About this project
Hello,
My name is Ryan Cano and I own the management and PR company The Loyalty Firm. I have two amazing artists on my management roster, The Boxing Lesson & My Education (respectively).
I am interested in releasing a 7" single with one song from each artist.
The 7" single would be a testing ground to starting a record label called The Loyalty Firm Recordings that would release singles on vinyl only in physical (and have digital sales available).
This project will be of the highest quality colored vinyl and hand numbered in a limited edition, one-time run. Once this run sells out, its gone so you will have the comfort of knowing you have a real piece of music that the masses won't have. A collector's item if you will.
We will use every penny on pressing the album. This includes all costs associated with pressing the vinyl, hand numbering, postage services and re-mastering the tracks for vinyl and it will also start both the bands off in a position of "non-recouping". From their we envision the label connection up-and-coming Austin artist with other up-and-comer's from all around the world but with a focus on the Texas music scene (we are based here afterall!)
The Boxing Lesson will be including their song 'Muerta' which will see a new music video directed by Jonathan London. The band is currently finished recording their new album Possibilities which will come out early next year.
My Education will include a track or remixed track as of now from their new album Sunrise, which was released on 4/27/10 by Strange Attractors Audio House. Or maybe something totally new.
If we reach our goal by twice more than we expect ($4500): We will release a full 7" from The Boxing Lesson and a full 7" from My Education. That means each reward will feature each 7". Thats DOUBLE the vinyl goodness.
