With the death of Myspace, email lists have once again become one of the most important things in successfully building a following for a group. The problem we have seen with a great number or the tools that trade fans emails for tracks is they tend to involve too many steps or have a poor interface for the user. We set out to design a email widget that could deliver a track to the fans in as few steps as possible, ensure you get real email addresses, look great and make a .csv file of all the emails so that they can be imported into any email provider. We did it and have what you see above to show for it! Try it out and if you want one yourself, contact us and we will make one for you for a very reasonable price. If you aren't convinced here is some further reading on how helpful this widget is.

We treat your release like a campaign and are organizational freaks. We create a wiki where anyone involved in the project can easily find anything they would ever need to find about the project. It is yours to keep when the project is done to keep building off for years to come. Many of the pains of working on a project are one person having one item or a piece of information. Everyone involved should be connected (It's 2009 after all!) and we make sure you have an organized wiki that will keep everyone in the loop. Using emerging technologies like Social Text, Google Wave and the classic Google Docs we are able to keep everyone on the same page. If everyone is on the same page you can spend more time doing what matters and less time waiting for things to happen.
