Current mood:  excited

Hey everyone!

 ....

It’s been a while since our last blog, but now we are back with our most exciting news yet!

 ....

We have finished writing our debut album, but we have not recorded it yet. As a band we decided not to work with a record label anymore so that we could have more control over our own music.

 ....

Record label’s traditionally pay for Bands to make an album, and then they “own” the album that the artist makes. Instead we have teamed up with an awesome company called Bandstocks, which allows bands to connect directly with fans so that by raising money together, YOU can own part of the Stiff Dylans album!

 ....

So for the price of an album, you will get a copy of the album to listen to, AND a share in The Stiff Dylans album….including any profits!!!

 ....

This is a big chance for you guys to be a part of our CD.

 ....

So for £10 you will get:-

A digital download of the Stiff Dylans Album

A share in the Album’s profits. (the more £10 shares you buy, the more of our album you will own).

Your name printed inside the physical album cover.

 ....

On top of this, for becoming a part of our Bandstocks family, we will personally be giving you:-

Free song download’s that will not be available to anyone else

Free Videos that will not be available to anyone else

Personal thanks from us, The Stiff Dylans.

Priority Gig tickets for any live shows.

 ....

Here’s what you need to know

Sign up at….. www.bandstocks.com


The website says you need to be 15 or over to pre-order our album. It only ask’s you to input your Date Of Birth once, and there is no proof required…..so if you are under 15 we cannot encourage you to lie about your age….but we certainly can’t stop you either! :-P

Or alternatively you can get a Parent to do it for you.

 ....

We really want our fans from outside the UK to be a part of our album as well, and we have found a way to make it happen (because Bandstocks is UK only). We will be setting up a fanclub, which anyone in the World can become a member of for the one off joining fee of £10. Once you are a member of this fanclub, you will get a free digital download of the album, and your name written on the inside of the physical album sleeve.

 ....

Every single one of you makes a difference, and if we don’t raise enough money to record the album, then it can’t be made. If this happens and you DID invest, you will be given your money back IN FULL. But obviously we are hoping everyone will get involved and we will have enough money to pay for the album to be made!

 ....

There has never been a more important time for The Stiff Dylan’s and our fans. There is literally just YOU GUY’s and the 4 of us now, no record labels, no industry bigwig’s. So without you we truly are nothing.

 ....

Stiff Dylans + Great Fan’s = Great Music For Everyone

That sounds awesome! We'll see what happens when you guys set up the fan club, whether I'll be able to join, if not, I'll just buy your album! :) Either way, I'd love to support you guys!

Glad that you provided an alternative for us non-UK fans.  So many bands outside of my country (the US) often forget all about us (and don't provide us with a new album, but release it all over Europe and Aus/NZ...meaning that we have to cough up extra dosh to get it from an online international seller, making it extra expensive since there are very few that take American payment methods).

I think I have found a band more committed to their fans than Short Stack.
I will have to buy this.
Great job guys, come to Australia soon!
