Infectious Music

Infectious Records is a record label whose bands have included Ash, Symposium, My Vitriol, Seafood, The Paradise Motel and The Subways. Infectious was established by Korda Marshall after leaving RCA, and became part of Marshall's Mushroom Records UK (now A&E Records) operation in the mid 1990s.

The first band signed to the label was PWEI, who had followed Marshall from RCA records where they had released a number of albums such as This Is The Day, This Is The Hour, This Is This!. However with the sell-off of Mushroom Records' UK operations to the Warner Music Group, the role of Infectious within the A&E operations was decreased, with most acts being labeled under Warner's main brands such as Atlantic Records. Even so the record label was used again by the multinational group for newly signed "developing" indie acts such as The Subways, who feature under a joint City Pavement/Infectious brand name.

In January 2009 it was announced that Korda Marshall would be relaunching Infectious Records. With support financially from Mushroom Group Chairman Michael Gudinski and theatre and sports entrepreneur Michael Watt, Marshall has hired former Infectious Records executives Pat Carr of Remote Control Records and Mirelle Davis of Wind Up Bird as consultants to oversee General Management and International Marketing respectively for the new company and has engaged Robert Horsfall and Mike Skeet’s teams at Sound Advice to handle the company’s legal and financial affairs.

The first signing to the newly relaunched label was Melbourne band The Temper Trap, who are also signed to Gudinksi's Australian label Liberation.
