226 Music Group, Inc. Update

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--226 Music Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: TTMG) announced today that after a series of unfortunate set backs the company will close it’s artist management division and is currently assessing the viability of it’s independent label division.

“We have encountered numerous obstacles starting with the tragic murder of Dimebag Darrell Abbott of Damageplan in late 1994”

On April 10, 2007, Drowning Pool terminated its artist management agreement with the Company, after eight years together. The Company also lost its record distribution with Sony’s independent label distribution subsidiary RED Distribution citing poor album sales by 226 recording artists Jacknife and Dryline. Additional artist management agreements with Walls Of Jericho and Damageplan have been terminated as well as joint venture recording projects including artists Lola Ray.

“We have encountered numerous obstacles starting with the tragic murder of Dimebag Darrell Abbott of Damageplan in late 1994,” stated Paul Bassman CEO of 226. “In addition, repeated personnel changes with Drowning Pool and the loss of their label deal with Windup Records delayed our timetable for launching their next record. These events ultimately impacted our ability to leverage those established artists and effectively launch new artists on the 226 label. At this time we are accessing all possible options to determine if 226 can remain a viable operating entity,” added Bassman.
