Miami based Hand of Hope Records will now be exclusively distributed by Victory in North America. Hand of Hope co-founder John Wylie said, "The idea for Hand of Hope Records began late last year. I had become good friends with Christopher Brown from the band Evergreen Terrace over the past few years. Chris has always had a great ear for music and a remendous work ethic as seen with the growing success of his band. Together we decided to start a label that will combine everything that I have learned while running Eulogy Records over the past 5 years with Chris' experience as a booking agent and touring musician. Our goal is to create a place where bands can have all the benefits of promotion and great distribution while feeling at home on a label that can understand their needs and support them as musicians. The debut release will come from Evergreen Terrace due out early summer followed quickly by many great new artists."
