MP3Musicgrams.com – Rock Band Sings “I need, need water to drink”

"And Air" by Van Paul and the Forever Red Tells Futuristic Haunting Story as Global Environmental Concerns Increase
For Immediate Release:

www.MP3Musicgrams.com, a free music MP3 site featuring music uploads, graphics and Musicgrams, presents "And Air" by Van Paul and the Forever Red. The haunting lyrics, prophetically written , remind us of the basic needs of humanity as pollution and growing water shortages increase globally.

The powerful yet simple words, "I need, need water to drink / And air, and air, and air" are sung passionately by songwriter Taylor Van Zant . Taylor has written lyrics and melody to acoustic ballads and rock for his band, his solo performances and other artists.

Van Paul and the Forever Red alternative rock band members have now gone separate paths as they go to University and pursue their dreams but the song lives on. Band members include Taylor Van Zant (singer, guitarist and bass player), Patrick Snape (guitarist, bass player and back up vocals) and Brothers Max (lead guitarist) and Nate Konyi (drummer).

To hear, play and send the MP3 – select: Song Title “And Air” or by artist: Van Paul and the Forever Reds.

Excerpt from "And Air"

"One day when the world shuts down,
I will need a light to see.
When the world gets dark and lonesome,
I will need someone with me.

I need, need, need it all,
To happen the way I want it to.
I need, need water to drink,
And air, and air, and air."

Hip Hop and Rock Merge - but it works-

A lot of rock fans don't like hip - and vice versa- each genre has its own following . For those music fans that like both- check out rock band "Full Service" on MP3Musicgrams.com and their song "Black is Back " . It starts out hip hop and then transforms into great rock.

Search for artist or song on the site and send out one of their songs in a musicgram.

Their second upload "Alpine" has a blend of Reggae Music- so this band mixes it up and shows versatility

Pair of B.C. indie music companies offer free downloadsRock Royalty Records and Munch Music run against the wind Article Tools

Marke Andrews, Vancouver SunPublished: Tuesday, February 20, 2007

While the big record companies fight a losing battle with consumers who download their artists' tracks, startup music companies welcome the trend, some making everything in their limited catalogue free for the taking.
Many labels will offer free samples from their CDs, letting you download a few tracks. But two B.C. businesses, run by young musician-entrepreneurs, want everything to be available.
Victoria-based Rock Royalty Records, run by two 24-year-old musicians, is making the catalogues of all four of its artists free for downloads. This includes only one complete CD, but co-owners Danton Jay and Nic Whitehouse plan to have more as the business grows.
Munch Music, located in Delta, has the same policy. Company general manager Taylor Van Zant, who's all of 17, offers free downloads of tracks by seven acts, including his band Van Paul and the Forever Reds, although it's up to the bands if they want to give their music away or charge for it.
If you give away the music, what's in it for the artists?
The artists get free promotion, a chance to air their music and, in theory, more opportunities to play live.
And if you're giving away the music, how can the music company make any money?
In the case of Rock Royalty, which manages its artists, it gets a cut of the income the acts make at their live shows.
"We're doing all the middleman stuff, so bands don't need promoters, managers, agents, people who dress them up or do their makeup," says Jay. "We're doing everything in-house.
"The harder we work for them, the more money we make. Everybody wins."
Over at Munch Music, revenue comes from acts using the Munch recording studio, a company store that sells CDs and clothing, and from music students who go to Munch for lessons. The company, run by Van Zant and his mother, Dawn, also makes income from advertising links for their MP3Musicgrams, musical snippets, some by established artists, which people can listen to but not keep on their computers.
"For us, [the free downloads] are free advertising, showing people what our studio is capable of and what kind of artists we can produce," says Van Zant.
Rock Royalty's Jay says the goal is to have full CDs for download, although thus far only Machina, whose members include Jay and Whitehouse, has one available.
"With some of the bands, we're releasing a few tracks at a time as they compile an album," says Jay. "From a marketing standpoint, that allows us to have a new bunch of songs to present to radio stations and MuchMusic."
Even though the music is all available for free, Rock Royalty will still sell CDs at its online store for those who want to support their favourite acts and for those who want the entire package in their hands.
Jay and Whitehouse, who operate their business from the Victoria house they share, believe artists can thrive because they have the freedom to record whatever music they want, producing it themselves using professional or home studios, without feeling pressure from a label to turn out a top-30 song. Similarly, his company does not have the record production and promotion overhead incurred by the big record companies when they try to break new acts.
To make money on live dates, Rock Royalty is focusing on B.C. and Alberta, setting up tours for acts which would hit the best club in each town and tying up only a few hours between stops.
"By having enough bands, we can create a constant flow of bands on the road playing these shows," says Jay.

