Wall of Mouths

Or we could make donations towards a real cd single actually beinng released, maybe we could do what some other band did once and pay for the album before its been recorded, the band will then use our money to record it and we get sent a special edition of it as a thank you.

How about a split release with the wildhearts, or some other band, may seem a stupid idea at first but think how popular the wildhearts still are, people will see it and go oh therapy? are on this as well i aint heared tehm since troublegum.

Well, the internet is a really powerfull tool, and many people have Myspaces, maybe we could dig up a few good quality, enterataining Therapy? music videos and post them in Myspace bulletins.

(For those that dont know, Myspace is a network of friends, like MSN but in a web browser and it isnt IM. Anyway a Mysapce Bulletin is essentially sending an email or news report, sticking it on a virtual wall and anyone on your friends list can see it.

By doing this not only are many people going to (hopefully) see it, but they could then check out the Therapy? website, have a listen on the Myspace. Also, it’s free, so I cant see why we wouldnt give it a go?

Especially since even if only about 50 of us did it, assuming were all connected to about 30 friends at least, thats potential for 1500 people to click on and hear Therapy?.

What do you think?

I also think the ideas of an advert would be good, or maybe we could all run around posting flyers :P

I must be honest, I’m not sure about all this. Us chipping in for recording costs and shoving advertising space on tv is more than a little costly to most of our pockets, no matter how much of a good idea it might be.

But isn’t what record companies exist for?

Soul doubt is right! I’ve got a few people into T? by constantly singing their songs drunkenly at the top of my lungs, to the point where a load of mates checked them out and even came to see them with me @ Download the other year!

Its true T? don’t belong on the radio at the mo but this type of music will come round again when whatever is the current fashion slows down . I predict Britrock will return in a few years and T? will be considered the fathers cos they’ve kept going and will make a triumphant return to the stadiums! :)

Anyone up for the myspace bulletin thing i mentioned?

I’m always telling friends about T?. I feel they’re missing out by not listened to them :p

I dont think all the panic!atthedisco fans on my list give a sahit to be honnest, and the people that would be intrested are already therapy? fans

One thing you must remember is that Spitfire is an indie label.
They don’t have bags of money at their disposal like Universal records, for example.
I think a bit more promotion would be cool from Spitfire but their resources are limited.

Guess it’ll be word of mouth for the next album. :rolleyes:

1. T? could involve the fans in the album making process a bit more. A sleeve design competition would be cool, or why not a riff-competition, where the winning riff would end up on the album? This would hopefully create even more loyal fans and give T? some cool press coverage.

Huh?? Absolutely not! I don’t want someone else to write the riffs for Therapy? the creative part is their job. We, the fans, are only here to adore them! ;)
