Due to circumstances way outside of my control, I wont be able to go to college this year. I was due to start next week. For those who didnt know, my final project in college was the album Ive been writing for and teasing all summer.
My plan is to record the album, or an EP version of it on my PC through Pro Tools, and release roughly the same time I was planning through college. But now, Im just one guy. I can cover the guitar, possibly bass, the lyrics and the vocals, but I am looking for some help. I do have a drummer now.
If you have any prior music industry experience and think you could help, please add me and send me a message. I also need help with promotion and social media, this is my biggest hurdle. If you think you can help get this project off the ground, please add and message me.
If you wanna get involved in any way, please message me with whatever you think/want to do.
Many thanks,
~Matt

in terms of promotion, when ur a small music proj, networking is everything, even just saying to a band on the same bill as u that their stuff was good is v helpful and they might share ur stuff on their story!
idk what genre you play, but if youre vaguely affiliated with hardcore or punk in any way then going to them sort of shows and meeting people there (people dont mind u talking to them) is infinitely useful. a label might come along and release your stuff, or at least promote it. just be careful if you happen to be leeds based as theres a few dodgies down there
it wont happen instantly but its the most successful and easy way to do it and get respect cos ur hearts in the right place

Im a mix of punk and acoustic rock. I do need to get back out and start playing shows again, thats probably the best way to do it. Im just short on equipment right now to be able to put on a club show unless they already have stacks there. Im working on it.
I know I have to make social media accounts, and thats where Im stuck. Im terrible at self promotion, and this is the only social media I actively post on.

hey dude, I've been developing an independant music magazine recently to build a portfolio for music journalism/digital marketing jobs in the future. It's only local, and I'm not sure how successful it will be. But there are a lot of musicians in my area so, I'm hoping to have at least a decent following to do free promotion for small/local bands and artists.
If you're able to give me some time to get the social media account up and running and the website fully developed - I would be more than happy to promote your music for you. I can also review it for you so that it gets more traction. If you'd be interested, just lmk.
:)
That would be amazing, thank you. Im still in the working stages myself, trying to figure out logistics and whatnot. Ill probably be able to give you something by Christmas, or earlier. Right now is the demo stages so theres still time. The main official release will be summer next year, but as I said Ill be releasing singles and covers along the way
