QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

Question: I still don’t get it, explain this to me again?
Answer: Indie 360 is a project by an independent record company called 3000 Records. We help independent Bands & Artists get exposure by including 1 or 2 songs on a Co-Op CD (compilation). The CDs are distributed free to people in the Music Industry, and the general public. Being on our Co-Op CD allows you to get your music heard by new listeners, including people who can make a difference in your music career. Simply follow steps 1 and 2 under “Instructions” to participate!

Question: OK, where exactly will these CDs be distributed?
Answer: The exact location depends on the region you choose to have your song(s) promoted to. We send the CDs to Radio Stations, Magazines, Record Companies, Film & T.V Production Companies, plus participating Bands & Artists. To see examples visit www.examples.indie360.com
