Bryan Remington [ iTunes Release = Feb 15th ]

About Me

For in-depth project details, read my latest blog.
For the short version, here's a brief summary:
1 - I hate the way major labels are flooding the market with sellout bands.
2 - Instead of aimlessly bitching about it, Iâ€™m going to destroy sellout music.
3 - I'm releasing 'City of Ember' on iTunes in January. It sounds like it would be on the radio, but the "sellout perfection" of this songs brilliantly hides it's sarcastically hilarious lyrics.
4 - By combating sellout music with music that sounds like Top 40 but lyrically makes fun of Top 40, I can trick people into thinking my songs are real songs by a serious artist.
5 - When people eventually read into my lyrics and realize they make a mockery of sellout music, they will reanalyze their musical tastes and hopefully stop supporting sellout artists.
By forcing myself into pop-culture, I can fucking obliterate sellout music.
If I can get the public behind me, even the smallest financial boycott of
sellout bands would have a lasting effect on the industry. This would
reestablish mainstream musical innovation by forcing major labels
to remember a word they have completely forgotten: Originality.
Consumers dictate who major labels sign.
We can't ever fully eliminate sellout music.
However, our buying patters can cancel it's majority.
December 30th Project Update

The release date for 'City of Ember' is February 15th.
Also, I'm out of town until January 5th, so I won't have any access to the internet.
