Playing in front of 15k people from your home

For me releasing an album was always a full service story: record demo, get the contract with a company, record album, distribute it using “regular channels”, pretty complicated, I might say, reasons for which not many do it. Including us, me and my band, that is. We recorded like 7-8 songs, never released them, even if we discussed about it a lot of times.

But the fact is that in today’s world, things can work using other ways of promoting yourself, the internet is such a huge channel for communicating your music, so many bands get out there using the internet that “the regular” way of doing things may die soon…Or already did?

This post came to me after listening this song on YouTube, I didn’t know the band, Company Of Thieves, the song is Even In The Dark. I liked it, but most of all I was intrigued by the way they did this, the recorded it on a mountain, not even in a room.

What can I say? I like it, and it didn’t work so bad, they have like 15k views, for one single song recorded on a mountain, it’s equivalent to a good show in front of 15k people. How many of us can say they can skip the occasion of playing in front of 15k people?

Well? What do you say about it?
