Band Members:
We have over 40 years experience of the music business (not only as musicians in bands ourselves but also as self promoters and organisers) We have identified the need for someone to help new bands in this area get a leg-up and a decent start.
This includes some very professional visual input, web design, marketing and importantly studio production. The whole package for getting a product out there (as bar-coded, shrink wrapped cds, available through local stores as well as through mail order from major websites, as well as digital delivery through iTunes, Napster, and a host of others)
From (often bitterly learned) experience we are aware of what it takes to get your music into high street shops and on radio. Our remit, initially is to get a legitimate product available. Major labels are looking for bands that present themselves as a business viability. Our aim is to provide "accessibility" and "legitimacy" for a bands music.
We do not operate on an "investment capital" level, but we do support artists that we believe in. Rather than offer an 'advance on earnings' payment (as is the norm with the multiples) we charge for services as a pay as you go basis, as many new bands have little budget. When you get an advance on royalties from a major, it is based on predicted sales and if it doesn't work out, bands have often been left in debt to the tune of thousands and a contract for three further albums!. We will, however, push you as far as you want to go. Your choice, your goals.
