COLIN RAYE ALL I CAN BE IS A SWEET MEMORY
September 24th, 2009 | Author: admin
was the first of four consecutive albums released by Raye to achieve RIAA platinum certification in the United States for sales of one million copies each. Throughout the 1990s, Collin continued to produce Top Ten singles on the country music charts. By the end of the decade, however, his momentum had slowed; 2001’s Can’t Back Down was his first album that did not produce a Top 40 country hit, and he was dropped by his record label soon afterward.[1] He did not record another studio album …

7 Secrets For Promoting Your New Album
September 24th, 2009 | Author: admin
Promoting your new album is hard, especially in this turbulent world of the music industry. Fans have so many choices, and there are so many artists that even the top ones are finding it difficult to find mass appeal. So how do you stand out?
1. Prolong the release date of the album as long as possible to get more hype. This technique has been used a lot lately, especially in the rap industry. Artists claim their album will come out a certain date, and just prolong the album to get more attention and coverage. Eminem did this, and it worked great for his album, Relapse, which debuted at #1 Billboard chart after selling 608,000 copies in the first week.
2. Get your music on iTunes. Putting your name on iTunes for many fans will make you appear more official, or legitimate. Even if you don’t think you will sell a lot, appearing on iTunes is a great marketing strategy for yourself to get your name, and sound out there.
3. Give people an incentive to buy your album, other than the music. If you plant prizes in your album (i.e. concert tickets, money, autographs, etc.), that will add to more album sales and exposure for your new album. Also, including other parties for your prizes, like giving away a gift card to Guitar Center, will possibly open up more doors and connections with those companies. Chamillionaire is a pro at additional incentives for his fans. You can see this with his new album, where he is giving away select albums with special artwork, and $100 to those that win his contest.
4. Appeal to a wider variety of crowds. If you limit your crowd base to one type people, you will get much less exposure and fans, thus, less album sales. If you can appeal to many types of people, from all kinds of backgrounds, you will get a much larger fan base and album sales. MJ was a master at this, as he broke nearly all the boundaries of genres and crowds and still to this day has the #1 selling album of all time.
5. Your music needs to be catchy. You can’t have sales without a good product. Thriller is one of the best sounding albums as well. No matter how much hype, or marketing you have, you must have a good sounding album to get sales.
6. Overall look and theme of the album can draw fans. Your album’s theme, cover and the overall look of you (or your group/band) can have a influence on whether or not someone buys the album- especially at stores. If you, the name, or the album look cool people may buy it for that reason alone.
7. Be able to rock live performances. A great live performance will not only give a greater appreciation for your music, but it can also be the birthplace for more fans to appreciate your music and check you out. If I ever see a band that is amazing live, I always want to see what they can do in a recording studio. Are there other ideas that we have missed out? Let us know in the comments!

Farewell to Autumn Band Interview
September 17th, 2009 | Author: admin
This band is one that is very hard to pinpoint. With members from all over central PA, you can’t even pick one home for the band. Their sound is somewhere between industrial, goth and alternative rock, with a dark vein running through it all. The band lists their influences from Nine Inch Nails to early 80’s new wave and still to Seattle grunge.
We recently caught up with the band at the Sterling Hotel in Allentown, one of their favorite places to play, and I can see why. As part of an all industrial line-up, Allentown crowds know how to appreciate good industrial rock. The band showcased a few songs from their EP, “The Telegraph,” as well as some new songs, with a decidedly different sound. Singer Jeff explains, “The new songs are available through myspace and also their website. Our sound is changing, I think. Getting a little more aggressive than The Telegraph. If you take Telegraph as a ‘goth, alt’ record, then the songs we are working on currently are more on the industrial side. We are also currently working on, not so much a group of songs with a concept, but more so themed. The Telegraph was more of a look into a diary , and the newer songs are being written with a different theme, or purpose in mind.”
Being a goth band in central Pennsylvania doesn’t exactly sound easy. “We are definitely a minority,” the band explains, which explains why the band plays with such passion and dedication. With all-industrial shows like those hosted by The Sterling Hotel, though, goth bands are finding more and more fans in the area these days. The guys in FTA generally have to travel out of their immediate area for goth/industrial shows, but they tell us they’re hoping to bring more goth bands to the local scene. “We’re hoping to identify more with music fans locally to bring in some goth bands and do some more goth shows here.”
There was one question we just had to ask, after hearing a certain rumor: We’ve heard that you’ve been labeled as a violent band. What are your thoughts on that? The answer: Honestly that surprises us to hear. If people say our shows or band is violent or extreme than that’s what they get out of our performance and music and I’m definitely ok with that. We try to convey real feeling and real emotion through our shows and in our music. So I’m definitely ok with whatever people get out of what we are doing. Whether its violent, dark, emotional, heavy whatever; If one person can take something away from us and keep it with them, if only for a second, then we are definitely achieving what we are trying to do.
