Disc Revolt joins The Fray for Sounds of the Underground

Independent Media Company DISC REVOLT Joins The Fray In Providing Additional Value To This Year's Hot Topic Presents: The Sounds OF The Underground Tour!!!
This summer, fans of The Sounds OF The Underground Tour will have three unique opportunities to receive new and exclusive content through tour sponsors HOT TOPIC and DISC REVOLT. Fans who pick up any merchandise or music from performing bands on this summers' The Sounds OF The Underground Tour at HOT TOPIC stores will receive a Sounds Of The Underground Exclusive Digital Sampler download card redeemable thru DISCREVOLT (www.discrevolt.com ). The digital sampler features new and exclusive tracks from artists performing on the 2007 SOUNDS OF THE UNDERGROUND U.S. Tour
Download cards will also be available on all tour stops at the SOUNDS OF THE UNDERGROUND merchandise tent as an added value with any purchase, also, to the first 50 fans to line up for each daily artist signing session at the HOT TOPIC tent.
"The Sounds of the Underground tour is the concert home for the best underground music. Hot Topic is the retail home for the best in alternative music and fashion. DiscRevolt is quickly becoming the best way to get DRM-free music from great artists. We're excited to partner with these great companies to create this collectible download card and a killer lineup of music" states Joe Kirk, VP of Business Development for DiscRevolt.
Founded in the summer of 2006 by CEO Mike Shamus, DiscRevolt (www.discrevolt.com ) is an independent media company based in the metro Atlanta area, providing physical solutions for digital delivery of media.
For musicians, DiscRevolt is a way to sell downloads through artist-specific download cards. Artists upload songs to the DiscRevolt site and design custom artwork for the plastic download card. DiscRevolt prints the cards with a unique redemption code on the back, and artists then sell them to fans at live shows, as well as online.
Fans enter the access code on the DiscRevolt site and receive credits to download the artist's music.
As in the case of the Sounds of the Underground Tour, DiscRevolt also provides promotional services to artists, labels and other companies with download cards for backend delivery of samplers, pre-releases and other exclusive content.
The organizers for this year's Hot Topic Presents Sounds of the Underground Tour, Paul Conroy and Carl Severson of Ferret Music, Tim Borror of The Agency Group, Larry Mazer of Entertainment Services, tour producer Live Nation along with partners Metal Blade Records, Prosthetic Records, Trustkill Records and The Syndicate, and tour sponsors Music Choice, Ibanez, Tama, Manhunt 2, Purevolume, AOL Radio, Revolver Magazine, Lambgoat and Full Metal Jackie, are excited to embark on this third year of mayhem!
