"Simmons/Universal Records started off as a grand idea - find new talent, and take it to the world. Simple enough," said Simmons. "But, where is the new talent? When I saw THE ENVY play live, I knew who our first signing should be. Here was a band that had the goods - songwriting, live performance and charisma rolled into one. Equally as important, a strong work ethic. Simply put, remember the name: THE ENVY. You'll be hearing about them soon...worldwide."

The five-song sampler, only available at shows on their summer tour, digitally on iTunes and the bands official website: www.TheEnvyMusic.com, features the band's debut single "Don't Let Go," three additional songs from their forthcoming debut album and a bonus EP-only, non-album track. The band is currently offering a free download of "Don't Let Go" on their official website and is wrapping up a summer tour supporting legendary, musical icon KISS.

Gene Simmons who had seen the band play, and recognized their potential, signed them as the first artist to his new Simmons Records label. Currently the band is on tour through September with KISS as the final mixes are being completed on their debut full-length album by Grammy award-winning mixer David Bottrill (Peter Gabriel, Muse, Tool, AFI) and the highly sought after Randy Staub (Metallica, Nickelback, Bon Jovi).
