DIY Band Promotion
A few years ago before the internet was as BIG as it is now, I remember thinking about all the bands that were out there playing music that I had never heard of. Bands that I would never hear. I felt out of control.
Sure, there were bands that I loved listening to on mainstream radio and seeing play live in my area, but I was fully aware of the fact that there was no way that I was even getting a fraction of what was really going on musically around the country - or the world for that matter.
Fast forward to the present, and luckily the internet has been a key to helping solve my quandary. I can now easily access bands' music online, however, the amount of music seems infinite and overwhelming at times, which can also hinder the process of discovering new bands.
I started BandWeblogs.com because I wanted a place online where I could help myself and others discover new music and to spread the GOOD word about bands, musicians and artists - established and new. Signed and unsigned. All genres. Everywhere. I love receiving emails from bands and artists wanting to share their music. I also enjoy publishing their information on BandWeblogs.com.
There has been a large volume of news, music and review requests coming into my inbox as of late, and it frustrates me that I can't publish all of it, as there's only one me here, and only so many hours in the day.
At this point, my solution to this problem is to ask bands, musicians and artists to please leave a comment (not too long) with information about your music along with a couple links, so that readers can learn about you, listen to you - and hopefully buy your music.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello! This is a new release, currently on preorder on iTunes. It's called Running and it's a charity pop tune, that comes in a four track EP. It's racing for the charts and a review from you guys would be fantastic, please let me know if you'd like artwork or an mp3. Below is the story, followed by links to preorder, watch the video, and join the campaign.
Thanks, Silvia
Running - the single racing for the charts
Musician and first time marathon runner Silvia Costeloe is launching a single to fundraise for Leukaemia Care, in memory of her father.
Running is song that will leave you feeling breathless, as though you've just been for a run – even if you're just listening from your sofa.
As well as running a gruelling 26 miles (42 kilometers) at the London marathon, Silvia Costeloe is racing for the UK Top 40. With approximately 8,000 sales needed to secure a place in the charts, this race is equally tough. But Silvia Costeloe is feeling positive:
"I’m calling people, getting them to listen to the song, watch the video, join the facebook group and preorder Running on iTunes. If it makes it into the charts, there will be a lot of money for Leukaemia Care, which would be amazing."
The official release date for Running is the 19 April but it can already be preordered on iTunes, to help maximise the number of sales in the first week.
Sunday 25 April is not just the London marathon, but the closing day of the first week of sales, crucial for the charts. It will be a challenging day for Silvia Costeloe, but also for Leukaemia Care who would greatly benefit if the song got into the mainstream.
"I’m hoping people will buy it, enjoy it, and feel like they’ve been for a short run, even if they’re just commuting on the tube. On marathon day, I will use any energy I have left to get anyone who doesn't have a copy to download one, so it can hit the charts."
Here's how to get to it, listen to it, spread the word and watch the video - or just wish Silvia Costeloe good luck.
PREORDER RUNNING
This costs £1.29 of which £1.10 will go directly to Leukaemia Care – the rest is VAT and iTunes shares, no expenses are taken

