Legendary CHICAGO-based blues and roots label ALLIGATOR RECORDS will be represented for physical distribution in the U.S. by AMPED DISTRIBUTION, a division of ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT. AMPED reps over 150 labels. For the last 18 years, ALLIGATOR has been distributed by RYKO DISTRIBUTION and ADA.
Commented ALLIGATOR RECORDS Founder and President BRUCE IGLAUER, “We’re sad to be leaving ADA, who have been great partners throughout this volatile time in the industry. ALLIGATOR has been blessed with strong national distribution for many years, beginning in 2000 with RYKO DISTRIBUTION, which later morphed into ADA. We look forward to continuing success as a member of AMPED’s family of labels.”
AMPED DISTRIBUTION head DEAN TABAC added, "BRUCE IGLAUER and his staff have established ALLIGATOR RECORDS to be one of the most iconic and important blues labels ever. AMPED is thrilled and honored to be entrusted as its new distributor and to become a part of their growing legacy for years to come. AMPED's ability to connect ALLIGATOR's impressive roster of quintessential artists with fans wherever they shop is the core of who we are and we are delighted BRUCE feels the same way."
ALLIGATOR's upcoming 2019 releases include THE KENTUCKY HEADHUNTERS'' "Live At The Ramblin' Man Fair," TOMMY CASTRO & THE PAINKILLERS' "Killin' It Live." as well as new releases from TORONZO CANNON, COCO MONTOYA, THE CASH BOX KINGS, THE NICK MOSS BAND featuring DENNIS GRUENLING and more.
