Springman Records today announced a move to indie distributor Lumberjack/Mordam after a few years with the Sony/BMG owned Red Music.

Springman owner Avi Ehrlich wrote a statement about the switch on the label's site, among which he explained:

Every distributor has relative strengths and weaknesses, but after extensive research and looking over a number of impressive offers, I am confident in saying that our new deal with the Lumberjack Mordam Music Group is the best option right now for us and our bands.

They really understand how the independent music scene works and what it takes to develop bands. Their sales reps were the most knowledgeable out of any distributors we spoke with about the bands on our roster, and the bands that the artists on our roster look up to.

And it's nice that their main warehouse, along with half of their sales reps, is right down the street.

Springman brings a catalog which includes Big D and the Kids Table, Groovie Ghoulies, The Phenomenauts, Tera Melos and others.
