Got another press release for ya kids, this time from our friends over at Tunecore. This is a BIG DEAL, so pay attention:

I gotta say, Reverbnation continues to impress me with the promotional tools they offer to artists - here’s the official press release for the new “Gig Finder” touring service.

That’s right folks; if you are a graphic designer, artist, photographer, etc., then I need your help. I am currently working with a number of exciting musical acts from all over the country and am at a stage where I need some artwork for various projects. We’re talking all aspects of building the branding of many acts - album covers, merchandising, and digital artwork (websites, wallpapers, myspace layouts, etc.).

This week the web’s best creative stock photography site Crestock has teamed up with gangsta/rapper/father/legend Snoop Dogg to bring you one of the coolest contests I’ve seen lately.

Many are always bitching that Pearl Jam doesn’t “sound” like the band they were earlier in their career. I call these people stupid.

I am often asked about how musicians can make money off of their talents in a world where I encourage acts to give away their music for free. Many think the concept of giving away the music that they’ve spent so much time working on is crazy talk.

Al did a great post last year about Pearl Jam’s Late Show With David Letterman appearances, so I thought I’d rip the idea from him and entertain you with the band’s Saturday Night Live appearances.

In 2002 Pearl Jam released the album Binaural. The title of the album refers to the recording style they used to produce a unique sound, replicating the way a human takes in sound through our two ears.

One of the things often mentioned about Pearl Jam is the time the band has spent de-constructing their own success. By the mid-90’s, Pearl Jam was pretty much the biggest rock band around, and from what I’ve heard, they were not too happy with it.

Pre-Release from New Album Streamed Every Two Seconds on First Day

Judas Priest, on the verge of releasing their first new album in 3 years, pre-released the title track to “Nostradamus” via the ReverbNation TuneWidget on April 21st to a throng of hungry fans. The TuneWidget was initially placed on only four websites but allowed fans to grab it and embed it on their MySpace pages and blogs, leading to over 200,000 impressions on launch day alone.
