The Gossip have signed to the Columbia Records subsidiary, Music with a Twist, in the USA. This unique label is designed to "identify and develop lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and trans-gendered artists".

The Arkansas trio's hit single "Standing in the Way of Control" will appear on the label's forthcoming compilation, "Twist Revolutions", due out on April 17. Another song by the group fronted by Beth Ditto, "Red Hott", has landed in our Tuborg Top 40 Mega Rock Chart as a new entry last week.
