The original EP, a perennial fan favorite, has since become a sought-after collector&#8217;s item on vinyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellis joined GCT&#8217;s New York office in 2023 from APA, arriving with a roster that includes <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/manchester-orchestra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manchester Orchestra<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/new-found-glory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Found Glory<\/a>, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GCT has been on an active signing run in 2026, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/tops-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-worldwide-representation-excluding-africa-europe-uk-middle-east\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adding TOPS for worldwide representation excluding Africa, Europe\/UK, and the Middle East<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/navy-blue-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-worldwide-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bringing on Navy Blue for worldwide bookings<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/adult-dvd-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-representation-in-north-and-south-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">signing Adult DVD for North and South American representation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colour Revolt is booked for a high-profile Mississippi play at Duling Hall in Jackson on August 22, 2026, immediately following a hometown kickoff the night before at Proud Larry&#8217;s in Oxford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing quietly plugs a nearly two-decade-old cult favorite back into the machinery of a busy, well-connected agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colour Revolt never had the sustained commercial run some of their 2008-era tourmates did, but the recent vinyl reissue and a hometown Duling Hall date suggest a band testing the waters of a fuller comeback cycle rather than a one-off nostalgia stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pairing them with Andrew Ellis, whose roster already includes acts like Manchester Orchestra, hints that GCT sees crossover appeal with the emo-adjacent, indie-leaning acts it has been stacking its roster with all year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could Ellis&#8217;s connections to acts like Manchester Orchestra and New Found Glory open co-headline or support slots for Colour Revolt? With GCT adding TOPS, Navy Blue, and Adult DVD in the same stretch, is the agency deliberately building a genre-spanning indie roster ahead of festival season?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colour Revolt has signed with Ground Control Touring (GCT) for live music and touring representation, with agent Andrew Ellis leading the deal.
