UNSIGNED ROCK N' ROLL BANDS FIND A HAVEN ON THE INTERNET AND GET NOTICED

Edited by Madelyn Miller, the travelLady

Just as Led Zepplin, Metallica and Green Day played endless nights on the club scene before making it big, many aspiring rock musicians have been able to only dream of one day becoming famous. But once again, modern technology is changing all of this.

Many bands struggle to get noticed by the producers and capture the ears of listeners, just like other hard rock giants did at the start of their music careers. A select few do make it to the top quickly, but what happens to those unsigned rock bands who are not on the charts yet?

Recently, many unsigned rock bands have discovered a haven on the Internet where they can get noticed around the world as well as sell their music CDs. The site is called StrictlyRock.com, and it is setting a new trend for the music industry.

StrictlyRock.com was unleashed by a former band manager and executive producer named Steven Graham. Graham's experience in working with rock n' roll bands and his passion for the music drove him to develop a site that sells unsigned bands' CDs as
well as popular rock merchandise and rock memorabilia to the world.

"I enjoy working with unsigned bands, trying to help them get a record contract or even being executive producer on their CD. My goal now is to help unsigned bands sell their CDs and to market rock merchandise to the world," states Graham.

For millions of rock music enthusiasts, the site is a gateway to the side of rock n' roll they may never see in the mainstream media. Through StrictlyRock.com's own radio show, rock fans can listen to talented rock bands they have never heard before. Fans
also get to sample MP3 songs of featured bands at the site, and buy their CDs before they reach stardom.

Bands and fans of all rock music types are enjoying this new-found online treasure. From hard rock to heavy metal, from punk to grunge, no matter what the flavor of rock, there are bands and fans waiting to unite.

"The concept of this website is exactly what it sounds like -strictly rock," says Graham.
