On Monday November 10 2008, Belfast trio Escape Act will release their debut album Loosely Based on Fiction. So what you say; bands release records all the time. Ah yes, but following on from Oasis' free sheet music giveaway, Escape Act will release each and every song from the album online via a series of blogs. The first track, Kings have Fallen was released on MP3Hugger on September 27 and the next track will be released on BoxSetGo this weekend.
After that tracks will be released weekly with directions as to where to get your next fix been given on the band's website www.escapeact.com. Apropos of nothing it may be worth your while checking out Key Notes on the weekend of October 25/26.
Should you decide you like what you hear then a limited number of CD's will be available to purchase, each with an individually customised booklet.
Given how many bands Key Notes hears complaining about the lack of methods of distribution available it is a pleasant surprise to see a band take such an innovative step and this blog certainly wishes them all the best.
