Featured Label: Slumberland Records

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

featured label slumberland Featured Label: Slumberland RecordsFresh off a strong presence at SXSW, the Slumberland Records lineup is definitely stronger than ever. Slumberland began operations in 1989 as a collective effort consisting of members of DC area bands that grew into a reputable source for post-punk independent music. The explosion of punk had left behind a thriving network of ‘zines, labels and distributors and they felt that there was room for their noise-loving, pop-obsessed aesthetic. The label expanded its roster and horizons, always with the goal to bring you great songs and interesting sounds from a range of styles. And so it continues almost twenty years later and 80 releases later.

Get free tracks from 5 bands on their roster after the jump, including: Crystal Stilts, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Cause Co-Motion, The Aislers Set and The Lodger:

4 IODA Artists get NPR Songs of the Day in the last Week

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

priority update big 4 IODA Artists get NPR Songs of the Day in the last Week

Today Melinda Doolittle‘s cover of  “Dust My Broom” is NPR’s Song of the Day:

” Think of it as the revenge of Melinda Doolittle. The self-effacing former backup singer came in third on America Idol in 2007, behind Blake Lewis and winner Jordin Sparks, before disappearing from public view. Now, she returns to the limelight with her first album, Coming Back to You, in which the young soul singer proves that she belongs front and center, belting out songs old and new.” -NPR

As we perused the main page we noticed that Crystal Stilts, Graveyard and Alice Russell were all featured over the past week! NPR has become a great launching pad for artists to get an instant audience and earn a fan or 20.
