While many in the music industry may call us crazy, we like to think of ourselves as forward thinkers embracing a new reality. Our goal, our responsibility...is to have our music heard by the world.
Let's face it, there's no shortage of music to listen to these days. In fact, it can be quite overwhelming. But what good does music do any of us if it's locked in an online vault where you have no chance of discovering it?

Buzz Band Columbia Release Album via The Pirate Party

Filed in: Music News
It's a wet and depressing West Coast kind of day over here in Vancouver, pretty typical for November. So I'm sitting here sipping away on my third mug of coffee and thinking to myself, "What could we do at Thorny Bleeder Records to help brighten up everyone's day a little and spread some love on this dark and dreary day?"
And then it hit me...Free Music!
So I quickly got in touch with Kevin Schallie, singer for buzz band Columbia, who just happen to be one of the bands I'm managing. "Dude. Free music. Let's put your album out there for the whole world to listen to man...are you in?"
"Dude! Thumbs up man! Free the music and the fans will follow!"
