Short Summary
In the past 3 years, we have traveled over 100,000 miles and played 300+ shows as Edison. To follow that passion, we gave up our jobs and apartments, bought a van and hit the road, all to share the music we love and connect with people across the country.
A year after forming, Edison signed a multi-record deal with an indie label and we released our first full length album, Familiar Spirit , in 2016. A new album was ready to record the following Spring, but our label turned silent. That silence was broken in October of 2017, when we were dropped from their roster.
The inability to release our music this last year has been frustrating and we came to a decision to end our time in Edison. We don't want to move on without releasing our new music to the world. We are finally free to put this music out on our own. That freedom comes at a cost though, as releasing an album is an expensive process. We've poured our hearts into this band, but to be frank with you, our wallets are empty. We are closing the chapter on Edison touring like crazy, but we do want to pitch this music to our sync licensing contacts (Tv/Film/Commercial placement) and get it out to the radio stations that have supported us. We want this music to live on past our final curtain call.
Lion's Heart EP, is a selection of our favorite unreleased material, that portrays the growth we have experienced as a band and as individuals. We would love your support to make this album great and we can't wait to share it with you!
Budget
For this 4 song EP, our goal is $5000. Here is the breakdown:
