Hasbro Studios, the Los Angeles-based entertainment division of Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) and Sony Music Entertainment will release Transformers Roll Out, an alt-rock tribute to the wildly popular hit Hasbro Transformers franchise, on Friday, April 15. Transformers Roll Out is currently available for digital pre-order via iTunes, Amazon and Google Play, with singles“Roll Out” and “Gigantik” off the compilation available for purchase and on streaming services.
Transformers Roll Out heralds the global pop-culture Transformers phenomenon, featuring a collection of hit original songs inspired by the Hasbro Transformers franchise from leading established and up-and-coming alternative, rock and alt-pop artists, morphing together to create an epic portfolio of hard-hitting tunes that truly embodies the soul of the Hasbro Transformers brand. The album includes tracks from chart-topping rock band ‘Bush‘ and front man GavinRossdale, lending powerhouse vocals in “This House is on Fire,” and also features up-and-coming alt-rock group Mount Holly on the album’s lead title track “Roll Out.”
In addition to contributing the title-track, Mount Holly lead guitarist, Nick Perry, worked with Hasbro to produce the entire album. He explains,“Growing up, I was (and still am) a huge fan of the Transformers franchise. It was an amazing experience…The album embodies the action-packed high energy vibe that Transformers is known for and also brings in some outer world ambience and emotionally driven songs as well. All of the artists were thrilled to deliver on the mission.”
“The release of ‘Transformers Roll Out’ truly demonstrates the pop culture power of the Transformers franchise,” said Hasbro Chief Content Officer Stephen Davis. “With generations of audiences celebrating the brand across television, film, digital entertainment, consumer products and now music, this could not be a more exciting time for Hasbro and the Transformers brand with such a unique project that really delivers on the ‘More Than Meets the Eye’ brand promise.”
