Skateboard Marketing Ltd., North America's premiere independent radio promotion company is proud to announce their 15th anniversary. The company who's specialty
is hard rock and heavy metal radio promotion. Skateboard Marketing Ltd. was founded by former PolyGram Records Radio Promotion Executive Munsey Ricci in 1991.
Ricci who created the first metal department for PolyGram Records in New York. Thus filling a much needed gap for the company's ever growing roster. He quickly
established Skateboard Marketing Ltd. based on extreme music for Indie, major and European Labels who otherwise would not have has an outlet for North America's
hungry music scene. "There is something more important than just getting a record played on the radio" states Munsey Ricci. "It's about the metal fan and all fans of music
in general" Someone has to be there to for them and the bands, labels and management companies that would otherwise not have an outlet to expose their music.
The company has handled in the past fifteen years legendary rock and metal heavyweights as Black Sabbath, Metallica, Pantera, Kid Rock, Motorhead, Iron Maiden,
Judas Priest, Morbid Angel and Black Label Society among countless others. The company continues to be the frontlines focusing on the aggressive edge of the musical
spectrum.
Highlighting the company's Fifteen years there will be a private showcase during this years 2006 CMJ Music Convention In New York. This is a yearly tradition, like a
right of passage for the entire metal Community to converge and bond. Talent will be announced next week. It is a joint venture with Century Media Records who also
celebrate their 15th anniversary and Victory Records in Chicago.
Featuring a wealthy roster with the company's leading artists for the past 15 years, it's an awesome ride. Both myself, and Richie Burke, are looking forward to another
15 years.
Still Loud, Still Hard, Still Heavy.
