“It’s time for a streaming service that is centred around and driven by the artist community directly. Artists are prolific beyond a new recording every two years. They perform, tour, record, and collaborate constantly. Uprise.fm will not only make these rare and unique recordings available, we will ensure that the artists are fairly compensated for this work.” YearsTwoArtistCommunityRecordsUniqueAvailableDrivenTwo YearsStreaming Author:Daniel Lanois
“I've always thought that "punk" wasn't really a genre. My band started in Olympia where K Records was and K Records put out music that didn't sound super loud and aggressive. And yet they were punk because they were creating culture in their own community instead of taking their cue from MTV about what was real music and what was cool. It wasn't about a certain fashion. It was about your ideology, it was about creating a community and doing it on your own and not having to rely on, kinda, "The Man" to brand you and say that you were okay.” MenRealCertainCultureSoundCommunityRecordsFashionHe ManBandCreatingOkayIdeologyBrandsGenreLoudRelyAggressivePunkMtvReal Music Author:Kathleen Hanna
“I have always been involved with radio, whether it was as an artist talking to radio about my own songs, or as a promotion man at Def Jam to working records through my company. In 2000 I was asked to host a show in Norfolk VA and through that show I was then asked to host the morning show in Detroit. The concept of the show was around Hip Hop. We were active in the community and we wanted to do a local show that had a hip hop feel around it.” MenFeelsShowsWantedArtistSongCommunityMy OwnCompanyTalkingMorningRecordsInvolvedConceptsHip HopRadioActiveLocalsHipsHopsHostPromotionJamDetroitNorfolk Author:MC Serch
