* Homepage Top Ad Exposure on undergroundrecords.org, rockfest.org and rockfest.net FRONTPAGE EXPOSURE: UNDERGROUNDRECORDS.ORG: Artist's or label's graphics, logos, etc may also be in the Top Ad rotation (468x60 pixel banner rotation) in addition to the homepage spotlight. Client must provide 468x60 pixel banner for this part of the program. Throughout undergroundrecords.org, rockfest.net and archives pages (toddwest.8m.com) the homepage Top Ad rotation appears on hundreds of different webpages, including added webzine exposure. ROCKFEST.ORG (beginning 2007): TOP AD BANNER ROTATIONS: Typically, Top Ad spots will either be linked to sound files, the Artist or Label's homepage, or ads in an Underground Publication. Top Ad rotations are in addition to other graphical ads included in the A&R Program. Client will also receive a minimum of 2 (two) audio cuts on the Tip 248 (http://undergroundrecords.org/trip248.html) rock n roll show. The client's music will be placed on an edition of the show that includes the client's genre of music. The audio cuts will be placed on at least one show, and possibly more than one, within one year of client's participation in program. ** Please note, Trip 248 part of program is not available if client or copyright holder of client materials requires royalty payments for inclusion on Trip 248 show! ** Should client desire a copy of the initial Trip 248 show which client's audio is showcased, they must provide at least 1 (one) blank CD-R or 90 minute high-bias cassette, with their A&R package to Underground. 6422 Hwy 140 NW Adairsville, GA 30103 PLEASE MAKE ALL CHECKS OUT TO TODD WEST Please note; it is necessary to have all clients sign a release form so everyone knows I can use yourmusic and materials to market and promote your talent in the A&R Program. Some people don't send in the form, and in such instances, if the artist has signed up for the program, it is then understood artist's copyrighted materials may be used as here described. After you've signed up I will forward a tentative schedule for your program. Since some things may have to be comprehensive it is an outline of what our goals and time line for your program will be. A&R REPORT TO LABELS: I personally choose the best of the bands (per response and per my opinion) participating in the A&R Report and every so often forward materials to larger labels who have signed up to receive the A&R Report. This isn't included in your fee, nor do I take money to do it. If I like your stuff enough I will send some of it on. Generally, this applies to completely unsigned artists or one artist in-house labels; for budgeted labels wanting larger labels to sponsor them, get in touch with me directly. The Underground A&R Report participating clients are eligible for the annual RockFest series of concerts and showcases. All A&R Report clients can perform at RockFest, transportation and lodging to the event(s) is the responsibility of the client. Being on the A&R Report is the only way independent Artists qualify automatically for inclusion in the RockFest concerts. There are more than a few industry people who use our online offerings, from reading our mediato mining for new talent. The Underground A&R Report is meant to act as a market development tool that gives Artists seeking label contacts a means of exposure while providing an excellent cost value for media support services.
