The Altsounds Network Launches Altsounds TV:
Is there such a place where no visual boundaries exist? Where astronauts and gorilla's collide into a mass of musical, televisual, online randomness? Where bands and artists become characters within their own world? Yes, there is. We welcome you to online music television 2.0 - something you have never experienced before, a new, fresh, random, funny, delightful, emotional rollercoaster of visual wonderment. Enter, Altsounds TV.
Find out what happened when the Altsounds TV crew caught up with Corey Taylor from Stone Sour and Slipknot on the Gibson Tour Bus at Sonisphere festival 2010. Talk about coffee, the early days including the demo of Sometimes, the new album on Roadrunner Records and their song Cardiff.
This video is also available on Youtube and Vimeo and to find just search for “Corey Taylor & Altsounds” on each respective sites search.
You may have noticed that Altsounds.com has had a makeover, with some stunning new aesthetics and a spanking new social comments section for easier use. You can now log in with Facebook, Twitter etc just to drop by and say hello, or lay into our review team, whichever you fancy and all without needing to actually signup to the site! We have also introduced a new chat footer bar which allows everyone to stay in touch a lot easier on Altsounds (for the people that do choose to become a member). There is a beautiful new background, header and footer and the site just generally feels cleaner whilst being more edgy and visually interesting. You might call it bias, but there really is no other site in the world like Altsounds in terms of our ethics and now there is no site that looks as good either! Along with the aesthetics we also invested more money into our servers so you will notice the site is smoother and runs a lot faster.
We have also done a tightening up of all our staff and now have THE strongest, musically opinionated tastemakers in the industry. Anyone that feels they have what it takes to write for us please get in touch with me by replying to this mail
The Altsounds Mag-e(a)-zine:
Altsounds is forever dipping its musical claw into everyone's pies. A new PDF and printed on demand mag-e(a)-zine is currently in the making and is not just looking fresher than any other magazine out there but our content is so diverse it will be an amazing read as we will be coverig music both from a listener perspective and from a band / producer perspective . The mag will be like no other you have seen before, will all the best reviews, features, interviews competitions and much more all slammed into a 40 page magazine shifted out to our 500k+ monthly unique users. This will also be available as a print on demand hard copy for anyone looking to get it in their hands to read. We are also in talks about potentially selling the magazine on the streets of the UK in key cities, Nothing is confirmed yet but everything looks very promising.
Issue 1 will be available everywhere from October 1st 2010.
We are currently offering advertising in the Magazine so please get in touch if you would like to place an ad in the magazine. The Media Kit below gives more info about our demographic and prices etc and the prices are reasonable enough to fit into anyone's budget - even small, unsigned bands.
Altsounds Malware / Virus Attacks:
We would like to apologise to any of you that noticed the very temporary virus / Malware attacks that we experienced in August. The cause of these attacks were found to be with a rogue advertiser that had provided us with dodgy ad codes that looked like normal ads but contained some under handed code. Their cover was quite good, providing us with various dodgy (but real looking) documents that made their ad campaign seem legit. The company we were advertising was also a global brand and although this is nothing to do with them (more to do with the people that were supposedly representing this brand), they were used to make the legitimacy of the ad campaign feel completely real.
Luckily for us, this was fixed and troubleshot very quickly and will never happen again, we can assure you of that. Your privacy, safety and security whilst browsing Altsounds.com is very important to us.
Seeking Writers, Videographers, Photographers etc:
We are always expanding our team at Altsounds and are currently on the lookout for writers looking to interview and review bands and festivals, people to do their own weekly columns, particularly anyone from a successful band, photographers looking to shoot gigs or videographers looking to have their own show on Altsounds TV. All the roles are unpaid but you get to be a part of the Altsounds Elite and to help mould music for the better. Please reply to this stating your interest and we will get back to you about details and to see if you will make it and become a member of The Altsounds Elite.
