There must be something in the water down in
Nashville that has lead to the recent rise in buzzing talent in
Tennessee’s “Music City.” One of the best examples of this is Jeffery Drag Records,
a young label that has consistently released quality, southern-fried
jams for the last three years. What began as a vessel for co-founders Adam Moult and Mike Gicz to release cassettes for their band Bad Cop has expanded to include Natural Child, Useless Eaters, Turbo Fruits, and Pujol. And now, Jeffery Drag has signed a distribution deal with the highly coveted Frenchkiss Label Group (FKLG).
Frenchkiss creator Syd Butler
feels that JDR will be a welcome addition to his company’s roster.
“We're incredibly excited to have Jeffery Drag coming aboard the
Frenchkiss family and to see them grow as a label as they continue to
put out a steady stream of extremely high-energy rock records,” says
Syd. In joining with the FKLG, Jeffery Drag will gain a worldwide
digital retail presence, a team of seasoned industry veterans who will
help them expand their label's business as well as roster, and a family
of labels that will support and nurture the JDR team.
The recently executed deal will position Jeffery
Drag Records within the Frenchkiss Label Group family of independent
labels. FKLG specializes in a “handshake mentality” when it comes to
music distribution, emphasizing the nurturing and connecting of label
communities in order to grow an imprint’s visibility. This professional
ideology, coupled with their recent partnership with The Orchard, gives Frenchkiss a solid and experienced foundation that aims at delivering and streamlining distribution. |
