How To Get Tons Of Exposure In Just A few Minutes

Lior Shamir — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:48:03 +0000

Video is not an option these days, it’s a necessity. You need to be able to promote your music with video on your website, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and dozens of other social media sites.

Your success depends on it.

You’re probably nodding your head and thinking: “That’s great, but how am I going to make a video?” After all, videos traditionally cost thousands of dollars to make and you most likely don’t have the equipment or know-how to make one yourself.

I’ve found the solution to your problem!

Animoto is a cheap and easy way to make a one of a kind video. For just three dollars, ANYONE can make a high quality MTV caliber video… and it only takes minutes. So dead simple and intuitive ─ if you can use Facebook, Animoto will be a breeze.

Washington DC alt-rock act, Honor By August, were selected as the winners of Breaking the Band 7.

“Now widely considered one of the most promising new talents on the East Coast,” (Washington Post) Honor By August makes music characterized by “distinctive, inviting vocals and anthemic, reverb-drenched guitars” (MetroMusicScene.com) and built on “award-winning songwriting, strong vocals, catchy melodies, and dynamic live performance” (Jenni Chase, Washington’s Z104/OnTap Magazine).

From arena shows at the Verizon Center, McDonough Arena and Innsbrook Pavilion, to headlining multiple shows at the 9:30 Club (DC), Bowery Ballroom (NYC), Blender Theater (NYC), Knitting Factory main stage (NYC), Viper Room (LA), Ram’s Head Live (MD), Toad’s Place (VA), Middle East main stage (MA), Cain’s Ballroom (OK), House of Blues Cleveland (OH) and many others across the country, Honor By August are turning heads, cultivating a loyal following and producing the kind of buzz every independent artist aspires to seed.

We’re looking forward to working with them!
