JEG Music, a division of Justice Entertainment Group, joins forces with long time broadcast-veteran Cat Thomas to sign new pop-rock band LoveSick Radio. Chairman and CEO, Susan Joseph, who heads the music division of JEG is working with Thomas to Co-Manage this burgeoning new band.
Joseph, a 33 year veteran of the Music and Entertainment industry whose personal manager credentials range from working with and representing such notable acts as Laura Branigan, Eddie Kendricks, Tower of Power, Bobby Caldwell, Diane Warren, Nell Carter and many more, brings much expertise and insight to managing this hot new band.

"In the enormous pool of indie bands, it is often difficult to wade through the mediocre to get to the great. But this band swam to the top," Joseph said. "The lead singer, Justin Theriault, is an amazing front man who sings and raps; the musicianship is great; the writing is great and they are awesome live. I have every belief that they are one of the few that will make a serious impact on the industry."

"I've been in the radio industry for over 20 years and have helped break hundreds of artists from Justin Bieber to Katy Perry to Eminem. When I heard LoveSick Radio's lyrics, music and live performances, I knew they were a very special band. It's the first time in my career I've felt like I wanted to put my reputation on the line and build an artist from the ground up. These guys are that special and that good." said Thomas.

Hailing from Columbus, OH this four piece band has a chemistry and unique sound like none other. Upon their first meeting, guitarist David Harris and front man Justin Theriault instantly clicked and wrote two songs together, and immediately the band was formed. The band name came from drummer Josh McGee when asked how he was doing after a recent break-up. He replied with the old cliché "It seems that every song on the radio is about love - doesn't matter what situation it is, it's all LoveSick Radio." The band has their hard work and impressive live performances to thank for their burgeoning success. Bassist Josh Masters says "Our goal is to write great songs and keep playing until the world realizes how good we are."

November 2009 brought the release of the band's first full length album, Heartbreak 4 Dummies, featuring the hit song "Boys Don't Matter." In the short time they have been together, they have already had a song in the Top 50 on the pop charts, been featured on MTV and played with acts like Hinder, Three Days Grace and New Found Glory, among others.

These dynamic performers have already built a strong, loyal fan base and are well-known in the Midwest. Having already performed twice overseas for US troops, the band scored their first big break by winning the 2010 Bon Jovi "Wanted: A SuperBAND Tonight!" contest. Thousands of bands across North America entered into an intense competition in which more than three million votes were cast by fans. 13 winning bands were chosen to perform 20 minutes of original music, opening for the legendary group on their "The Circle Tour."

LoveSick Radio is currently working on writing and producing a new CD while playing shows throughout the Midwest.
