“”I’ve been working as a music supervisor for ‘Pimp My Ride’ since the first season and am constantly looking for great music for each new episode. The Wedding is a great band whose energy and exceptional melodies fit perfectly with the spirit of the show. I’ve placed several songs off their record in this season’s episodes” , comments MTV music supervisor Jose Cuello.
“Ever since ‘Pimp My Ride’ came out, we’ve all watched it a ton. It’s an honor that they would use so many of our songs on their show,” exclaimed band member Trevor Sarver.
Having their music featured prominently on MTV is just another addition to this young band’s string of successes in 2005.
