Lyrycyst Partners with GimmeSound.com to "Free the Music"
The partnership with Gimmesound allows me to give away a chunk of my music to anyone I come across, and still get some of the income I need to keep making the music and progressing forward. For the first time in my career, money won't be the determining factor in whether or not someone is impacted by the message of love in my songs!

... intriguing new model for music distribution.

So there’s a new website that’s gaining some momentum called GimmeSound.com, and I’ve poked around and concluded that it’s pretty much awesome.

... free downloads of full albums from awesome labels. The idea of this site has been done before, but Gimme Sound is hosting some really quality acts and the best part is that for each song you download the artist gets paid at a fairly reasonable rate.

Gimmesound is going to save the music industry.

I've been trying to get my distributors and anyone with the resources to get on this concept for literally the last 3 years or so. Everyone was super hesitant or just flat out lazy. I'm stoked that somebody finally had the smarts to get going with it. It's completely the way things must evolve...

Evolve or die!
Rather than try to fight, sue, or waste incessant time bad-mouthing the music-acquiring habits of people who "illegally" download full albums created by the glut of "hard-working" 20-somethings piling into vans and smoking the reefer in every city, forward-thinking individuals have been spending the last few years acknowledging the behavior and figuring out how to adapt accordingly.

With that said, Magic Bullet Records is proud to announce a partnership with the newly launched Gimmiesound.com

Brent Eyestone's post on the VivaLaVinyl Message Board

Just a quick update here to announce a new partnership we've forged with the good folks over at [gimmesound.com] ... So this means that the age old debate over whether or not it's cool to download an artists material without supporting them by purchasing their material has found a much needed compromise. Hopefully this excites people as much as it excites us!

Seti Alpha 5 has been on gimmesound.com for less than 1 month now, and already, our music has reached more ears than in the past YEAR.

Music sites are popping up all over the place, but we think you've got something really special going on here.

Chris from It’s From the Sky - Cambridge, MA

gimmesound.com is an amazing resource for bands. This is the way of the future and answer to the illegal download. Most of us starting off in the music industry have already come to the conclusion that we are not gonna make much money off of our record sales. gimmesound.com gives us and oppurtunity to make money with our music again. We tested the waters and realized we can make some money ... We've been with it ever since and our revenue each month is growing!

Brandon from Say You Will - Johnson City, TN

If you're a band go upload your music to gimmesound.com. You get paid and they are cool and they won't @!&% you!
