A round up of nice March of Dimes mentions

Posted on by

We’ve had quite a few people say lovely things about the band and our new EP From Those Who Were There recently.

My Life in Leeds were nice enough to plug our Cockpit gig on July 23rd.

Keep Music Live / Leeds Music Promotions were nice to say “The songwriting and musicianship on show, makes it nigh on impossible for any of the bands peers to equal let alone beat this flawless CD from a very special band.”

And Americana UK gave us 9 out of 10 and a lovely review, click on the name to read it!

Thankfully we’ve only had one smelly review, but oddly enough that’s about all we’ve had back! If you would like to review it, or know of someone that would like to, then drop me a line.

You can hear From Those Who Were There by March of Dimes on Spotify, or buy it from iTunes, Amazon MP3, or 7Digital.

I was on Facebook this morning, when I saw this comment:

“´The whole Spotify is just a big scum… I’ve heard some opinions from the musicians… :>” (sic)

And wanted to reply…

I’m a musician, and my band’s music is on Spotify – March of Dimes, From Those Who Were There, if anyone fancies a listen.

Being on Spotify is essential for us, just as much as the ubiquitous Myspace page. We don’t get much cash from it. We’re cool with that. If someone listens, and likes our music, ideally they’ll pop along to a gig and see us live. Then, with any luck, they’ll buy an EP – which we *do* get a bit of money from.

The big difference if on spotify, if someone shares that music and picks up on it from Twitter or Facebook or suchlike, we’re more likely to be listened to. And if we’re more likely to be listened to we’re more likely to be liked by more people.

So, far from being a big “scum” (I think you meant scam) it’s no more a scam than putting your tracks on Myspace. In fact, it’s much better.
