BULLY! PULPIT RECORDS ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH NETTWERK MUSIC GROUP; ORANGE COUNTY'S MOLLY JENSON IS FIRST TO JOIN THE LABEL ROSTER

HOLLYWOOD, CA- (May 19, 2008) --Bully! Pulpit Records has announced a joint venture partnership with industry veterans Nettwerk Music Group, home to top artists like Sarah McLachlan, Avril Lavigne and The Cardigans, and the new imprint is celebrating with its first artist signing, Orange County, CA based singer/songwriter Molly Jenson.

Named after President Teddy Roosevelt's famous assertion that the presidency was a "bully pulpit," or a "great place from which to give one's opinions," Bully! Pulpit Records is a part of the multi-media web portal, Bullypulpit.com which includes a daily updated news site, talk show, speaker's bureau and a film and book line.

"We couldn't have found a better partner for this label than Terry McBride and Nettwerk," noted Bully Pulpit Records Founder, Mark Joseph. "Terry has a great vision for the future of the music industry. We look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration."

Joseph, an award-winning record producer, film development executive and author has worked with artists like Lauryn Hill, P.O.D., MxPx, Andrae Crouch, ZZ Top and others and has supervised the international releases of over 70 records including Sixpence None the Richer, Chevelle and the rock band Mozart.

"We are pleased to partner with Mark and Bully! Pulpit," noted Terry McBride, CEO of Nettwerk. "Molly is the first artist Mark brought us and we can't wait to hear what he'll bring next."

Joseph plans to sign both new and veteran artists who he believes have second acts as well as international artists who are looking to impact the U.S. market.

"We'll do a mix of new artists and a few legacy artists and we'll be looking for international talent as well," noted Joseph who grew up in Tokyo and has also worked with a dozen Japanese artists over the last two decades. "We live in a disposable society that throws artists away once they've had their one hit. Molly represents the best of a new generation of artists, but we'll also be bringing back some artists who have still have great music left to make."

Jenson has garnered significant national media attention from media outlets like NPR, was recently named "Best New Artist" by Teen Vogue Magazine, and as KRGL's "Artist of the Month."

Of his label's name, Joseph noted, "Bully! Pulpit is all about giving each of our artists a platform from which to express themselves and make great art. Molly is not only an amazing musician, but also a great songwriter who has a lot of important things to say and she's the perfect artist to launch our label with."
