Nickelbacks Chad Kroeger and Entertainment Attorney Jonathan Simkin team up to form 604 Records Vancouver, Canada - Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and entertainment attorney Jonathan Simkin have joined forces to create 604 RECORDS, a production company licensed under Roadrunner Records. 604 RECORDS has struck a deal with Roadrunner for the world excluding Canada. Simkin and Kroeger have also done a separate deal for Canada with Universal Music Canada, Roadrunners Canadian licensee. The influential Canadian duo aims to seek out and develop undiscovered talent in the music world not only in North America, but globally. As Nickelbacks attorney, Simkin has been working with Kroeger for almost 6 years. Simkin states, Chad and I are doing something we are passionate about and truly enjoy. We both feel lucky and blessed to have this opportunity. Not only do we get to directly participate in the production and development of new talent, but we get to explore and participate in both the creative and business aspects of the music business. It is extremely rewarding. Recently the two collaborated in shaping Canadian band Default. Defaults first single Wasting My Time has hit the top five on numerous rock charts and the album itself, The Fallout, quickly reached gold status in the U.S. and Canada. Kroeger produced and co-wrote some of the songs on the album. When the road beckoned Nickelback, Simkin took over to shop the band, help the band develop its live show, and handled the bands business matters. The bands signing to TVT and subsequent success prompted the duo to earnestly consider starting a label. This team is undeniably on to something. The first signing to 604 RECORDS is Theory of a Deadman. In a scene that is preoccupied with creating a specific sound, Theorys frontman Tyler Connelly has a unique gift for sculpting poetic lyricism and relaying stories in the bands songs. Simkin and Kroeger were drawn to Theory of a Deadmans live presence; its rare these days that a band can generate an album where every song is appealing and for that band to effectively execute such songs on stage. With Kroeger and Simkins vision, and Roadrunners passion for the act, success should follow.
