There has been quite a few people here who have liked my previous musical adventures. I'm pretty timid at self promotion but I really enjoy when others can connect with what I do, so sharing can be fun.
I will try and keep this thread updated as I go for those of you who enjoy.
Thank you to anyone who spends their time listening.

How much interest are you guys drawing from indie labels at this point? Seems to me that there is a LOT of money to be made on this bands sound
In the meantime you guys could be PACKING bars across America, building up a following that labels have to pay attention to
I'm removed from any business decisions this project ensues. I was simply a guest vocalist on 2 tracks on their new album. The album is a mixture of different vocalists/styles/languages as well as some instrumental pieces.
Honestly I think the album varies too much for any labels to do anything with it. There is a major lack of consistency which would be a hard sell. In my TOTALLY BIASED OPINION (lol), I would have asked me to provide vocals for the entire thing considering I wrote some vocals demos for some of the tracks that would have been amazing once finally finished.

One good TV sync could earn as much as six figures plus drive traffic to iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc.
Syncs are the biggest generator for indie and unsigned bands and in many cases, signed bands as well.

I will gladly take you guys word for it, guess maybe I'm a little out of touch with the music biz these days
At any rate, I wish you all the success in the world, Molitoth [Reply]

In my opinion, your vocals nail what so many bands/singers try for and utterly fail at. Not sure how to describe it, and that's probably exactly why it's so fuggin good. [Reply]

:-) very cool, dude... my favorites would have to be Shells and Surrounded by Astronauts
You're still able to hit those high notes, but I can tell that your voice has deepened with age... it really helps give you a more powerful presence, and is particularly noticeable on Shells [Reply]

But friend, you are talented. I absolutely enjoyed this.
Thanks for your time, ears, and kind words!!! =) [Reply]
We will be Headlining the Kansas City RecordBar on Sat Feb 17th.
Anyone that digs the A Light Within stuff should come out and see it live.
We've already sound-checked the show and ran through the set a couple of times @ RecordBar, it's going to look and sound HUGE (for a small local band). :-)
