Los Angeles, CA, April 25, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Toucan Cove Entertainment has just signed an exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with Universal Republic, a division of Universal Motown Records Group (UMRG), effective immediately.
The extraordinary achievement of Toucan Cove in 2005 and 2006 caught the attention of the music industry. It was the only truly independent label in the Top 40 and on Billboard’s Top Pop 100 with Saving Jane’s “Girl Next Door.” The song was chosen as the theme for MTV’s new highly-rated doc series “Tiara Girls,” which premiered this month. The label also charted Frickin’ A’s “Jessie’s Girl” at #2 on the Billboard Singles chart (which was the first indie song ever chosen for the NOW 18 release) and “Poison” by Groove Coverage into the Top 20.
On June 6, the first three albums in this new relationship will be released: The Muckrakers debut album, FRONT OF THE PARADE is a critical darling – XM Café called it “the breakthrough album of 2006.” Groove Coverage GREATEST HITS includes the second single, “Moonlight Shadow.” Stereo Fuse delivers modern rock ready for radio as well as arenas. The upcoming release date for ALL THAT REMAINS coincides with multi-sport promotions that package Stereo Fuse samplers with new top-of-the-line Spalding King of the Beach volleyballs, and have the band performing at nationally televised surfing competitions.
