Hey everyone!

We’re No Island, a five-piece indie rock band from Vancouver. We play what you might call Modern Vintage Rock music — original songs that embrace the past while keeping an eye on the future. We’d really love for you to hear exactly what that sounds like, but we have one small problem:

Our previous releases don’t sound like us anymore. In fact, they don’t even have all of us on them. 

We’re currently in the process of recording a full-length CD of all new material, but we’ve hit a financial roadblock. In order to get this music to your ears in the near future, we’re asking you to consider pre-ordering your copy today. And if you’re feeling extra generous, we’ve set up some great perks and rewards for contributions that go above and beyond the cost of the CD itself. It’s that kind of support that will ultimately take these songs from a recording studio in Langley, BC to a finished CD you can enjoy later this year (estimated release date: Fall 2014).

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP

This is a very expensive process that is already well underway, and we’re determined to do it right. The amount we’re looking to raise will cover a variety of things — first and foremost all of our remaining studio and production costs. Additional funds will be allocated for the equally important elements of artwork, printing, packaging, and promotion. And if we exceed our $8000 goal, we’ll even be able to consider additional projects such as music videos, extended touring, and producing additional album merchandise such as vinyl printings and t-shirts!

WHAT YOU GET

To show our gratitude for your support, we want to give back to you in all the best ways we know how. This is a pre-order campaign after all, so every contribution of $10 or higher will get you a copy of our new album on CD and digital download. For those who contribute more, we’re throwing open the doors and inviting you in to experience every aspect of life as a No Islander. Perks include getting the album ahead of its official release date, exclusive bonus tracks and unseen content, and even hanging out with us for a van ride, dinner, or a private concert. Check out the many rewards listed on the right side of this page — we’re confident you’ll find something you like! *See "Perks Details and Disclaimers" below.*

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP

If money is tight for you (it is for us, after all), the best way you can help us is by spreading the word. The bigger the crowd, the better we can crowdfund. Share this page with your friends, have them check out our music, and make sure they don't miss out on this chance to help make some incredible Canadian music happen.

LET'S DO THIS

Over the past 14 months we’ve done lots of things — we’ve solidified the perfect lineup of musicians for this band, we’ve toured Canada successfully in our van, and we’ve written many great new songs. The logical next step is to record this music and share it with you. Ever since we played our first notes as No Island back in 2009, we’ve always been a do-it-yourself kind of band. Asking for help isn’t easy, but this project has become bigger than five young men and their savings accounts. We need your involvement to make it happen. Please pre-order, contribute, and help spread the word by sharing this link with your fellow music lovers. It would mean the world to us!

Love,

No Island

*DETAILS AND DISCLAIMERS*

Option: Digital Album Only

If you're not a fan of CDs and only want a digital copy of the album, simply write "NO CD PLEASE" in the address field of the shipping information. This will save us time and money on unnecessary shipping. If you still want to receive any of the other physical perks you've earned, contact us and we can make arrangements.

Shipping Fees

If you reside outside of Canada, please be sure to add the additional international shipping fee mentioned in the perk description. Without this additional fee, we will not be able to deliver your CD or any other physical perks. If you elect not to add the shipping fee, your non-physical perks (including the digital album) will still be delivered.

"The CD Release Show" Perk Substitution

We recognize that opting for The CD Release Show perk is a bit of gamble for you because the show’s date has not yet been confirmed, so we’ll make you this deal: if you get this perk but are unable to attend the show once the date is announced, let us know and we’ll let you choose one of the $40 perks as a replacement.

Scheduled Perks

For any perk that involves meeting up with the band members, we will contact you by email to arrange a date. We will bend over backwards to make our schedules work with yours as best we can. However, in some cases we may not be able to oblige your first choice of date. Don't worry though, we'll work with you to pick another time that makes you happy. Also see "Limitations on Duration" below.

Limitations on Duration

No Island reserves the right to annul our obligation to any Scheduled Perk not fulfilled within 24 months of the conclusion of this Indiegogo campaign. We will make a good-faith effort to satisfy all perks as soon as reasonably possible, and two years should be more than enough time for that. Really all we're saying is that if we don't hear back from you about the details, don't come calling 20 years later saying we still owe you a ride in the van.
