      All right all you garagepunk aficionados. My question is this. I just finished recording a rip your face off garagepunk session with the dRIVIN bEATS and I want to know what is the best format to release this monster upon the world?

      Vinal; Coolest method but costly and how many pieces can I expect to sell?

      CD; not as cool as vinal but cheeper and I ain’t no dady Warbucks if you know what I mean?

      MP3 release; not cool at all and doesn’t make an impact visually but cheep?

      I know this is a question that everyone is wrestling with these days.

      What say you?

      Yes, try to get up 300 copies of a slab of vinyl... then go for digital stream/download on the net (we can probably help ther if you want) worldwide.

      In my opinion bands have to have huuuuge cred to sell many copies thru distro. Our BIG sellers (never more than 1000 printed) has sold like 70% at gigs, not thru distro.

      But of course it's good to have a distro back when people ask in record stores...

      Feel free to PM us here or at info at zorchproductions.com & we can try help...

      Cheers / ToBBA Z

      Nice one. I think vinyl with download is the way to go these days. I seem to move a lot of unknown bands for OS here in Australia. It is expensive but 300 ain't a bad number. There's plenty of small distro's on the net you can approach.
