According to Capitol Christian Music Group President and CEO Bill Hearn, "It's been my privilege to work alongside Brandon Ebel for the last twelve years. He's a great record man and has developed some of our industry's best artists and music. Together we have built a strong catalog which CCMG will continue to develop and grow. I wish Brandon continued success as he re-establishes himself as one of the leaders in the independent music community."

“Our partnership with EMI has been very successful, and we are grateful for the opportunities we have had with Bill Hearn and his team over the last twelve years. We are confident that our artists' back catalogs will be well served under CCMG. Moving forward we are excited to continue developing our artists on Tooth & Nail Records, Solid State Records, and BEC Recordings” said Ebel, Founder and President of Tooth & Nail.

Tooth & Nail Founder and co-owner Brandon Ebel will retain rights to all label names and trademarks and will re launch Tooth & Nail as an independent label group, with forthcoming releases planned from August Burns Red, The Almost, Demon Hunter, Emery, Icon For Hire, Nine Lashes, Living Sacrifice, and All Things New among others. Details of release dates and distribution for the new label will be announced soon. During the transition period, Capitol Christian Music Distribution will continue to distribute all Tooth & Nail products.

BEC Recordings’ award-winning artist Jeremy Camp's catalog and recent #1 Christian SoundScan debut, Reckless (February 2013) will now be supported by the Capitol CMG Label Group for all A&R, marketing and promotion. Camp is currently performing on the highly successful Rock and Worship Road Show with Mercy Me, Family Force 5, Kutless and Luminate, among others. Additionally, Camp’s debut single “Reckless” is currently #7 on the AC Indicator and #12 on the AC Monitored charts.

About Tooth & Nail Records
What began in a bedroom over a decade ago has grown organically to become the enthusiastic support system behind many of the most important rock bands operating, including Underoath, Emery, Hawk Nelson and The Almost. With headquarters in Seattle and offices in Nashville, Tennessee and elsewhere, Tooth & Nail Records also owns Solid State Records (Demon Hunter, August Burns Red) and BEC Recordings (Jeremy Camp, All Things New, Kutless). Label founder Brandon Ebel became immersed in the network of musicians, clubs, fanzines and promoters who were making waves with bands whose positive messages (whether translated through melodic punk or heavy rock) and creative, inspired music. Driven to this unique perspective, the music press has caught on and embraced many T&N bands the kids already knew. With bands like Icon for Hire, The Letter Black, Love and Death, Emery and more, Tooth & Nail will continue to be a vital, dominant presence in the contemporary music scene as an independent label of Brandon Ebel.
