The Continental Touring team has recently issued an apology to bands and individuals who claim to have fallen victim to their former booking agent Dustyn Mitchell.
Allegedly, Mitchell engaged in unethical behaviors, such as accepting payments for services he did not deliver, including adding individuals to the agency roster and promising future tours and Spotify listener growth.
Upon discovering this misconduct, the Continental Touring team promptly terminated their relationship with Mitchell and made it clear that they do not condone such behavior. Their stated intention in sharing this information is to inform the metal community about these incidents and prevent future scams.
The Continental team would like to extend our apologies to the bands and individuals that have been victims of Dustyn Mitchell. We have been (and are still) repeatedly contacted by several people claiming to having paid initial and monthly retainers to Dustyn. Said payments were made in exchange of "services", including being added to the agency roster, promises of future tours, raising Spotify listeners, etc. Unfortunately, we found out about this unethical behavior a bit late in the game, and immediately proceeded to firing him.
Please note that we did not intend to post about this, as to not emphasize on the situation. However, we feel that it's our duty to inform other members of the metal community, and hopefully prevent such scams from happening in the future. This agency does NOT condone such behavior and tactics, and will cease any relationship with anyone who acts as such.
Sincerely,
-The Continental Touring team

Over the last few months, Mitchell signed a number of bands through Continental Touring, many of whom made posts proud to be on the roster. It seemed Mitchell was making a big splash, but was allegedly signing bands to the roster under false pretenses.
