Durbinites across the country have reason to celebrate. Durbin has announced that he will be releasing his debut album with New York label Wind-up records. “We loved James on Idol. We thought he was the standout performer from this season,” said Wind-up CEO Edward Vetri. “James has the drive, passion, love of music and a gifted, soaring rock voice that will win rock fans over throughout.” Chief Creative Officer Gregg Wattenberg called the decision a “no-brainer.”
Durbin himself announced the news to his fans on Twitter: “FINALLY!!!!! THE DURB HAS BEEN SIGNED TO WIND UP RECORDS!!!!!” (caps and excessive exclamation points in the DURB’s original posting).
Wind-up was formed in 1997 and has since produced albums by several notable acts, including Creed and Evanescence. Read more at Durbin Rock.
