Not you,you always do a decent job of letting people know you've released something. And I buy the ones that interest me.
The reason I started the thread is that there seems to have been over the last few years a steady flow of bands who get at least a demo recorded. But,it would seem that unless you use myspace or are a 'real' friend of many bands,it seems to be unheard of to be able to buy copies. Very,very few bands seem to give them much of a mention. and most times the recording is forgotten about in no time. What's wrong with after recording something,letting people know. Start a thread and bump it a few times until,if there's no interest,let it go if people are interested run off a few more.
I'm mostly talking about demos by the way.

I've found though, that even if you do, people won't buy them. Which may explain why people aren't arsed any more.

Maybe so,but then bands can't really complain if no one can be arsed coming out to see them etc.
Maybe I'm just living in the past or something.

people are coming to see bands, but just not buying records/demos was what i meant.

A band I used to play in when I was a younger fella just used to blatantly push and guilt people into buying our demos at gigs and on the street. Was great. At one gig I managed to sell a demo to a bohs punk and then a minute later sell the same one to his partner. Fun Times.

Similar to the Eirecore upload blog might it be an idea to have a blog for Irish band demos that are out of print , sold out, the band dont mind having online etc so that people that didnt have a chance to get them when band were on tour etc could get a copy of the recordings? Or have I spent too long on the internet today and am getting online related ideas to solve all my problems

i think thats a great idea.

doesnt someone host some irish demos already? either put a link to that as a sticky...or re up them in the new thread.

As for letting people know stuff is out there and making people aware, i do a zine and welcome ads from bands, no charge. Even if it's a line just to say you have something out. It's got a print run of around 100 (so far) and it does get around...

ya there use to be the website paddypunk that used to work on the basis of downloading through bit-torrents. I found that really good for stuff from a couple of years ago and stuff I had no way of getting. havent been on in ages not sure if still there

I think a blog would be better than the torrents.

As requested by Anarcho Munk:
El Bastardo - 'I'll never get laid again' demo

.

Oh...i think we gotta re-think this.Crucial Blast just asked me if there was any sign of the El Bastardo release - maybe holding back your releases is a good thing?..i dunno...

How about a 12 disc boxset of all the irish punk releases of the last 10 years, all packaged in a nifty minature wheelabin?
