Kickstarter has done some amazing things, and for that reason it has become increasingly common. Many bands, artists, and creative minds have been given amazing opportunities by this program, and it's incentive program gives the fans a reason beyond just loyalty to support their faves. I guess that is why one of my faves, Young London, has decided to jump on the bandwagon -- and let me tell you why you should back them.
First and foremost, you should help out Matt and Sarah because they are amazing. Their debut single landed them a UCA back in 2011 and the album landed them a nomination for a Boston Music Award. They have been recording like crazy and releasing singles left and right for their new EP "Instincts". They need a bit of help, but don't worry, they are already well on their way to getting their goal.
If you choose to support them in this venture, you not only get the comfort of knowing that amazing pop music making will continue, but also a few earthly possessions. You can get a signed physical copy, a shirt, or even your own concert if you are willing to donate enough. So 3,500 dollars may be a little steep for your own concert, but it's the thought that counts, right? In all seriousness every little bit counts, especially if you are a fan of their music.
As far as what will be on the new EP, things are up in the air. The video seemed to allude that a track called "Infinite Love" will be featured, complete with it's own cover art. There has been no word if "Broken" or "Call My Name (Tonight)" will be featured on this release or not. Also, they didn't mention much as far as what else we would be hearing other than that it would all be of the new vibe for the group.
What can be said about this is that they are announced as being on the entire run of this year's Warped Tour, which is an impressive feat. They also want to spin a music video from this Kickstarter, as well as some international touring to visit their fans abroad. If only I could get them to hit up a club in St. Louis!
Ok, enough of my soap box plea. I know this is getting a bit ridiculous, but I love this group, and I love what they do. This site has helped literally hundreds of people achieve their goals, and I think this could be YL's chance to move forward. Independent music is expensive, and this is a group that deserves the extra push.
Hit up the site, check out the rewards, and donate!
I'm gonna back them right now!
