Victory Records Signs Distribution Deal With Hand Of Hope Records

Victory Records in Chicago, IL., has added another exclusively distributed label to its growing roster of distributed companies.

Miami based Hand of Hope Records will now be exclusively distributed by Victory in North America. Hand of Hope co-founder John Wylie said, 'The idea for Hand of Hope Records began late last year. I had become good friends with Christopher Brown from the band Evergreen Terrace over the past few years. Chris has always had a great ear for music and a tremendous work ethic as seen with the growing success of his band. Together we decided to start a label that will combine everything that I have learned while running Eulogy Records over the past 5 years with Chris' experience as a booking agent and touring musician. Our goal is to create a place where bands can have all the benefits of promotion and great distribution while feeling at home on a label that can understand their needs and support them as musicians. The debut release will come from Evergreen Terrace due out early summer followed quickly by many great new artists.

'John and I have known one another for many years and have always wanted to do something together,' says Victory’s Tony Brummel. 'I always want passionate music people around me that have a gift for nurturing and finding new talent. John and Chris have that gift.'
