Recognition and MTV

Starting the week of February 5, 2007, Jersey Bound Trunk Crew was named mtvU's Artist of the Week in their Best Music on Campus program.[1] The music video for their 2007 song 'Run.Live.Love' was featured on mtvU, which plays online and at college campuses nation-wide.

In March 2007, Jersey Bound was selected as one of mtvU and Epic Records' Top 50 in their Artist of the Year contest on BestMusicOnCampus.com.[2] The winner of the contest wins a $1.5 million record deal with Epic Records.

In April, by a combination of votes received and judging by a panel from mtvU and Epic, the group made it into the Top 15 in the mtvU and Epic Records contest.[2] Each of the Top 15 artists are to sign an option deal with Epic. The mtvU and Epic Records contest ended in May, a rock band winning the contest. Jersey Bound Trunk Crew signed a three month option contract with Epic Records.

Jersey Bound Trunk Crew performed at the MTV & EA Games "Rock Band Tour" on October 4–6 in Pittsburg.[3]

The trio is currently working on their follow-up record due to be released in 2010.[edit] Discography
