Talk About Rock Music

For all you bands out there who haven’t hit the big time yet and had Roadrunner Records sign you to their label, you may be wondering what you need to do to get your music heard.  Have you thought about selling or giving away cds at your gigs.  This is a great way of getting your media out into the big wide world if you can’t afford to host and design your own site and set up your own download pages.  You do have the option of your own myspace page which is free, but lets face it, who uses myspace anymore?  It is also a really good way of getting more interest in your live shows.  Offer a competition of free signed cd giveaways?  Sell the rest and make a profit on what you spent on getting the cds made.

There are companies out there that will burn your music to a cd, print the cd with your own design and even sort out the cd case and booklet that goes with it.  (I’ve already tried this as a DIY job at home and believe me, it is more cost effective to get someone else to do it!) You can get some more information about your band in the booklet and into the real world rather than it being stuck in the rehearsal studio and limited to when and where you play live gigs.

So what do you have to do to get a professional looking cd?  Get your tracks recorded and send them off for CD Duplication.  Your music will be burnt to the disc and your cd image printed on it.  You’ll receive your discs back in a few days to be sent out to the ready and waiting ears of your increasing fan base.  Before you know it, you’ll hear people driving past in their cars with your songs blaring out of their speakers.

So what are you waiting for?  Get your music out there and before you know it you’ll be headlining at Download!!
