising creative voices in modern American songwriting.  The inventive and experimental Deerhoof are one of the most critically acclaimed bands in the world, with 16 years of recording and touring history behind them. Kyle Andrews is a licensing sensation with songs in TV shows like Grey's Anatomy and Lie To Me, as well as campaigns for Holiday Inn, Doritos, Dell, Playstation, and Nike. Rainbow Arabia bring the influences of various world musics and time periods to their groundbreaking records, the latest just released on the illustrious German electronic label Kompakt.  Catchy power pop trio The Thermalshave had several releases on famous punk labels Sub Pop and Kill Rock Stars.

Their partner, Powis Music Limited, was formed in July 2008 with the key aim to successfully "Develop Acts and Build Careers". Run by Tim Medcraft and backed by partner Simon Platz (Bucks Music Group Ltd's owner), Powis Music continues to work hand in hand with the acts signed by Tim during his 10 years working at Bucks while building Powis' own roster.  Last year the acts Tim works with sold over 1 million downloads and included Professor Green (2 top 5 hits, over 500,000 single sales, over 175,000 album sales, MOBO Best Hip Hop / Grime Act 2010, NME Award winner, BT Award winner); Wizard Sleeve (380,000 single sales); Arts & Crafts (Broken Social Scene, Timber Timbre) and many others.  He also previously signed and worked with Chase and Status, Sub Focus (via Oakden) and Joker (via Multiverse). Current signing What Now were recently #1 for 5 weeks in South Africa's Rock chart.

"I'm thrilled to be working with such a forward thinking boutique company as Terrorbird Media who are constantly on the pulse of cutting edge music.  Their work ethic is phenomenal and their business philosophy is a benchmark for how things should be done.   The fact that they have started with a roster of such talented, driven and principled artists says it all. I'm very proud of the way they have started and expect nothing but bigger things from them in the future."

"Expanding our business into the publishing world is an organic step forward.  Lauren Ross has been an integral part of this process, so teaming with her as a co-owner was a no-brainer.  Tim Medcraft shares our masochistic drive to succeed, plus his British wit keeps us on our toes!   We view the Terrorbird network as family, partnering with those we trust who share our passion and artist-friendly vision, so Powis as our worldwide partner is a natural match. We couldn't be more excited!"
