PRODUCTION
Newfoundland has been in need of an underground comp for a
while. There have been many attempts at making one, but most
have never been finished. That's why I am proud to present to
you a CD Compilation of 8 of our best Punk/Metal bands playing
nearly 20 original songs all written, recorded, produced,
and played only in Newfoundland.
THE IDEA
The idea to release this comp came to me after Managing my own
band's record sales. I got to know a lot of people in the scene
through playing in FIREIGN, and got to know a lot of bands as well.
I decided that Newfoundland needed a compilation out there... because
our small Island is unknown to anybody in the world and the small scene
here is unknown to anyone on the Island. I decided to collect
unreleased and prereleased recordings from bands with the intention
of getting more people involved and interested in our underground stuff.
The majority of the population of our province has never heard of most of the
bands on the comp, or they have heard of them but have never been able to
hear their music. It's for this reason that I am organizing this CD...
so that more people will get to hear of these bands and so that the next time
they throw a show or release a record, they will bring in some more people and
sell some more records.
THE PROCESS
All the bands provided their own recording for this comp. Some
did new stuff, some provided unreleased stuff, some gave me a track or two
off one of their records. Either way, the songs on this comp are some of
the best songs each band has to offer. Some bands went to professional studios,
some borrowed a 4 track and did it in their basement. But either way, the overall
sound quality is great, the compositions are awesome, and I can
guarantee that any track on this CD is enough to bang your head, pump your fist,
and do whatever else you do when you hear some awesome tunes. Bands payed
about 1/16th
of the printing costs, and in return each member got free copies of the CD. I did
all the mastering, managing, distributing, and promotion for it. It's a totally independent
venture, there's no label, no big name distributor, anything like that. This is an
UNDERGROUND comp, not the latest edition of Dance Mix '93.
The price of the comp is only $8.00. For the product you're getting it's a great deal.
You're getting nearly an hour and a half of the best recordings our local scene has to offer.
It's a small price to pay for a must have item for everyone that likes fast, powerful, energetic music.
