Chocolate Industries and Artist To Market Distribution (A2M) Announce Exclusive Distribution Agreement for The Cool Kids Debut Release, The Bake Sale

TROY, Mich., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Artist To Market Distribution(A2M) today announced it has entered into an agreement with Chicago based label, Chocolate Industries, to be the exclusive distributor of the label's highly-anticipated debut release from The Cool Kids, The Bake Sale. The Bake Sale will be released on June 10th, 2008, and will carry a suggested retail price of $9.98.

As with prior agreements, A2M provides artists, labels, and content owners of all kinds with a streamlined and flexible supply chain solution to both traditional and non-traditional music retail outlets, thus bypassing the traditional music label infrastructure. This allows the album to be offered at an attractive price to consumers, while enabling retailers to achieve a fair profit margin.

Seven Bedard, Creative Director of Chocolate Industries, stated, "Working with A2M will open new doors and possibilities for The Cool Kids and Chocolate Industries, and we are looking forward to working with this innovative company."

Paul Ignasinski, General Manager of A2M, commented, "We're beyond excited to be partnering with The Cool Kids, Seven, and the entire Chocolate Industries staff. It's great to be involved not only with this incredible project, but also with a group of people motivated and genuinely excited to approach the business in a fundamentally new way. In a business so full of pessimism and sky-is-falling attitudes, these guys are invigorating and we at A2M hope this is just the start of a long and fruitful relationship."

The Cool Kids are in the midst of a sold-out world tour, including stints with M.I.A., the upcoming Rock the Bells tour, and high-profile festival performances such as Coachella 2008, Lollapalooza 2008, and South-By-Southwest (SXSW) 2008.
