These days, it is really hard for small bands and labels to get through to fans or get noticed by blogs, radios etc.. We’re living in a time where everything is changing in the music industry, all the time. A new map needs to be drawn for every release. All the promotion tools are there, more available than ever before, but the competition is hard, and the noise from all the other bands and labels, struggling to be seen and heard, is so difficult to shout through. It is so easy to get lost in all that noise, – in tweets, emails, Facebook posts, youtube videos, cool instagrams, you name it.

I don’t think I am very wrong if I say that all of us struggle with this.
We at EardrumsPop do not need (or want) much money to be able to pay our bills or release music, but there are so many other small labels and artists that do. Recently, a brilliant, creative project by a label we love was stopped because too few people supported it. The songs were great, the bands were amazing, but the fans did not support it for some reason. Things like that make me really sad, disillusioned and disappointed. Sadly, I see similar things happen more and more often, – not only the lack of economic support, but lack of support from fans in general.
. The feedback can be as simple as a like on Facebook, but it is even better with a comment, a share, a tweet, a blog-post or that you buy the music from the band, – something that shows that you actually care about what we do.

Maybe it is easier to share if we write more songs about cats? Photo by Martin Kenny.
Sometimes, we don’t know…
If you CARE about DIY pop and good music, and you want your favourite bands and labels to keep on making and releasing their music, please SHOW that you care! If you don’t, and if you take music for granted, I am afraid that small bands and small labels will burn out, – the engines will run out of fuel.
