Local indie blues rockers Welshly Arms recently inked a deal with a major record label and have already reaped big dividends as a result. The band’s anthemic tune “Legendary” has become a major hit.

To capitalize on its popularity, the band has just released the new EP Legendary. The video for the title track has accumulated nearly 2 million views while the track itself has over 20 million streams on Spotify.

Welshly Arms tunes have also recently appeared in ads for Miller, Hulu, NFL, Indian Motorcycles and Beck’s Beer.
