WHO WE ARE: 

Hello there, thanks for stopping by! We're Asphalt Green, a independent rock band from New Jersey. We've been a band for just over 5 years, and have performed our original music throughout the New York City area for our audience of dedicated fans. Recently, we've been presented with an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by the folks at Standby Records, who've invited us to travel to their studios in Cleveland, Ohio to record our upcoming third album under their umbrella. Understandably, we in the band are very excited for this opportunity, but we need your help to get us there! It's every musician's dream to one day hit it big and have your music heard by people across the world, and we feel that this is our chance to do just that. With your donations, not only will you aid us in releasing our long-awaited third album, but help make our rock and roll fantasies a reality! 

WHAT WE NEED:

We need your help to get the band and our equipment from New Jersey to Cleveland, Ohio eight hundred miles round trip (including gas, food, hotels, etc), as well as to help fund the recording, engineering, and production of our third album once we get there. We anticipate the whole project will cost around $2000 to make happen, and we feel that is a reasonable goal to shoot for. Here is an estimated breakdown of our costs:
$1000 - Recording Costs
$500   - CD Printing / Digital Distribution                                                                                    
$500   - Travel expenses
We also are open to suggestions about our campaign, and other ways that you could help us achieve our goal. We encourage you to share this Indiegogo page with other friends, fans and family to help spread the word to as many people as possible.
As incentives to our donors, we'll be offering many fun and special perks for various levels of contributions including merchandise packages, special mention on the printed CDs, private music lessons or performances, and more. 

RISKS & CHALLENGES:

If we are unable to reach our goal of $2000, we still will endeavor to record and release the album to the best of our abilities, but might have to cut down the expectations of a more rapid release or, worst case, seek to record the album elsewhere over a longer period of time. That could of course, hamper our ability to work with Standby Records, but we're committed to our music in any shape or form. Regardless, any amount you can contribute helps immeasurably no matter what!
We're well-prepared to deal with adversity in the making of this album, as we have previously released two other albums by ourselves in the past with great success. The band is well acquainted with challenges such as budgetary limitations, equipment problems, and the need to reassess the goals if need be, in order to get our music out to the public, and we won't let anything stand in our way!
