Frontiers Music Srl

ITALIAN rock record label FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL has entered into a wide-ranging distribution partnership with THE ORCHARD, RED DISTRIBUTION and SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT covering global digital distribution as well as select physical distribution in a number of key territories around the world.  

Under the agreement -- which builds upon a long-running successful relationship between THE ORCHARD and FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL -- THE ORCHARD will continue to provide global digital distribution to the label. In addition, RED DISTRIBUTION and SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT AUSTRALIA will now handle physical distribution for the label in NORTH AMERICA, AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND, respectively.

The enhanced collaboration kicks off in 2017 with a release slate that includes records from MICHAEL BOLTON, NIGHT RANGER, STEELHART, TNT and others. 

THE ORCHARD and FRONTIERS MUSIC's decade-long relationship included working side by side on global digital strategy, marketing and sales for releases from classic acts such as WHITESNAKE, RICK SPRINGFIELD, ASIA and BOSTON as well as up and coming EUROPEAN artists such as ECLIPSE, INGLORIOUS RAVENEYE and ONE DESIRE.

"THE ORCHARD has been FRONTIERS' strategic digital partner for several years," FRONTIERS MUSIC Pres. SERAFINO PERUGINO said. "Their support, dedication and belief has been truly amazing. They have been the foundation for the success of the label on the international markets. The deal with RED and SONY MUSIC marks a step forward in the strategic assets for the FRONTIERS label in the years to come, which is now fully under the SONY MUSIC umbrella in NORTH AMERICA and AUSTRALIA as well. I wish to take the opportunity and thank RED/SONY MUSIC and THE ORCHARD for their belief, passion and good will toward the label."

"It's gratifying to see FRONTIERS evolve into the powerhouse label they are today," THE ORCHARD CEO BRAD NAVIN said. "They are passionate about connecting fans around the world with music they love. This new chapter will take our partnership to the next level.  It's going to be fun."

"FRONTIERS have built a connoisseurs rock and metal label that will be a perfect addition to RED's family of labels," RED Pres. BOB MORELLI said. "SERAFINO's knowledge, years of success and expertise in marketing rock artists is extraordinary and we look forward to expand their reach to a broader audience."
