Seattle Vinyl Imprint Tsurumi Records Joins Frenchkiss Label Group For Digital Distribution


Seattle-based indie punk and garage rock record label Tsurumi Records joins NYC-based Frenchkiss Label Group for their digital distribution.

Tsurumi will issue their first ever soundtrack for the underground indie horror flick “The Revenant” this Spring. “The Revenant” marks their first release through Frenchkiss as well. It will be available online beginning April 16.

Tsurumi Records is a label that also focuses on vinyl productions. Their titles are independently distributed at local and regional record shops throughout the country. They are home to garage punks the Beautiful Mothers, indie rockers Fonzarelli, experimental Japanese rock band Golden, the Second Academy, the Mustang Jerx and DJ Macky Ramone (find out more from label head Jeff Davis on how he got “knighted” by Marky many years ago).

“My attitudes and tastes about music mirror that of FrenchKiss and therefore many of my creative values and professional goals are being met. I couldn’t be more thrilled,” comments Tsurumi Records owner and founder Jeff Davis.
