Tooth & Nail Records Signs With RED Distribution

Famed Seattle-based labels Tooth & Nail Records and Solid State Records announced today that they have entered into a new distribution deal with RED Distribution, Sony Music Entertainment’s award-winning independent distribution company. Under the agreement, RED will handle distribution for all future Tooth & Nail and Solid State releases. The first new release through RED will be the third studio album from The Almost, Fear Inside Our Bones, out June 11 on Tooth & Nail Records. “We are very excited to be working with Brandon, the entire Tooth & Nail/Solid State team and their great roster of acts on the next chapter of the labels’ successful 20 year run,” says RED President Bob Morelli, “The addition of the Tooth & Nail/Solid State family further strengthens RED’s already storied hard rock music business, and provides us with an even stronger foothold for achievement moving forward.”

Tooth & Nail Records / Solid State Records, which are celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year, recently re-launched as a completely independent label group. This new partnership follows the recent departure of Tooth & Nail Records and Solid State Records from EMI/Universal. “We are thrilled to sign with RED and its remarkable team, including President Bob Morelli and Senior Vice President Alan Becker, both of whom I’ve known and admired for more than 20 years,” shares Brandon Ebel, President of Tooth & Nail Records and Solid State Records, “This is an exciting new phase for our label and artists.”

RED’s radio promotion team and ‘stache media marketing division will also be engaged with the labels. The first radio priority will be the new single from Love & Death, the band formed by Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch, which is being released in conjunction with the summer reissue of Between Here & Lost (with new bonus material).

The labels are looking at a very bright future in 2013. Additional new releases slated for 2013 following The Almost include August Burns Red (just announced as the Vans Warped Tour 2013 headlining slot), The Letter Black, Icon For Hire (presently in the studio working on the sophomore follow-up to Scripted, the biggest first week debut sales in the label fold’s history) and Solid State’s Emery.

Family Force 5 Takes Hawk Nelson Out On The Christmas Pageant Tour

Thu, 03 Nov 2011 14:11:38 -0700

Family Force 5 announces their third annual “The Christmas Pageant” tour experience beginning December 6 featuring Hawk Nelson and special guest Manafest. Tickets are available for advance purchase as well as exclusive VIP $50 tickets here.

More than half of the VIP tickets have already been sold offering fans a special time with Family Force 5 and Hawk Nelson. VIP ticket holders will get to celebrate Christmas with the bands before anyone else with early entry into the show, hear acoustic sets from both bands, special Q&A session filled with Christmas treats, photo opportunities and a Christmas gift from Family Force 5.

Touring the universe and electrifying crowds at big festivals like Sonisphere and the Vans Warped Tour, the band is back with their “Christmas Pageant” tour. This holiday extravaganza started in 2009 with the release of their album The Christmas Pageant. As true to the Family Force 5 live show, “The Christmas Pageant” promises an evening of classic holiday tunes in their incendiary dance-rock style as well as possible snowstorms, over-sized presents and more fun-filled surprises. Check out this performance from last year’s Pageant tour for a taste of the show.

Family Force 5’s new album III marks a dynamic shift and takes the group back to their rock roots, resurrecting the heavy guitars and bombastic beats of their debut. Unadulterated energy ties the band’s unstoppable genre-hopping as Family Force 5–brothers Jacob, Josh, and Solomon Olds, and Nathan Currin and Derek Mount–explore low-slung bass booms and harmonica howls. Download III now on iTunes
