A crowdfunding campaign to finance the new Safemode album, has been launched last weekend. Read the following message and check out the video update below.
‘We are in the process of making our best album yet and we need your help to make it happen!’
‘We are in the process of making what we believe to be our best album yet. We have a lot of great songs that are slowly coming together and we believe this album has a special purpose and a vital message that needs to be delivered. Since we are releasing this album by ourselves, without any support of a label, we really need your help to do this. Making an album these days is a very costly project and we need your help to record these songs in a way that’s suitable and best for this album, to get the sound we’re looking for. We also need your help so that we can promote and release this album in an impactful way so that as many people as possible can get their hands on our music.’
What We Need & What You Get
‘We’re looking to raise at least 5000 USD, and if we would make that goal, we would be on a good way to make this dream come true.’
These are the things your support will be helping us do:
Recording
Producing
Promotion
Album art
Music videos
What You Get
‘We’ve got some really cool and exclusive perks for you if you decide to support us. These are just some of them:
We make a song about you
Special “behind the scene” material as the recording goes along
Get your name in the credits on the cd
FaceTime with band members
Access to new music before anyone else’
The Impact
‘Your help is really of vital importance to us. The truth is, we couldn’t do this without the support of our fans. Being an independent band nowadays is not cheap and everything costs money. We would love if we didn’t have to ask our fans for support but it’s just not possible without it so if you feel that this is something you want to help us with, we would be truly grateful and we will make sure not to forget.’
Other Ways You Can Help
‘Maybe you just can’t contribute, but that doesn’t mean you can’t help:’
‘Help us get the word out and make some noise about this campaign!’
‘Use the Indiegogo share tools, and let the world know!’
‘Buy our music on iTunes, Amazon or other digital platforms.’
‘Buy cds, and/or merchandise from our shop jonomedia.se/shop‘
‘Thanks for your support and for being a part of this, we love you all!’
God bless!
Johannes, Tjet, Jonatan, Joel and Robin