New Song Featuring Michael Jackson from Rapper Cane Murphy Released to Help Haiti
In an effort to reach out to the people of Haiti, rapper Cane Murphy is releasing a new song featuring the late King of Pop himself-Michael Jackson.
“While thinking about the need for hope and the search for happiness that can sometimes be found in an uplifting song, the inspiration for ‘Reflections’ was born,” says Murphy. The world needs change, and it needs it now. “Reflections of the Man in the Mirror” was written by Murphy in the form of a letter to the late Michael Jackson, asking him for help remembering life’s highlights and becoming a driving force for change.
“Do we wait to see if the world will change, or do we start by looking at ourselves in the mirror?” asks Murphy. “The concept of the song is not only to ask ourselves to remember the good times, [but also] rising above like the people of Haiti and remembering not to stay stuck thinking about the bad times”.
“Reflections of the Man in the Mirror” will appear on “The March Mixtape Madness Halftime Report”, a mixtape hosted by DJ Khaled and sponsored by coast2coast, Datpiff and HipHopdx. The mixtape will be featured on the front pages of Hiphopdx.com, Datpiff.com and CaneMurphy.com. The song features vocals from Michael Jackson, lyrics from Cane Murphy, and a beautiful instrumental from Blue Metheny overlaid with drums and arranged by Murphy and Sinima. “Reflections of the Man in the Mirror” is available for download starting March 22, 2010.
Cane Murphy isn’t placing a price tag on the digital release of “Reflections”. Instead, he’s asking fans to give a $0.99 donation to download the fully mastered version of the song
from Cane Murphy.com. 100% of all sales will go directly toward helping the people of Haiti.
About Cane Murphy
Cane Murphy is all too familiar with tragedy. The rapper is currently awaiting a second spinal surgery following a devastating accident. “I am…awaiting a very dangerous second reconstructive spine operation, with titanium screws and rods drilled into my spine,” says Murphy. “Instead of just laying down at home, I fought through the pain to write and record this song while looking for hope and strength myself.”
Murphy is looking for partnership in the music industry to clear the sample and launch a radio campaign and bring “Reflections of the Man in the Mirror” into the homes, ears and hearts of men, women and children all over the world.

Tracey Dey comes from a long line of buttery sweet voices. Raised on Ella and Sarah with some Billie and Aretha thrown in, she is influenced by the fact that each of them sing purely with their own styles. With Duke Ellington, Grace Jones, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Nana Mouskouri and Calypso kings and queens playing on the home stereo she had a eclectic mix of compositional styles to draw on.
Her songs can be quirky and quietly observant of human nature, there is no trace of boredom-inducing irony and she sings with the immediacy of the emotions and ideas behind her words.

Midnight Horizon wants you! Unified by their mission to throw light on the growing list of societies inequalities and festering hypocrisy, Midnight Horizon delivers the wake up call for the under-trodden of Sydney, their thirst to spread their message of empathy, unity and unbridled anger a big middle finger at the dwindling live music scene.
Midnight Horizon prides themselves on delivering an energetic and eccentric live performance, spreading the word to anyone who dares listen, drawing to themselves like minded individuals and social misfits. Teaming up with a variety of similar working class bands. Their goal: To once again breathe fresh life into the music scene, rocking out in some of Sydney's few remaining venues who actively seek to support the live music scene and seeking more comrades in arms from the other working class bands struggling to once again relive the glory days.
Midnight Horizon's debut EP release saw them enjoy the generous hospitality of the Annandale Hotel, one of Sydney's, nay, Australia's greatest supporter's of live music. The band performing two whirl wind performances in less than a week, the shows fed by not only the energy of the band but the audience themselves.
Not content with restricting themselves to being merely an on-stage band, Midnight Horizon as a collective have also immersed themselves in other elements of the industry in an attempt to distinguish themselves as a par above the rest. The band boast amongst their number a pair of more than leading sound engineers, evidenced from their latest recording of "Turn The Tide" and continue to dedicate time to recording and mixing.

Hi,
Metamorphic are a sextet based in London. Their music consists mainly of original material and some arrangements, and draws from their interest in textures, music in dreams and the translation of transformative emotional experiences through composition and performance.
Metamorphic are: Chris Williams, alto (Led Bib); Kerry Andrew, vocals (Juice Vocal Trio); Tom Greenhalgh, drums (World Sanguine Report); John Martin, tenor (The John Martin Quartet); Paul Sandy, bass (Hey Negrita); and bandleader/composer/arranger Laura Cole on piano. The instrumentalists in the group all met while studying jazz at Middlesex University in London; vocalist Kerry Andrew became involved with the group through the promoter Moose Factory.
They will be releasing their full-length album in the autumn to coincide with the London Jazz Festival (Nov 17 @ Cafe Oto) and ensuing tour.
Thanks!

