• One of your well recorded songs included on our Compilation CD, XROXX Rocks, Volume 2, along with at least 14 other indie punk/ska/emo/hardcore artists from across the United States (and maybe the world).
• On the insert of the CD, we will include your band name, title of work that the song is from, your booking info, location, & website.
• At least 2000 disks will be made in the first pressing. More will be pressed as they are demanded. These disks with your music on it will be distributed throughout the U.S. through various media outlets.
• 100 CD's will be shipped to you for free distribution to your fans or for resale. We recommend that you sell the CD for $8, therefore receiving $800 after all CDs are sold. This is an $800 value. (BE SURE TO READ BELOW TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN GET MORE THAN 100 CDS IN YOUR PACKAGE)
• 50 CD's will be sent to punk magazines/e-zines throughout the world for review. With shipping and CD costs, this is a $500 value.
• 200 CD's will be sent to the Top 200 College Stations in the U.S. (according to CMJ magazine) for airplay and review. With shipping and CD costs, this is a $1500 value.
• 50 CD's will also be sent out to 50 punk/ska record labels. With shipping and CD costs, this is a $500 value.
• Your song will get more notice being on a compilation CD sent to a college station rather than just in another one of the countless press kits that college stations receive every year. Inevitably, just like the songs on our last CD, your song will get airplay on college stations across the country. Plus, we have a former college radio general manager and 11 year college radio veteran that know how to get airplay on our team.
• By being on our compilation CD, we will also guarantee airplay on XROXX. Every band on the XROXX Rocks, Volume 1 will have their song played twice a day for a month after the disk is released and probably longer.
• Individualized sweepers will be created to run before or after your song telling listeners who you are and will encourage them to visit your website for a month after the disk is released. For running sweepers (little commercials for your band) before or after your song is played and for the time needed to create the sweeper, this is a $350 value.
• In addition to this, we will run our own promotions campaign to promote the CD and the artists on it including an ad in the internationally distributed Punk Planet Magazine - $100 value.
• We guarantee the review of any upcoming album or EP that you release on our website. You support us, the least we can do is support you, right?
• We will sell your albums/merch on our site at a discounted rate from that of other bands.
• A banner ad rotating on the pages of the XROXX site featuring your band and linking to your website will be included for a month after payment is received. You pick the month. For the production of the banner ad and the space on the site, this is a $30 value.
• In addition to this, we will run our own promotions campaign to promote the CD and the artist's on it.

If you add up all of the "Values" that we included throughout the details of the CD, you'd see that it adds up to over $3000. We included "Values" only on the things that we could actually figure out a tangible value for. In addition, who knows the value that you would receive if you were signed due to a label hearing you on the compilation CD that we sent in the mail or being played on our web station?

Obviously, being on this compilation CD is worth way more to your band than just the $3000+ of tangible value that we came up with, which we would never ask a band to pay. Remember, XROXX is all about the helping the unsigned/indie bands...we are only asking $400 to be a part of the XROXX Rocks Vol. 2 Compilation CD. This is a fair amount to help us cover our costs and a fair amount for a band to cover when considering the tremendous amount of value they will receive. This is basically a co-op opportunity. All of the bands and XROXX come together to create something more grand than any single band could create and help each other out and saving money while doing it!

Do the math: we are sending you 100 copies of this compilation CD that we suggested you sell for $8 apiece. When you sell all 100 CDs, you will have brought in $800 and actually have made $400 just for being on this compilation!! In addition to getting all the great value from being on this compilation, you actually made money off of being on it! Let's say you just want to cover your costs: sell all your CDs for $4 apiece or sell 50 of your CDs for $8 apiece and give the rest away to your fans and friends. Anyway you look at it, you'll be able to earn back the money you spent to be on this compilation and more! Keep in mind all of the future value that you will receive from the promotion your band will receive for being on this album!

If you are concerned about being able to pay, we are not asking for the full amount all at once. However, if you can, we’ll hook you up with more copies of the COMP CD…here is the breakdown:
$200 upfront = 100 Comp. CD's
$300 upfront = 120 Comp. CD's
$400 upfront = $150 Comp. CD's
…also, if you get your song, band info, and payment into us by December 1st, we’ll add in 30 free 17 inch color posters featuring your band promoting your being on the COMP CD for you to hang in local record stores or at your shows.

The first 15 bands that contact us and want to be on this disk will be on the CD that is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2005. Any bands after the first 15 will have to wait until Vol. 3 comes out later on in the Summer of 2005.

YOU WILL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS TO YOUR MUSIC!!!

If you sell or give away all 100 of your CDs, we will order you more upon your request at $3/CD.

We are very proud of what XROXX has been and what it will become as well as this offer that we have put together to aid in the promotion of music from unsigned bands. We want this process to be very open and encourage you to call or e-mail us with any questions or concerns that you have. We hope to hear from you soon!
