The 3 M's of Being in a Band

At Upstate Recordings we are more than just a At recording studio in Spartanburg, SC. We help bands with the 3 M's of being in the band. In order to be in a successful band you have to have Music, Marketing and Management. We work with you on all three.

"M" Number One: Music

First we help you record a great sounding demo or full length album. On average a booking agent will give your song 30 seconds to impress them. If you don’t have the wow factor, your email gets deleted and you will never here back about playing at that venue. A band cannot grow their fan base, without getting in front of them. We will ensure that your music sounds professional. By having a great sounding demo you will set your band apart from the others.

"M" Number 2: Marketing

Second we work with you on every aspect of marketing: Photography, Videography, EPK's, Website Design, SEO, Merch and Media Management. We will help optimize your website, Facebook and Twitter accounts to help Google and other search engines find your band. If search engines cannot find your band, neither can your fans. Josh is professional photographer and has worked with some of the biggest bands in the country. He will make your promotional and live shots stand out. Every successful band has a streamlined and professional EPK. We will build these for you.

"M" Number 3: Management

Finally we manage your band. After you have a great sounding album, a professional EPK, and your band media sites are ranking in Google, you are going to stay busy. We will take the headache out of booking and managing your band. We make sure that you get booked at clubs you want to play. We handle all your booking contracts so you do not have to worry about if and how much you are going to get paid. We also will release your CD on Itunes and other online sources as well CD duplication.

What Sets Us Apart

We started this company to help musicians succeed and to grow the music scene in SC. We are not here to collect a paycheck. That is why when we record we chose to charge by the song not the hour like other At recording studios in Greenville,SC.. On average a band takes 6-10 hours per song. Even at a cheap studio at 20 dollars an hour bands spend 120-200 dollars a song. We charge 100 dollars a song. We try to complete at least one song per day. We record between 8am - 5pm typically. However if a band is not finished by 5, we do not kick them out, we stay until the product is done. There have been several bands that needed a extra 2-5 hours and we give them just that without charging a extra buck.

Our Referal Program

We offer bands a way to help pay for their own recordings. If a band refers another band or artist to us we give them a 10 dollar credit per song the referred band does with us. We do this to help musicians and lets face it the best form of advertisement is word of mouth. If you are interested in recording with us you can contact us through our website or email Kyle or Josh
