ORLANDO, Fla., June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos – with locations from Bali to Cancun, San Diego to Ibiza, and Chicago to Macau – announces the debut of Tracks. Vol.12: Mustang ICON50 Playlist, the latest collection of modern sounds available exclusively to hotel guests around the world as part of the brand's complimentary music amenity program, The Sound of Your Stay®. Available now at Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos worldwide, the collection comes to life through Hard Rock's involvement and partnership with Ford's ICON50 program that celebrates the 50th anniversary of Mustang, which much like music inspires a sense of freedom, independence and adventure.
"Music is a universal language that holds the power to transcend generations and our in-room amenity program is just one of the many ways that we at Hard Rock keep music at the forefront of the hotel guest experience," says Matt Watts, director of music and marketing for Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos. "We look forward to further connecting guests with our brand's passion, while supporting emerging artists and the ever-evolving musical landscape."
Tracks. Vol. 12 features many of the ICON50 artists, including ASTR, Cathedrals, Elle King and other distinguished artists breaking new ground and setting the stage for the future of the music industry. Bands such as Australia's Sheppard, which have gained international fame in a little over a year since their debut album Bombs Away graze the playlist with massive hit tracks, such as "Geronimo" – recently certified platinum in the U.S.
"We're incredibly excited to be a part of Hard Rock's Tracks Volume 12 – we're currently touring Europe in support of our single, 'Geronimo,' and can't wait to hear our track blasting throughout Hard Rock Hotels round the world," said George Sheppard, who formed the band with his sister Amy and currently contributes as lead vocals and piano.
Indie pop sensation and festival headliners – MisterWives – whose debut EP album charted No. 1 on the Billboard and Twitter Emerging Artist Chart are also featured on the playlist and saluted as one of the most impactful bands to reach the main stage this year.
"We had a blast playing Hard Rock x ICON50show in NYC last year and we are honored to be included in the playlist among some of our favorite artists," said MisterWives bassist, Will Hehir.
