Fuel TV and Myspace Records Announce Pennywise Giveaway
Los Angeles, Ca - FUEL TV and MySpace Records have teamed up to give a lucky winner and a friend the chance to fly to Los Angeles and see the seminal punk band PENNYWISE perform live on FUEL TV’s show “The Daily Habit.” This special flyaway promotion ties in to the release of PENNYWISE’s new album Reason To Believe, coming out on March 25, 2008. To win this trip of a lifetime, fans only need to enter the contest on FUEL TV’s web site, fuel.tv, between February 21 and March 6. The winner will be flown with a guest to Los Angeles on March 20 to hang with the band and watch them perform in the studio on March 21.
Ten second-place winners will receive special PENNYWISE prize packs including autographed skate decks, CDs, and PENNYWISE T-shirts.
“We’re thrilled to present to our fans the opportunity to see PENNYWISE, who have been a significant part of the action sports world since their inception,” says Daryl Berg, Fuel TV’s Director, Music Supervision and Licensing.
“FUEL TV is the perfect partner to help launch this next phase of PENNYWISE’s long and storied career,” says J Scavo, MySpace Records, “as their enthusiastic viewership matches perfectly with PENNYWISE’s passionate fan base.”
“The extreme sports crowd has always been super supportive of PENNYWISE,” says guitarist Fletcher Dragge. “Our songs have been used in tons of surf, skate, and snowboard videos and we’re stoked to be working with and performing on FUEL TV.”
In a U.S. record label first, PENNYWISE will be giving away its new album for FREE. Beginning March 25, 2008, fans around the world will be able to obtain a high-quality, DRM-free download from MySpace for a period of two weeks.
This marks the first time a U.S. record label has provided an artist with the opportunity to offer a new album free of charge and the first time MySpace has offered a full album download with a worldwide push. This music industry precedent is a result of the collaboration between the band, their new label MySpace Records, MySpace.com and Textango (provider of creative solutions for distributing music via text messaging).
On the same day Reason To Believe becomes available for free download (March 25), PENNYWISE and MySpace Records will also release a CD version of the album to retail outlets for sale, containing the same songs as the downloadable version. There will also be a limited-edition double-vinyl version available on April 8 with two extra exclusive tracks.
To download the album for free beginning March 25, 2008, users simply have to add promotional partner “Textango” as a MySpace friend (anyone can create a MySpace account for free).
