The Broken Records Collective is the newest brain child of Broken Records Magazine Editor-in-Chief Justin Sarachik, and will be looking to take several of Staten Island's very best artist's in rock music and hip-hop and join them together for one common goal, success.
The concept is to create a management/promotions record label on Staten
Island that holds true to everything it promises and works exclusively
with the groups to succeed as a collective.
At the start, the
label will merge hip-hop and rock to create a powerhouse of talent that
not only showcases individuals, but moves powerfully as a group to
present a great show and experience for anyone involved.
The artist's have been specifically selected to compliment each other
in order provide the best results. While mixing rap and rock is not a
new concept, there will only be one band that floats in the middle of
both. The rest of the groups will be strictly rap or rock, but at the
same time unique to the collective as a whole.
BRC will aim for
two group shows a month, one in the beginning and one in the end. In
between these shows, smaller selections of the group will perform either
a rock show or a rap show or any other show a band has an obligation to
fulfill.
Proceeds from the shows will be split up between the
artist's and the remainder will go back into the group to be used for
promotion, merchandise, or whatever the collective needs.
Promotion for the group will come through Broken Records Magazine,www.Brokenrecordsonline.com, www.thesibandguy.blogspot.com,www.Offtangent.com, WSIA 88.9 Staten Island, Facebook and Twitter group pages, and the overall hustle and word of mouth of the parties involved.
Broken Records will provide the contacts and means of reaching out to
record labels, publicist, and other publications in order to raise
awareness in other places. A monthly press release/newsletter will be
sent out to blogs and music sites to inform the Internet world what is
going on.
BRC will be working internally to provide for itself
jobs, whether it be recording, photography, videos, or promoters. The
group will be a well oiled machine, a community of talent helping each
other get to the next level.
Starting 2012, the BRC is here to stay.
