    Hey Everyone,

    I'm in a band called Chucky's River and we're about to record our debut album next month. But we're trying to come up with new creative ways to describe us and our music...I've found so much generic crap on band websites and we really want to come up with something fresh and clever as a description.

    Would anyone be interested in helping us out?

    I can give you some sample tracks off the new album as the stuff that's up online is out of date and not really what we're about anymore...

    Sure let me know!!

    Thanks
    Fusion

    I find the descriptions of music on band websites, and for that matter in many reviews, hysterical. They usually consist of a bunch of meaningless phrases that have somehow accrued currency strewn together. If I had more time on my hands, I'd set up a blog reviewing fake albums, all recieiving glowing write-ups, filled with guff about "throbbing bass" and "propulsive rhythms."

    Having worked in the Music industry for about 9 years all I can say is, keep it simple. Don't waft on like you are going to be bigger than Jesus. Make sure it's not more than 1 page, photo included. Include why you chose the name of the band and the album title and any particulars about your best songs.

    Social Media links, manager and publicists email address and/or phone numbers. But yeah, keep it simple. The people who you send it to don't want your life story.

    These are useless, if y ou have rebranded then don't push stuff you don't play any more. Such an amateur mistake. Take that ish down.
