Today I began work for a friends absolutely incredible company, Feedbands. I want to tell you all a little about it. A musical dark age: After decades of incredible music, the future suddenly looked uncertain. Everything had gone digital in an analog world. Fans were stealing music like it was some kind of drug. Music companies were paying artists pennies. Great music had all but vanished from the land. And all that bands wanted to do was put out a record. But is not lost. What if someone could find great new artists, press their albums to vinyl, and distribute the records all over the world? What if this someone paid the artists upfront and let them keep all their rights? What if listeners could vote for their favorite new music and help decide which artists get pressed? Enter Feedbands. We are an experimental crowdsourced record company dedicated to spreading awesome tunes and supporting independent musicians. With Feedbands, you can listen to the music that artists submit to us, vote on your favorites, and see the highest-rated bands get their record pressed. Then, when you subscribe to Feedbands, we ship the record right to your door each month. We are curious now to infiltrate into these key established and upcoming cities including SF/Oakland, LA, Portland, Seattle, Austin, New Orleans, Asheville, Nashville, Burlington, NYC, Catskills/Hudson/Kingston, DC, Chicago, Philly, Denver, Boulder, Missoula, Detroit, Richmond, Chattanooga, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Louisville, Savannah, etc. So I ask, what are your favorite local record shops in these cities? Who are your favorite burgeoning and unsigned artists with unparalleled talent? I want to hear from you. It is absolutely ok if you reference yourself. We want to hear from you...
