UPDATE: $50 PACKAGE IS SOLD OUT. THANK YOU GUYS.
Short Summary
What's up, everybody?! We're Cover The Coastline! We're an emo/punk band from all over northern Illinois. Last summer, we put out our first EP "Silver Lake". Since the very week it came out, we've been writing our 2nd record. After picking the best material of what we wrote, we began recording this last January. Now our recording process is coming towards the end of this new record we've named "Letters To Loved Ones", and this where YOU come in.
As anyone in a band can tell you, it's hard to make a band self-sufficient, especially when being in a band is expensive. We all care about Cover The Coastline as if it was our child, and we give it everything we can give it to succeed. Being in college with minimal sources of income, we've exhausted our income and cannot afford to pay for this record on our own. After paying an engineer, buying recording time, mixing and mastering, merch, and everything else that comes with making an album, we're about $800 sort of making "LTLO" happen. This record is, without a doubt, the best music we've ever written, and all we want is for people to hear it. Unfortunately, finances are standing in the way of that.
In exchange for your generosity (and/or commitment and stealth if you're stealing your parent' credit card), we're going to hook you up with some (if you ask us) pretty dope perks that you can check out.
EVERYONE WHO DOWNLOADS WILL BE MENTIONED IN THE ALBUM'S CREDITS.
We understand that one would be skeptical to donate or have concerns. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the band or any of its members personally, on social media, or at coverthecoastline@gmail.com.
What happens if you don't reach your goal? We will take the funds we've collected, pay for the portion of our fees that we can, push back the release date of the album til we can pay for it, and probably sell drugs or our bodies to pay for the rest, or force our parents to help us more than they already have.
This band means the world to us. Not everyone gets to do what we do, and we're all grateful for it. If you donate to our fundraiser, you're helping us out so many more ways than just financially. If you don't donate, we still want to thank you for your time, because we know there's a gazillion other things you can be looking at on the internet.
If you can't donate, all we ask is that you please share this page. It's the least, but also the most anyone can do for us. Thank you guys so, so much and we'll see you in April or May with a new record.
