I just updated the Artist Pages on our website. Check them out, there's a new page for each artist on our roster. It's just a start for what will eventually include tour dates, photos, videos, and more little tidbits from each artist..
Us Thorny Bleeder's are getting super excited for the two albums we're about to release worldwide on September 1st; TV Heart Attack "Lost In The Sway EP" and Burning Borders "Yesterday's Gone". We can't wait to share this incredible new music with everyone!
If you want to help us and the bands out, call your local radio station and request their current singles (TV Heart Attack "AO" and Burning Borders "Leading")...every phone call makes a difference, you wouldn't believe how tough it is to get on the radio these days when you're an independent.
More website changes are coming down the pipe within the next month or two as well, including a brand new Thorny Bleeder Store. Yeehaw!
What else is happening? Well, Art Of Dying is getting ready to...

Metadata And The Name Of Your Band
Aug0504:46 PM
Filed in: Indie Advice
There's a new, major label Canadian band that just popped up recently, a product of Universal Music Canada and Much Music's "reality show" disBAND, and they're called Stereos. Their name actually sounds kinda cool. It's almost daring, to boldly name yourself after such an archetypical item of pop culture is risky.
Personally, I can't stand the band. Their music makes me angry. They're a young, hipster, tattooed band in skinny jeans and dayglo t-shirts that tries to look rock, yet they sing with a digital vocoder/auto-tuner thing, not unlike all of the poppy hip-hoppers. You know, that damn voice modulation thing, that dreadful device originally brought upon us by Cher (you know the song I'm talking about).
But the point of this post isn't to bash their music or their style (I'll save that for another post). The point I want to bring up and discuss is their name, Stereos, and whether it's a wise choice considering the time we're in, the age of Web 3.0?
