1. We earned more more than we did all of last year with CDBaby
2. Masquerade Generation was selected for inclusion on a multinational goth compilation from Germany (more info to come)
3. Darkpage Records of Moscow, Russia contacted us and reached an agreement for distribution in Russia
4. Huge numbers of listens from individual listeners
This is shockingly more successful than CDBaby. So, we checked CDBaby, and learned that CDBABY TOOK DOWN ALL OF OUR FREE ALBUMS and is welching on their agreement to make music available at no cost. CDBaby is attempting to get around the whole "free" deal by requiring you to buy a barcode.
Also, Bandcamp is much more user-friendly on both the artist and the listener side. We probably should have realized this 10 years ago, but living on an island in Alaska, you miss out on numerous important trends and technological developments sometimes.
Needless to say, due to this astonishing discrepancy in user experience we will be moving all material from CDBaby to Bandcamp within the coming weeks. In the meantime, some of the links on our site may take you to empty CDBaby pages for albums for which we have not "bought a bar code."
Thanks for your patience!
The most recent three Young Vulgarians albums are available at youngvulgarians.bandcamp.com, and Masquerade Generation is at masqueradegeneration.bandcamp.com
