Fans Can Make 100% Profit on Band's New CD
Winston-Salem, NC (PRWEB) October 30, 2007 -- *** This is a pre-event release. The information is effective November 1st, 2007 ***
What's a band to do? They've paid their dues over the last 13 years. Previous record deals only brought in enough money to keep just one band member uncomfortably malnourished. With five we're talking starvation. Payola is obviously out of the question. So how does a band reach the marketplace without giving away all the profits to the record labels? Simple, they give it away to their fans instead.
In a move designed to shake up the music industry, TELESCREEN (http://www.telescreenmusic.com/) has released its debut EP "The Solar Sea" with a revolutionary twist. Fans of the band can get a personalized Paypal link that allows them to make money by offering the EP (7 songs) to their friends. When one of their friends uses that link to buy the TELESCREEN EP, that fan makes 100% of the profits from the sale. The EP is a DRM free (no copy protection) digital download and goes for just $5.99. After Paypal takes its cut of 47 cents, the remaining $5.52 goes directly into the fan's Paypal account. The band never sees or touches the money.
"We could have found a traditional outlet to release this project, but we're just totally disgusted with the music industry right now. You know, they rake in millions and then turn around and file charges against the very fans we depend on. Those fans are just trying to get more people to listen to our music," explains the band's Jon Tuttle. "It's not just about money. We got into this because we love music. And we think letting our fans promote our new EP is a unique way to help each other out."
Unique is a good word for this band. They perform on stage behind a translucent screen, 30 ft wide and 15 ft tall. The audience, in a dark room, is treated to a dizzying visual display of images projected on the screen while the bands rich, melodic tones mesmerize and transport the crowd to a different world. Sometimes the band is seen colorfully silhouetted on the screen, at others it's invisible. The effect creates a theatrical arena experience in an intimate club setting.
The band's core began in high school with 3 brothers--James Tuttle, Jon Tuttle, and Matt Tuttle (who was actually in middle school)-- and their school friend, Eric Weyer. They formed the band Codeseven (http://www.myspace.com/codeseven). Now with the addition of new front man Jared Draughon, formerly of Classic Case (http://www.myspace.com/classiccase), the TELESCREEN (http://www.myspace.com/telescreenmusic) experience is born.
TELESCREEN is currently on an East coast tour. Check their web sites for tour dates.

TELESCREEN is encouraging everyone who promotes this project to contribute a part of the money they make to the Jammie Thomas legal defense fund and help her fight the R.I.A.A.'s charges over file sharing. To that end TELESCREEN will contribute a percentage of t-shirt sales made from its websites.

Discover the Best CD Rates Using CD Ladders
Certificates of Deposit, also referred to as CDs, are thought by many people to be a highly stable way to invest your money. Many certificates of deposit are offered by reputable banks, and in the United States most CDs are insured in accordance with the requirements of the FDIC. Sounds good so far, but one of the least appealing qualities of CDs is that your funds are untouchable in the bank for a certain length of time, known as the "term". If a depositor attempts to withdraw their funds before the term is concluded, then they can be required to pay large penalties for the early withdrawal. While a person might be inclined to select shorter term CDs, often you will see 4 year or 5 year CDs (and sometimes longer) with the highest CD rates....
