TIME-LIFE TO RELEASE ‘COMMITTED 2 ROCK’ COMPILATION JANUARY 27, 2004
FEATURING DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, CREED, FOO FIGHTERS AND OTHERS
On January 27, 2004, Time-Life will release COMMITTED 2 ROCK, a cutting-edge collection of upbeat and positive hits from today’s most popular modern and alternative music acts. The artists range from Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters and Jimmy Eat World; to Nickelback, 311 and Moby; to P.O.D., Jars of Clay, Lifehouse and D.C. Talk. COMMITTED 2 ROCK will roll out with an aggressive TV and modern rock radio campaign featuring cameos from Dave Matthews and Dave Grohl.
The 18-song project, conceived and produced by Grammy-winning artist/producer David Pack (former Ambrosia frontman), marks a more current direction for Time-Life, focusing on the younger audience driving today’s pop culture. The goal, Pack says, is “to create a soundtrack that inspires youth to reach higher and make positive life choices—also to create a hip CD that not only features the best modern rock hits, but songs that are united in spirit, including some by today’s best contemporary Christian rockers.”
COMMITTED 2 ROCK–highlighted by 16 platinum artists with over 115 million combined U.S. album sales–features an inspired variety of songs, including: “Learn To Fly” (Foo Fighters), “I Did It” (Dave Matthews Band),” “Alive” (P.O.D.) and “Middle” (Jimmy Eat World). The CD also marks the first time Creed, who contributed their smash “Higher,” have permitted one of their songs to appear on a compilation CD.
“Time-Life is excited to present such a stellar lineup of modern rock artists all together on one CD for the very first time,” noted Mark Stevens, President of Time-Life. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the powerful group of songs embodied on ‘Committed 2 Rock,’ where there truly is something for every rock fan.”
