Infectious do distribution deal with [PIAS]
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 17 March 2009
The recently relaunched Infectious Records which, you’ll remember, has been reinvented by Korda Marshall since his departure from Warner Music, has signed a pan-European distribution deal with [PIAS] which covers both digital and physical releases. The first releases distributed under the deal will be from Marshall’s first new signing, Aussie band The Temper Trap, who have a single out on 20 Apr.
Confirming the deal, Marshall told CMU: “[PIAS] handled all the distribution for our label’s former incarnation when we were Mushroom-Infectious Records. We had five great years together then, sold a lot of records and in the end it was an easy choice to hook back up with Pete Thompson, Kenny Gates and their team who have always done a great job for us. They are very transparent to work with, they know the European distribution market inside out and I’m delighted we are back in business together”.
[PIAS] top bloke Peter Thompson added: “We’re absolutely delighted to be working with Korda again. Our paths cross at frequent intervals and they’ve always been productive and fun. This looks like it could be the best yet and certainly Korda’s first signing, Temper Trap, are an amazing band with huge potential. Everyone at [PIAS] UK is extremely excited about this band and the re-emergence of Infectious as a modern record label”.
