Pledge Music Alpha Launch

Our new project Pledge Music went into Alpha just over a week ago and by all accounts its been a success.

“Pledge Music is a way for fans to help their favourite artists make records and raise money for charity. By combining new social networking technology, fan incentives and old school music biz know how, fans can visit the site to not only hear great new music, but also share the experience with friends and get actively involved in what they are listening to.”

We launched on two platforms Facebook and Pledge Music with our first project Another Last Goodbye by Marwood. The project aimed to raise $5000 in order record a CD with a percentage of the profits going to Amnesty International and met its target with 7 days of launch which we’re very pleased with.

Now we have a successful Alpha test, Marwood are entering the studio to record their album over the next few weeks and we look forward to hearing the album very soon.

Now the real work begins as we do a last push to move through Beta and into a full release over the next month with another 9 projects already in the pipeline. Go team.
