Thorny Bleeder Expands to TV and Film Music Licensing
Mar2707:51 AM
Filed in: Music News
We're pleased to announce the licensing arm at Thorny Bleeder Records has been officially launched! TBR will be working to place quality music in TV series, films and advertising campaigns through our trusted industry contacts.
Licensing is such a great way for bands and artists to get worldwide exposure and see real income from their recorded material, but it's hard to get your music into the hands of the people that can make this happen. Music supervisors and publishers are constantly sifting through new music and have learned to lean on dependent filters of great music. And that's where TBR Music Licensing comes in.
This service is available to artists everywhere. Send us your recorded material, and we'll do our best to get it placed if we feel it fits what we're looking for. Quality, vibe and subject matter are key elements that will help you stand out.
Contact us for more information and we can help get the ball rolling, or upload a high quality MP3 to us right now using this Soundcloud Dropbox.

It’s The Bleeder Blog’s One Year Anniversary!
Yup, this blog and website has been up and running for a full year now, so it’s time to celebrate with some free new music, woohoo!
When we launched The Bleeder Blog in December 2008, we did it alongside a free album download, titled Get Thorny. It featured sixteen tracks by sixteen up and coming independent artists, and the response was overwhelming. In the past year we’ve had thousands and thousands of music fans from all over the world download the compilation and fall in love with some new artists which they probably would never of had the chance of hearing before.
So now we’re doing it again with Get Thorny 2. Seventeen tracks from seventeen amazing independent artists in glorious 320 kbps MP3 high fidelity. Each track has been carefully filtered through our Thorny Bleeder ears to ensure that we pass along nothing but the finest to our listeners...Click To Read More...
Thorny Bleeder Records Releases The Rebellion
Dec2801:39 PM
Filed in: Music News
MP3: The Rebellion - Dr. Don't
On Tuesday, December 29, Thorny Bleeder Records releases Time, the remixed and remastered debut album from The Rebellion. The album features the first single Dr. Don’t.
To some, Josh Palmer may look familiar to you. Palmer is a former Canadian Idol contestant from 2005. In just over a decade, Palmer has gone from child prodigy to Canadian celebrity. He toured across the nation from coast to coast by the time he was 17, released independent solo albums, and was watched by 3.5 million people each week on Canadian Idol. But after leaving the Canadian Idol stage, Palmer was frustrated with not being able to showcase himself as a real artist.
Rather than continue on the course of doing another solo album, Palmer decided it was time to start a new band. He recruited Romanian multi-instrumentalist Silviu Moldovan on guitar, Congolese percussionist Christian Kongawi on drums, and Ryan Schultz on bass.
