Short Summary
After 2013's self-titled album, we are gearing up to come back with a vengeance with our newest release. This album will be heavier, catchier, and more powerful than anything you've heard from us before.
- Album tracking is almost finished. We are doing all the tracking in our home studio, not just to save money, but so we can have complete control and direction of the entire process. This lets us give you guys the best end result possible.
-
Mixing and mastering is next, and then pressing and distribution to get The Silver Lining in your hands!
- There is still a lot of work to be done, and lot of ends to make meet, but with your help we can not only make this album happen, but make it the best release of 2015!
If all of this sounds too good to be true, just hear what the critics are saying about our recently released single, "Fallen," off the upcoming album:
“...it’s
a catchy single all right, bouncing between the melodic and the heavy. We like
it! Fallen is the
perfect appetizer for the release of Roses
Unread’s new album in 2015.”
-Rock Hard Reviews
“Roses
Unread are seasoned, honed professionals unleashing a brand of Hard Rock/ Heavy
Metal that will burn everything that tries to stand in its way.”
-Whisper Behind the Light Music Reviews
“…addictive,
bouncy and an intense melodic rock track with a beautiful tone on the vocals.”
-Rock’n’Roll Circus Radio
“…vocals,
sweet and complex and stunningly smooth, with melodic metal’s heavy, driving,
machine gunner beat and guitar riffs delivered with tight precision and
intensity.”
-Maine Music News
What We Need & What You Get
A lot goes in to making an album, and its nearly impossible for an independent band to do it on their own, that's where you guys, the fans, come in.
- Funding from this campaign is going directly to production and distribution of the album. This includes mixing, mastering, CD replication and digital distribution, album artwork, t-shirt designs, and of course shipping all of these goodies to your door!
- The mixing is being done by our good friend and talented producer, Dave Cowell. The album will be mastered by Stonebridge Mastering in Memphis.
Of course, everyone wants to know, "What's in it for me?" We have multiple reward tiers that can fit any kind of budget. Some of the highlights are new t-shirts, album credits, personal/musical items used in the tracking of the album, and even a house show for you and your friends. Shipping for all perks is included within the continental US, International shipping will be billed at the end of campaign via PayPal. The most important part is: any donation over $10 includes a copy of The Silver Lining one week before anyone else can get it!
Why a Crowdfunding Campaign?
Music is the most important thing in our lives. We create music to make the world a better
place and to inspire you to be the absolute best you can possibly be. It shouldn't be a backdrop as the times pass
by; it should be the soundtrack to your life.
Growing up, a new CD meant that friends would get together
and enjoy the experience. Memories were
created that would last a lifetime and when we heard the songs from that CD
years later, it would take us back to that moment in time.
This is why we need your help. We have written some of the coolest and most
meaningful songs that the world needs to hear.
We are asking you to be a part of something that will last forever.
Risks & Challenges
For many reasons, we have elected to use Indiegogo's Flexible Funding option, but don't worry, even if we don't meet our goal we are still committed to fulfilling each and every one of our promises listed above. IF this turns out to be likely scenario, updates will be sent to all contributors discussing our plans to work with the money we have raised, and what steps we might have to take to assure you still get your rewards.
Other Ways You Can Help
Just because money is tight, doesn't mean you can't lend a hand!
- Share this campaign with all your friends. The more people that are aware, the more we can raise, and the better product we can release!
- Share our music with your friends! Pop in a Roses Unread CD when your riding with your friends or at your next get together. Let them know that new stuff is on the way and that they can contribute!
As always, you guys mean the world to us and we wouldn't be here without you. We cannot wait to get this album out of the studio and into your ears. We're very excited for this new journey and we hope that you are too!
