RECORDS GOES BULLISTIC
Mechanicsville,
VA - July 2005 - Backstreet Records announces
it has signed Bullistic of Richmond, VA,
to the label. Bullistic released its new
Backstreet album in August 2005 and promote
it with a national tour.
While
the actual signing took place in February
of this year, Backstreet executives chose
to hold the announcement until the band
was able to complete the recording process.
Bullistic
already has a great fan base and plays a
very busy schedule. We felt it best to not
apply any more pressure the announcement
of their signing during the creative process,”
says Backstreet Records President Linwood
Toombs. “Already a number of radio
stations are champing at the bit to get
their hands on this release.”
Bullistic's
Backstreet debut was recorded with Jeff
Covert’s team of engineers at the
Grammy-nominated Wally Cleaver’s Recording
Studio in Fredericksburg, VA. The recording
was mastered by Roger Lian, a mastering
engineer for Masterdisk Corp. in New York,
NY.
Since
1998, Lian has mastered numerous records
for artists including Faith Hill, Powerman
5000, Mariah Carey, Slayer, Pantera, Staind,
U2 and LL Cool J. He was also responsible
for mastering all eight of Backstreet Records’
global releases from 1994 to 2002. These
Backstreet albums were from Trixter, Meliah
Rage, Skate the Razor, John Flywheel, Grady
Cain, Axis Y, Graffix 420 and Uncle Jack.
About
Backstreet Records
Backstreet Records was established in 1993.
The label emerged from Backstreet Entertainment,
an artist development and management company
owned and operated by Jack Krenicki since
the early 1980s. Backstreet Records was
formed as a joint venture between Backstreet
Entertainment and producer Tony Bongiovi,
owner of the world renowned Power Station
recording studio in New York City. Backstreet
Records is credited with eight global releases
from 1994 to 2002.
While
not actively seeking new submissions, Backstreet
Records continued to promote and distribute
its back catalog. In 2004, the idea to re-launch
Backstreet Records with a bold new look
and feel was born. Linwood Toombs of Mechanicsville,
VA, stepped in as president of Backstreet
Records. Krenicki remains with the label
as vice president. Toombs and Krenicki have
set out to bring back the artist development
that has been sorely lacking in the music
industry. Together they have assembled a
powerhouse team of marketers, publicists
and other industry professionals and look
forward to their highly anticipated new
releases.
