“James and Carry The 4 have long championed intriguing new artists and bands in our world, and their passion for what they do consistently shines through.”

– Rob Sayce, Associate Editor – Rock Sound Magazine

“James is that diamond in the rough. We’d gone through quite a few PR people before stumbling upon Carry the 4. Since working with him, our band has achieved things we had previously only dreamed of. The constant diligence and great work ethic from him is something that we personally believe is unparalleled. People like James are a rarity in today’s world when it comes to pushing his artists to their highest and furthest potential. It has been a privilege working with him, and we intend to continue work with him for as long as we can.”

Jay Miller, Guitarist – Count to Four, Neverkept

“Carry The 4 works smart and does their research. They know what artists fit with each potential opportunity with us, which always makes them a pleasure to work!”

Anthony Lauletta, Alternative Press

“I don’t mean this in a bad way, AT ALL, but one of the most impressive things about Carry The 4, is how infrequently I hear from them! The reason that’s a good thing, is because every time I DO hear from them, I get excited! Why? Because I know what I’m about to listen to is going to be great. Unless it’s great, James simply doesn’t send it to me….and that means his credibility in my eyes is sky high. Top of the pile, every time, and that’s the most important thing in this game.” 

Alex Baker – Kerrang

“I’ve had the chance to work with James, and the team at CT4 for the past 2-3 years now, and not once has it ever been a disappointment. Everything James has set out to do for any of our artists, he has accomplished. He doesn’t over-promise, he doesn’t under-deliver, he’s honest about how he does work, and he brings you exactly what you’re expecting at the end of the day. He’s become my go-to publicist for any of my ventures for a reason.” 

– Chelsea Coronin – Kontrolla Music Group, Famined Records

He worked hard on our campaign and we’d highly recommend him to any band interested in Carry The 4’s services ”
