Frontiers Records is synonymous with quality melodic music in the rock, progressive, and metal genres.  With over 400 records under its belt and chart success in all the core markets of Europe and Asia, Frontiers has become the European home of rock music greats such as Journey, Styx, Toto, Night Ranger, Winger, Dokken, White Lion, and many more. With the strategic move to open a US office and ink a direct distribution deal with Super D, Frontiers is now looking to increase the success story that started 12 years ago in a small room in Naples, Italy, under the initiative of the label’s President Serafino Perugino.

“We look forward to the fans’ reaction,” said Perugino.  “We are releasing new music from some real rock music giants and we are convinced that US is the natural home to their music.” “I am excited to be working with artists whose bands I’ve been a fan of for so many, many years,” said US Label Manager Bryan Mechutan.   Super D Independent Distribution (SDID) is the recipient of the NARM Small Distributor of The Year award.
