Posted on: Wednesday, 12 November 2008, 09:00 CST
Lionsgate says it is teaming up with the U.S. independent record label Wind-up Records in an effort to expand Lionsgate's music-publishing operations.
Lionsgate said it will exclusively use music from Wind-up Records for its VH1 reality show "Scream Queens" and prominently feature Wind-up acts such as Seether in the upcoming action thriller "Punisher: War Zone," which is scheduled to premiere Dec. 5, with the soundtrack dropping Nov. 26.
Lionsgate Music President Jay Faires said in a statement: "Wind-up is the most influential rock-leaning independent label in America and a natural fit for our next generation consumers. We see this as the first in a series of deals with genre leaders and we're very excited to be in business with them as our growing film and TV slate calls for more rock music."
"Wind-up is very excited to be in this new strategic relationship with Lionsgate. Wind-up and Lionsgate are like-minded companies that are committed to developing and breaking artists," added Wind-up President Edward Vetri.
