Anton Pearson, guitarist for post-punk outfit Squid<\/a>, has signed with ROAM for worldwide live music and touring representation, excluding North America. Sarah Joy is leading the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signing follows the July 3 release of Pearson’s debut solo album, Driving Through Belgium<\/em>, via World of Echo. Built from atmosphere and texture rather than melody, the six-track record grew out of long stretches of touring across Europe and was recorded in a Brighton studio Pearson shares, his first fully solo undertaking in that space. Lead single “Tintinnabulation I” preceded the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within Squid, Pearson is already represented by Joy for the band’s UK and Rest of World bookings, alongside Hoof Management, who continue overseeing his day-to-day career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROAM, formed in September 2025 from the merger of ATC Live and Arrival Artists, has kept building its indie and alternative rosters. The agency recently signed Ben Walker for worldwide representation<\/a>, inked Mindsigh for worldwide representation excluding North America<\/a>, and brought Norwegian dream-pop act Yndling into the fold under a similar excluding-North-America deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is ROAM formalizing something that was already informally in place. Pearson’s band has been in Sarah Joy’s orbit for years; wrapping his solo work into that same relationship is a low-friction move rather than a new bet on an unproven artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also shows how agencies are increasingly signing side projects and solo ventures from band members separately, treating them as distinct commercial entities worth their own paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does a dedicated solo booking deal signal Pearson plans to tour Driving Through Belgium<\/em> independently of Squid’s schedule? Could this open the door for other Squid members to pursue similarly structured solo deals?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