“LOOKOUT WORLD, TONY NEWTON’S “THUNDERFUNKFUSION” IS EXPLODING EVERYWHERE!”
Mean Streets Rock Magazine of Los Angeles states, "Tony Newton is a monumental master and true music visionary!"
Can you say “funk and Fusion” in the same sentence. Apparently so! Legendary multi-talented musician-composer-author, Tony Newton describes his new “THUNDERFUNKFUSION” 13 track hyper-dynamic CD as: Motown meets Hendrix meets Miles. If you love the music of Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Bootsy, you’re at the right place.
Tony Newton a revolutionary Bassist-Keyboardist-Vocalist shows that he is fully in touch with his powers of musical expression, on the new Quantum Media Music, THUNDERFUNKFUSION album creating an astounding blend and delicate balances of deep, soulful Funk in combination with the high-energy power, and intensity of Rock-Fusion. Newton takes the genre to a new level of artistic creativity in contemporary music’s evolution forward. Newton’s latest project brings him into the spotlight after a long career and large body of work. “THUNDERFUNKFUSION,” a dynamic mega-culture CD “, contains a multi-style, inspiring collection of instrumentals, vocal compositions and songs.
Newton, a musician’s hall of fame member who has performed on over 25 gold and platinum hit recordings. Acclaimed for his dynamic work with the famed jazz-rock-fusion group, the Tony Williams Lifetime, Newton, one of the original architects of funk-rock-fusion penned the classic compositions, Snake Oil, Red Alert, and others. In addition to being a prime Motown bassist-music director, performing on hit recordings and tours with such artists as; Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson(music Director), the Temptations, Aretha Franklin, The Funk Brothers and more, as well as working with veteran rock guitarist, Gary Moore in the British group G-Force. Tony also performed and composed with legendary guitarist and friend, Robby Krieger from the mega-group, The Doors, on Robby’s solo CD, “Cinematrix”.

I was not sure what to expect from the Dan Bruder Band's debut album "Act of Kindness". After all, this guy popped onto the music scene through his NJ-based rock comedy television series "Who the Hell is Dan Bruder” and the real life band that steps out of the show includes rock icons Liberty Devitto (Billy Joel), Lorenza Ponce (Bon Jovi), John Ginty (Robert Randolph/Citizen Cope), Muddy Shews (Southside Johnny) and Devon Allman (Honeytribe). The web series is about a slightly delusional, middle-aged wannabe rocker who can't let go of the dream of stardom and has been building a steady global following. The show has premiered this month to the 15 million viewers of Relix and had a feature article this week in the North Jersey Record newspaper http://www.northjersey.com/arts_entertainment/99817749_Dream_chaser.html?c=y&page=1 and in the upcoming issue of The New Jersey Aquarium.
But having a web hit is a far cry from being able to deliver meaningful music, great musician line-up or not. But I have to hand it to Bruder, he created an album that is a a fresh, poignant Americana rock collection that has hints of Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, but with his own flavor and colorations. It really works. Songs like Song For A Lucky Man are flawlessly executed and others like the title track, Act of Kindness are more raw with blemishes and warts but are forgivable because the energy and conviction of the music is very powerful. It is also important to note that Bruder is a killer songwriter and lyricist who deserves a lot of recognition in the industry.
So the web series is very funny in that Larry David "Curb Your Enthusiasm" kind of way but the music is deadly serious. It is a nice overall package that I highly recommend checking out.

Hey all, thanks for the opportunity to share my music with you. I'm a guitarist and drummer and have just released my debut album, it's electronic and experimental. I try to make music that anyone could find enjoyment in, no matter what their preferred genre is. So even if you're not into electronic music (typically, I'm usually not!) please check it out anyway because it's about the music, not what was used to make it. Hope you like it.
