EXCLUSIVE: SGC Media Launch Imprint With Sticky Fingers, The Trouble With Templeton

Brisbane-based music publicity and media company SGC Media are set to launch their own specialty imprint with the likes of Sticky Fingers, The Trouble With Templeton and The Love Junkies.

Title Track will largely be managed by Sarah Chipman, who has been appointed A&R manager, and will utilise the recourses of SGC Media but with a 'label-style' A&R approach to emerging artists.

“Title Track is going to be about finding the best new artists no matter where they are and working with them to create campaigns that fit their individual needs and grow with them,” said Chipman.

The full launch roster includes Sydney’s Sticky Fingers (album out Friday 1 August), Melbourne’s Pretty City, Perth’s The Love Junkies (album due September) and Brisbane’s The Trouble with Templeton, Babaganouj, Moses Gunn Collective and Grand Pavilion (the latter two with new tracks due this month). Los Angeles’ The Growlers are also part of Title Track, via Smackface Records.

SGC’s other clients include Chugg Music, Skinnyfish Music, Ambition Entertainment and BIGSOUND, amongst others.

“Building a band from the ground up is very different to promoting an artist with a profile. Traditional media are is still relevant, but social media, blogs, alternative radio and building live audiences are just as essential to building a true fan base,” said Chipman.

SGC’s Managing Director Stephen Green added, “This year has been incredible for SGC as we finally see our vision of the company to provide independent music marketing options that can compete on a major level coming to fruition. So far this year we’ve helped our clients to a top five album, a number one single, over a dozen TV appearances and more success to come with some of the amazing records that will be released in the coming months.

“Cutting edge music and discovering new artists has always been in our DNA and through Sarah’s leadership, Title Track will ensure that there’s a sharp focus and flexibility for new artists trying to break through while giving access to higher end media and strategic planning through SGC’s networks.”
