There are a ton of older bands out there who don't actually know how to maintain their legacy. They may have a reputation but they are never able to properly take advantage of it. Alan Averill of Primordial, Metal Blade, Prophecy Productions and Dragon Productions joins us to get granular on how to combat this with some more gems along the way.

This is a big one that comes up. So often a band will flair up, do some promo and then disappear again. There is no sense of how to push your band when you are between sales cycles. We are here to teach you how to fix that. 

This all ties into our upcoming Twitter challenge.  If you want to join our Twitter challenge starting Monday 3/18 please sign up here! https://mailchi.mp/f0eb5978c321/twitterchallenge

Really good question from my friend Zack from the band Pipe Dreamer, how does a band get taken seriously without doing the usual grumpy guys in front of a wall schtick? It's a hard one to figure out and differentiate a lot of the time. That's why we were inspired to dig in and get into why this matters.
