Shock Form Alliance WIth UK Label Sevices Company Kartel

2013 has already been a big year for Shock Records and the label have continued to move forward with new developments, signing a deal with London-based music management and label services company Kartel.

The deal will see the two work together on the releases of artists, a few which they have already confirmed over the coming weeks. New albums from The Drowning Men, To Kill A King, Teitur and Flithy Boy will all be released within the next couple of months through the partnership.

Kartel were first established in 2003 as an artist management company and own a number of independent labels.

Of the merger, Charles Kirby-Welch, Founder of Kartel said the Shock were the perfect match for their organisation.

"There's many synergies between the cultures and ambitions of us both that from our first meetings with the team it felt like Shock was the perfect partnership for delivering success in Australasia for Kartel and our growing roster of labels and artists."

Shock recently completed their 2013 staff restructure which has seen mass changes within the company this year.
