NewsThe Crimea Breaks Mold With Download OfferingBritish alternative rock act the Crimea has taken a radical approach to building a following. The group -- currently out of contract after splitting last summer with Warner Music -- has made its new, self-financed album, "Secrets of the Witching Hour," available to download for free from its official Web site. From June 4, a CD version will be offered for sale on a mail-order basis, details of which are posted at the site. The band members hope the free offering will generate exposure and, in turn, boost revenue streams from live performances and merchandise sales. "It's a one-off for us," manager Stephen Taverner of Out There Management tells Billboard.com. "They knew they couldn't compete in the traditional way, so why not give it away, and try to gain more exposure that way? Its not a two-fingers up to the music industry at all -- far from it." By mid-afternoon, the album had been downloaded more than 5,000 times since going live late last night. Taverner adds, "We all recognize the fact that we needed a record company involved on a global level. If we can get the fanbase up significantly, maybe someone would be interested in doing a partnership with the band." Warner Bros. U.S. signed and released the Crimea's debut album "Tragedy Rocks" (2004), which has shifted about 35,000 copies worldwide, says Taverner. The band is preparing for a series of shows in China this month May, before returning to the U.K. for a four-week tour starting May 18. Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit release 'The Box' Johnny Flynn is a proper, feature-worthy curio, more so than a modern day indie star has any right to be. One minute he?s revealing that his old man was in 'The Avengers', the next that, as a youngster, he used to work on a fishing boat and then that last night he performed with his band at the Royal Albert Hall. A few moments in his company, then, is enough to know that Master Flynn, 24 years old, will be keeping our attention for quite some time. And that's before even hearing his music. After releasing two acclaimed 7"s on Young & Lost Club and wowing crowds from Buffalo Bar To Bestival, from the End Of The Road Festival to the Astoria this summer, Johnny Flynn is ready to step things up a gear with the release of 'The Box', his debut single for Vertigo. Evocative and accessible, touching the heart whilst insisting that you move your feet, 'The Box' is a clear signal that an important new artist has arrived. Live Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit are a sight to behold - think Nick Drake fronting The Pogues at the Underage Festival and you're nearly there. After a Summer of rapturously received festival performances, this Autumn will be spent touring with Jack Penate and Iron & Wine, before heading out to Seattle to record their debut album with Ryan Hadlock who has previously worked with The Gossip, The Strokes and Regina Spektor. |
