Hey Brian, Thanks for commenting. I think independent artists like yourselves need a new method of finding an audience. Not every band can afford a manager, and not every band has a "Brian Wheat" in the group. The Internet has helped bands get distribution, but as I have pointed out there are very few tools to help you find and build your audience. I would like to see these tools built, as I think they would provide both music fans and artists a new type of community and economy for discovering and sharing music. Good luck with Solving for X. Keep it up. I hope to see you and the band in Vancouver in the very near future!

David, I couldn't agree with you more. iTunes is a great thing...but it is only one of the four essential ingredients for success for any band: 1. a quality product, 2. effective and tireless promotion, 3.competitive pricing and 4. excellent placement (iTunes, music stores, and other means to buy the product). Going the independent route means that it is totally up to us to make ourselves known to people - that is the reason for the press release. But to be successful at this takes creative initiatives, persistent action, tireless perseverance, and an unbelievable amount of patience. It is a lot of work promoting Solving For X. Over time, I think it will payoff. The key is not to expect attention from anyone...there are a TON of great artists out there, all of which deserve attention. Thanks for picking up the story and writing about us. Brian Wheat Solving For X
