A waste

As our discussions with MAPLEWOOD and their lawyer were close to end up with a licensing deal, I just discovered they album was released in France in january by Chronowax. Their american label exported finish product.
I set up Martingale for this : avoiding a waste of many great albums released this way, with very small level of promotion, no ambition, no chance for the band to achieve something in France. I am a bit upset. We will see with the band what we can do and keep you informed on this website.

Two new acts on Martingale and a nice imported single

We proudly annonce Martingale just signed deals regarding two great acts : American FEABLE WEINER and French VERONE. Also available from us : a nice imported single from Swedish band REVL9N.

FEABLE WEINER's rock music is often compared to Weezer or Greenday. Energy, great melodies and sense of humour are their best weapons. Debut album to be released in october.
Paris' VERONE build an incredibly ethereal and rich indie pop music, using electronic as a tool, with a rare voice and great lyrics in French. Debut album to be released late 2004 / early 2005.
From NY to Paris, many people started to keep an eye on REVL9N a few months ago. Now, they release 'Walking Machine', a first single extracted from forthcoming debut album. No doubt here is the most skilled band of all electro-punk movement. Single available at Colette's or from our online shop.
