Yooo this is one hell of a deal to any band performing!!! Be sure to check it out!

Yo, only 11 sleeps till Midwest Metal Fest ! It's coming up fast! Got room for 5 bands to record their set live, so hit me up in the DMs and let's make it happen! It's $100 for the stems, and you can have your engineer mix/master it, or for $300, I'll do everything! First come first serve, with a 2-week turnaround on the album. Heads up, that means if you're the second band on my roster, you're looking at a 1-month turnaround... But hey, stems will be available on the night of your performance. A 50% deposit is required for full service. Maybe we can collab on a full music video if you're using Night Art Productions video services?