GATJA-Since their inception, the band has taken a radical departure from the West Coast's musical manifesto by creating songs that embrace harmony, guitar solos, and memorable hook-laden choruses.

Oswald's song "Speak out" could be an anthem for this generation

talking about UK band - Oswald - we have showcased them a few times ...

"Speak out and shout you're not alone!"

sometimes a band comes along and writes a song that makes you want to stand up - and yell - thats ' what the lyrics of Oswalds songs "Speak out " tell us to do
- stand up and speak out- about whatever injustice you see - you're not alone
search artist - Oswald and song "Speak out "

it makes you want to do something about your life or the world - isn't that the power of great music ?

a new sound in rock Christopher B McCarty- "glimpse of God" - new upload on MP3Musicgrams.com

2006-10-14T08:56:00.000-07:00

when browsing through the new uploads on MP3Musicgrams.com I clicked on -Christopher B McCarty- "glimpse of God" out of curiosity with the name of the song. At first glance I thought it was one of several new gospel songs uploaded on the site. But it was definitely under the rock category.
Opening it and hearing it – it has tones of vocals and musically of the new Bob Dylan CD . Now , I am not saying this song is really directly comparable to the legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan- but it had a familiar tone to it.
It’s worth a listen- and some interesting lyrics to ponder

calling all "trance" music addicts

2006-10-02T08:48:00.000-07:00

new upload to MP3musicgrams.com

Dusted King by Nozerhole

For those of you hard core rockers not familiar with this genre-
here is a "definition" I found ...
Trance is a style of electronic dance music that developed in the 1990s. Trance music is generally characterized by a tempo of between 130 and 160 bpm, featuring repeating melodic synthesizer phrases, and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track, often crescendoing or featuring a breakdown. Sometimes vocals are also utilised. The style is arguably derived from a combination of largely techno and house. 'Trance' got iits name from the repetitious morphing beats, and the throbbing melodies which would presumably put the listener into a trance-like state.

Rock and Roll Dream Lyrics - Asia

2006-09-25T20:03:00.000-07:00

lyrics to ponder ... as we chase ours

Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
When I see the faces from the limousine
No chance of our survival
Armed forces, the guardians of the law
Awaiting our arrival
They all are young
We all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us in
All the things I've seen
Words I said, I didn't mean
Feelings, I took for granted
But now reality
One thing we could never see
Everything, we always wanted
They all are young
We all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us inRock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
Rock and roll dreamNot what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
If I had the choice
Words came through my voice
I should have left unspoken
Now it's obvious
Clear to all of us
The dream that now is broken
Take the stage tonight
Go face the lights
With this image you should keep
But you're crying in your sleep
TonightRock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now

Rule #2: Know You're the Best

2006-02-14T16:40:00.000-08:00

There's one difference to me between a truly successful person and an unsuccessful person, and that is that successful people know they are a successful. If you ever second guess your work or think that it's pretty good but you're not sure if it's the best then it isn't the best. Basically for being a musician your number one fan should always be yourself. If you think that your band is just ok or you find that you can't listen to your entire song without getting bored then make it the best. That's probably one of the most important things I've learned about the music business so far is that if you aren't 100% sure that you will be a success than for sure no one else will be. It's kind of like acting. A good actor learns to truly believe he is the character and a bad actor just thinks they are acting. So that is without a doubt rule #2 to living your rock and roll dream. You have to know you, your band, your music and every aspect of yourself if as good as it can possibly be.

Rule # 1 to living your rock and roll dream

2006-01-24T18:56:00.000-08:00

Do you havea rock and roll dream of becoming a famous rock star who is idolized by thousands. Well I certainly do, and so I started Munch Music, a store which allows musicians and bands to make their rock and roll dreams a reality. Through my store I've learned a lot about the music business from the point of view of a musician, a song writer, a music store owner and a sound engineer. Now I'm not exactly the best at any of these roles or I would have already fufilled my dream, but I have learned enough to share with others who have dreams of being a rock and roll legend. Through this blog I hope to share what knowledge I can with others seeking theiur rock and roll fame and also add in some sweet stuff I've learnt from the various people I've met from the music business. Now, the fisrt rule that I've learnt so far is to get started. That means just start doing something to make your rock and roll dream more of a reality. This can be anything from practicing for ten hours a day, or starting to books shows for yourself or maybe even just starting to get more involved with yourt music community by working at a local music store. Whatever you do decide to do though, make sure at least you start doing it, beacuse I have learnt that there are a lot of people out there with a dream of being a rock star so you better make sure your starting as fast as possible or you may just get left behind. I hope the stuff I share will be of use to someone in becoming a big time rock legend and I will continue to share my knowledge and for any other musicians who have some knwoledge they'd like to share, please do so. So for all you aspiring rock stars, its time to start living your dream.
