TuneCore Partners with Hot Topic For ShockHound.com

August 26, 2008

ShockHound.com, Hot Topic Inc.'s new online initiative, is teaming up with TuneCore.com to provide an artist friendly solution for efficient MP3 delivery. Shockhound.com (http://www.shorefire.com/clients/tunecore/) is an explosion of music culture, filled with millions of MP3s, a massive selection of band merchandise, exclusive interviews and videos of your favorite bands, and a community of fellow music addicts who crave new sounds. ShockHound.com has exclusively partnered with TuneCore to provide the solution for any band to get their music into the Shockhound.com store within a few days: all artists are welcome. ShockHound.com carries MP3s from the majors, thousands of indie labels and now music from TuneCore's customers.

Courtesy of ShockHound.com upon their launch, TuneCore customers can have one album, EP or single delivered into the Shockhound.com store without the usual $0.99 delivery charge. To take advantage of this offer, artists and musicians will follow a link from ShockHound.com to a special, co-branded ShockHound/TuneCore page.

"Hot Topic knows music and music fans," says TuneCore founder and President Jeff Price. "They connect the two better than anyone on the planet. For the first time, an on-line store will provide music discovery and sharing while giving the fan the opportunity to buy music via download, along with t-shirts, accessories, vinyl and other band merchandise. ShockHound.com fits naturally with TuneCore: the partnership lets all music creators into previously unreachable parts of the industry."
