News: Tristin Roberts Band

alright everybody, i found out where you'll be able to purchase the Tristin Roberts Band EP. shoot an email to tristinrobertsb@yahoo.com letting them know you're interested and they'll hook you up as soon as it comes out in June.

the EP will have 7 songs by the band, and for sure they'll be songs you won't want to miss!

Independentbands.com

you may have noticed by now that quite a few of the artists featured have CDs available through www.independentbands.com. i felt independentbands.com was worth of a blog posting.

the site has tons of indie CDs available through their "indie catalog", a lot of rare CDs and lesser known releases. they also carry signed artists as well (they call the indies "independents" and the signed artists "dependents").

independentbands.com has a really good selection of music, but their service is what keeps me coming back. i've never had problems when i buy from them, and i receive the CDs i order in just a matter of days. in fact, when i have pre-ordered CDs through them before, and i received the CD ON THE DAY it was released! that impressed me so much.

once again, check out www.independentbands.com for great deals, great selection, and great service!
