Hi, my name is Garth Allen and I am the grateful leader and founder of Vancouver Rock band THE THICK OF IT!

Music has been through all stages of my life, single guy, party guy, living high on a major record deal guy, sad guy, depressed guy, family guy, working guy, screw the world guy and peaceful guy. I have written, performed and recorded music since the age of 14 only to get what was in my soul onto tape or on the stage. Along the way I have always found the means to pay for recording, pull-in favors or whatever. This time around I want to record what I believe is the most profound music I have ever written with my brothers in THE THICK OF IT. Although we have managed to get some loot together we do not want to "skimp" on quality. We need  help to get to the finish line hopefully through this campaign and crowd funding to record the songs that will get us to another level.

Why we need to do this 

The money we are trying to raise is specifically for recording a 4 song E.P, although there are many different ways to save money, recording at home, etc., the reality is  recording at a proper studio with a high level engineer/producer gets the golden results.
In addition to the money we already have in the "pot"  we need $6000 to complete the  recording and also to pay for press-packs and on-line " push" to get as many people as possible to hear us.

 I personally have been signed to a major record deal with the band "Flybanger"  AKA "JAR." on Columbia/Sony records back in the early 2000's and have learned so much about what needs to happen to MAKE IT HAPPEN . No matter how much our world is changing the basics still hold true, FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE EVERYTHING and the first time someone hears new music it needs to first of all BE a great song but it also NEEDS to sound amazing!

Even if we do not reach the $6000 goal in our campaign not all is lost..we will prevail and start the recording to finish at least one or two songs which will still help us get the attention we need from influential agents and managers.
