Remember Tower Records PULSE! Magazine?
Tower.com is re-launching PULSE! as an online magazine that will include artist and label features, interviews, reviews and much more!
We are asking for your help in building an online PULSE! that will be every bit as good as the one we all used to pick up at the Tower Record stores. There is one difference, though, we will be including content not only from industry reviewers and journalists but our (and your) customers as well.
What we need?
- Any bio information about your label and/or artists
- Completed interviews and/or a list of artists that may be interested
- Tower Records stories from anyone that has one
- Promo releases for our reviewers
- Any ideas you have?
Tower.com is under new management that is once again passionate about music and advocacy for artists and labels whose music needs to be heard. We are developing partnerships that will combine the Tower brand with some of the most exciting and cutting edge technology currently available. The year 2010 will see a transformation back to what Tower meant to our customers, but, frankly, we can’t do it alone.
Sincerely,
