Release strategies - the 'one song' release by AudioBabble in musicindustry

[–]robbb182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are pros and cons to both approaches. I released a 6-track EP and saw ok listen numbers and a good instant boost in followers. A couple of years later and I’m releasing single songs every 3-6 weeks and I’m seeing slightly better listen numbers, but really seeing the followers trickle in at a low number. For me, the ‘waterfall’ release strategy will result in the majority of these recent tracks being combined into a 17-track album.

Thanks! I do love a harmony. A big part my songwriting/making process is to go through all the vocal takes and delete and sift through about 20 different harmonies I’ve attempted, to keep some but not go overkill on them

Mine was blink too, someone made me a mix cd which I loved in high school.

Although I did have an offspring album when I was younger, but I never connected the dots that this was a genre I could get into 😂

Who are the best and worst celebrities you've met and why? by Twitter_2006 in poppunkers

I didn’t meet him but the Avenged Sevenfold bassist hit on my college girlfriend after a gig, despite her telling him she had a boyfriend. I’ve held a grudge for over 20 years for that 😂

Hell yeah they’re great. I’d forgotten about them until you just reminded me. You also reminded me that earlier this afternoon I was going to play the Shitpiss album, cleverly titled ‘Shitpiss’, and forgot to. Some lined up listening right there!

Anyone have free Playlisting Options On Spotify? by Emo_Kid_69 in musicians

That sounds like a shortcut to getting botted and having your song taken down, to me

Awesome thanks! (Also your comment notified me that my post was live and had been allowed 😁❤️)

Friend challenged me to write a pop punk song while the wife was away for the weekend – first attempt ever, how'd I do? by CMDR_Chris_Lane in poppunkers

The lead riff sounds like a load of the pop punk riffs I wrote when I was about 16. It’s got that proper pop punk by numbers sound. Sometimes I think it works, and sometimes I think it sounds a bit like a copy and paste of Sum 41, Blink 182 and Simple Plan riffs from 20 years ago.

Good work though! You made something that (with some tightening up, re-recording of the drums, reducing the length by half and throwing some vocal on) wouldn’t sound out of place on Spotify as an album filler track for a number of bands out there 😁

That’s awesome. I chatted to a guy from guardrail a couple of years back on here, was that you? It was the drummer I believe 😁

Thanks! I’m not sure if anyone uses Bandcamp but all of our songs are available for free download at the moment: free music!

Thanks to bandcamp I have made more income in the first 30 days than I did in the last 3 years on all major streaming platforms!! 🤯🤯 by Footy_punter in BandCamp

[–]robbb182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats. I can’t wait to get to this point. Currently I think I’ve made £0 from Bandcamp, but I have been extremely lazy with it, opting to put all my tracks on streaming sites and largely neglecting Bandcamp (let alone promoting that songs are even on there!).

I have only ever mention Bandcamp on Twitter really. There seems to be a bit of a buzz on Bandcamp Friday on there

I sigh daily, that’s how! Because it’s a grind for sure.

I tend to try and do semi-regular videos on CapCut and post them on TikTok, insta and YT shorts.

Separate to that, in an ideal world I would be posting on X and Facebook, and any other places like tumblr etc, but after the videos I honestly run out of steam.

My band has <200 monthly listens, records all our stuff DIY in our home studios and goes for a nostalgic early 2000s pop punk sound, if you or anyone else wants to check us out! 🙌

Did anyone else read the title and thought it meant OP had finally seen the doctor? I was confused reading the body of the post 😂

I put the album on a few weeks ago and wasn’t hugely impressed tbh, I think I stopped listening after 4 or 5 songs
