Showbread's Next Album Is Free 2010-05-18 by Cuban Pete | 26 Comments | Georgia post-hardcore band Showbread have opted to give away their next album for free and have established a collection fund via online micro-finance initiative Kickstarter.
A statement posted by the band reads: "Showbread has partnered with Come&Live! (an organization that works to equip ministry oriented bands with the ability to offer their music as a free gift) and are preparing to release their 5th (and best) album as a completely free high-quality download through http://comeandlive.com/
"For more on our decision read this: http://comeandlive.com/artists/showbread
"On September 21st, 2010 the band will return to Radiostar Studios in Weed, California to record with Sylvia Massy (who has worked with Tool, Johnny Cash and Prince to name a few) and the creative team behind the Showbread albums "No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical", "Age Of Reptiles" and "The Fear Of God."
"Our vision is to create an amazing album and then give it away as a free gift. Our band exists to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and create unique, challenging art intended for those who do not share our beliefs as much as those who do. For years Showbread has been known, loved and hated for its originality as well as its bizarre nature among other bands, frustratingly obstinate approach to art and controversial and uncompromising vision. Over the years we have received thousands of emails and been approached by countless individuals who have detailed amazing changes God has made in their lives by using albums made by the small and imperfect folks in Showbread. The hope Showbread holds for this album is that it can inspire and be enjoyed and experienced by anyone willing to click a link instead of only those willing to pay for it."
This album and all future Showbread albums will be funded completely by donations from fans and friends of the band. Those who choose to donate towards the next album will receive a plethora of gifts, including a special edition physical copy of the album, an advance download, a vinyl version, signed merchandise, your name in the album credits, private shows, a song written for you personally, and even a carnival cruise with the band.

muy intersante
those are some srsly extenisve gifts
| | |
can't help but admire a band that risks doing something like this, plus i've met them a few times and they are all really cool guys. they put on a really fun live show as well.
| | |
Woah.
| | |
you know what they say, if it doesn't have a price, its probably worthless.
| | |
all donations will secretly fund the band's affinity for red pants
| | |
they haven't worn those pants since their 2004/05 tour...but that's still pretty funny.
| | |
"Radiostar Studios in Weed, California "
anyone else laugh at this?
They have a great idea going, I kinda hope this becomes commonplace for bands. I mean I know it won't, but it would be cool haha.
| | |
Oh gee they're spreading Jesus's gospel to me n' shit
| | |
shut up you atheist queer.
(dont ban me, were friends on facebook n' shit.)
| | |
yeah why is that
| | |
idk. he knows i love the gays.
| | |
Already put down $20
| | |
support ministry bands!
| | |
Not sure which one I want to do...
| | |
take.
| | |
ballsy.
| | |
gotta admire what they're doing
| | |
for sure. I gave em $100 so far. whoever gave them $1000 is very rad.
| | |
I was just about to post this.
I'm really eyeing up that $100 option.
| | |
the $500 is also extremely rad. I'd love to pick a setlist and get a dvd of it.
| | |
Never heard them but will since its free!
| | |
Imma bust out on that 15 dollar option. If i had more i'd definitely go for the 100 dollar one, but I'm broke as of right now.
| | |
they shipped out a couple days ago. you'll get it.
| | |
Even though i'm not religious, i can respect the fact that they are uncompromising in their views. Thats something to be envious of. Really awesome when a band releases an album for free.
| | |
good for them. this is probably the coolest thing anyone has done in while. beats the crap out of radiohead, that's for sure!
