Neues Forum online!

Da das alte Forum auf einem fremden Server lag, der auch nicht wirklich gewartet war, kam es des Öfteren zu Fehlern und Ausfällen im Forum. Dies war der Grund zur Entscheidung auf ein "richtiges" Forum zu wechseln.

Durch die gute Zusammenarbeit vieler Mitglieder konnte dies sehr schnell umgesetzt werden. Unser Dank geht ganz speziell auch an unsere Freunde von revolvermann records, die uns webspace für die Verwirklichung angeboten haben und uns auch in Sachen Verwaltung mächtig unter die Arme greifen.

Das Archiv des alten Forums kann leider, wegen der schlechten Wartung, nicht ins Neue eingebunden werden und wird früher oder später wohl auch ganz von der Oberfläche verschwinden.

Das neue Forum konnte bis dato noch nicht visuell angepasst werden, wird aber demnächst geschehen. Auch ein Live-Chat wird noch eingebaut um die Kommunikation zwischen den Usern zu verbessern.

Der Grundstein für den Umzug ist also gelegt. Jetzt heißt es die Threads zu füllen, also meldet euch an und werdet Teil der "neuen" Gemeinde.

NEWS: Post Rock Community - The Compilation Vol. 2 (SUBMISSIONS WANTED!)

FINAL CALL TO PARTICIPATE!
Submission deadline: 31 December 2010.

It's been a year ago (LINK) since we started the idea creating a compilation with unsigned bands out of the community. It took some time to have it done and it really was a lot of work but i think the first compilation was very succesfull. We got so much requests and response from all over the world. More infos on Volume 1 & Free Download -> Volume 1


Today is the day where Volume 2 is born.


About the release of Volume 2:
We have in mind to make it a double-cd release this time. (depends on submissions)
It will also be for free download again.
The package will be similar to Volume 1 -> Have a look here.
Submission deadline will be 31 December 2010.
The song maximum-length is set to 8 minutes. Keep that in mind.
Your submission doesn't have to be pure Post Rock.
There will be physical releases of this compilation. (amount will be discussed soon)
The physical releases will be fragmented and sent to every single band.

When you will be confirmed to appear on the compilation your band have to pay for the physical releases. The estimated price for one copy will be 4€. Please let us know how much you'd be willing to pay & how many copies you want.

You can sell it wherever you want (live events, online, whatever...). The price for the selling itself depends on you.
This idea is a good promotion for you because every appearing band will sell it from different global places.

What do you have to do to appear on the compilation?
Send us an email with the subject "Volume 2 - your bandname" to "postrockcommunity[at]hotmail[dot]de"

Add infos to the email:
Bandname - Trackname
Add all links (myspace, etc...)
If the track is released already tell us the releasename and date of the release
If not just tell us that it's "not released yet"
Add a short bio
How much you'd be willing to pay for physical copies & desired amount
track limit is 8 minutes!
The track has to be in .wav! No transcodes! (We will verify that)

Downloadlink to a mastered version of the track
Downloadlink to a unmastered version of the track (If possible)

How do you have better chances for appearing on the sampler?
Not released tracks has a better chance.

Additionally to the email you can present your project in one of our our Forum to get better chances.
Go in this thread ("Laufende Projekte") if you speak german
Go in this thread ("Projects") if you speak english

Can you appear with a cover artwork?
Yes.
Just mail us your idea on a cover artwork at "postrockcommunity[at]hotmail[dot]de" with the subject "Volume 2 Artwork - your name"

Do you have more questions?
...if there are any questions about this project ask here (german - english)

Post Rock Community ENGLISH-Forum ONLINE!!!!!!!!

Hi buddies

The german forum (launched on 5th of august 2008) is really doing well and i decided to offer a forum for our english readers.

The german forum originated many friendships, people with same taste in music came together, recommended each other good bands, helped each other with musical projects, travelled through europe using the members to sleep on their couch and saving money, met in real-life and a lot more good things happened there...

See it as a chance for you to increase your musical knowledge and to get in contact with other musicians, illustrators or whatever. Having good contacts is a very important thing if you want heard with your tunes.

So, sign in and have fun.

We are on hiatus!!!

This Blog is on hiatus.
There is too less time for it at the moment.
Dig older posts in the meantime.

I hope we will be back soon but can't tell you when the time will be.
Yours, ChrisO

PS.: Subscribe us on FaceBook or Twitter to be reported when we are back!

IMPORTANT News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi mates!

We are sorry for being in absentia. We have so much to do right now that it is not possible to review and post your stuff. We have loads of requests in our mail and even can't answer those. Please forgive us! I guess we have over 400 requests not done at this moment and we really want to have all these requests done.

So, our offer is for all those bands and projects that hasn't been posted so far -> send us your stuff again with the subject "PLEASE POST IT" and with a little presstext (Who are you? What motivates you to make this tunes? A little bio, or whatever, just write what you want...) and we will post it with your textmessage as soon as we can!!! I don't know what you will think about this idea to get this problem solved but if you dig it rate this post with 5 stars.

Thanks for the audience,
ChrisO & Co

PS.: We really need a good package of your songs. That means the mp3s should be in high quality, (no transcodes) and right tagged. A front-cover at least with 500x500, myspace and lastfm link and the genre you are into should be included too. Zip or Rar it and only upload it to megaupload or rapidshare (really important)! Otherwise we will delete the package and ignore it!

PPS.: It would also be less work if you upload a previewsong of the release to divshare and send us the link or (if it's availaible for download on lastfm) the direct mp3-link. This should be a link like this "http://freedownloads.last.fm/download/313925622/Highway%2BLights.mp3"
