A short snippet of a longer conversation with Martin from Lincoln-based alt-rock band Carry the Crown.

Martin and I spent a good hour talking about the history of the band, how they built their team, the technical aspects of their live setup, and how to get bigger and better shows. This short snippet covers the topic that first introduced me to the band, the incredible feat of one million streams on Spotify for a DIY band.

Check them out at https://www.facebook.com/carrythecrown/

Carry The Crown are bringing their energy driven version of modern alt rock to the forefront of the music scene across the UK. Known for their thrilling stage performances, they bring their catchy and anthemic sounds and mix them with a stage show that the crowds love.

With an exciting commercial image, the boys both look and sound the part as a major band for the future. This, mixed with exposure from the BBC Introducing platform, has lead to the band being featured by Huw Stephens on his Radio 1 show.

After the success of their first EP they are back with a matured sound that perfectly brings together the melodic vocals of bands like You Me At Six and smashes them together with the bouncy guitar work of Don Broco.

The band are driven beyond belief and have achieved more in their first year than even they could have expected. After meeting in Lincoln one night and talking about their love of live music the idea for Carry The Crown was born. Since that date the fan base and support has exploded and fans are crying out for more of what CTC are creating.

How to DIY your way to 1 Million Spotify Streams (with Martin from Carry the Crown)



A ten-point plan.

1.  Speedy Wunderground is a new label which begins on February 25th with the release of I Go Out by Steve Mason & Emiliana Torrini. 

2.  Speedy Wunderground is the idea of producer Dan Carey. Dan will produce all releases. All records will be recorded at Dan’s South London studio. Dan has previously produced Franz Ferdinand, Bat For Lashes, TOY, Willy Mason, Django Django, Emiliana Torrini, The Kills, Chairlift and Steve Mason.

3.  Recording of all records will be done in one day and finish before midnight. The recordings will be a snapshot of the day. Mixing will be done the day following the recording, also in one day only. This will prevent over-cooking and ‘faff’.

4. There will be no lunch break during recording and mixing days.

5.  Overdubs will be kept to a minimum allowing the recordings to be free of clutter.

6.  The recordings will appear in limited runs of two hundred and fifty 7”s, which will be in the shops as soon as humanly possible following their completion.

7.  The core of each song will be a live take recorded in the dark with smoke and lazers and somewhere on each record the Swarmatron - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJyub78p924 - will make an appearance.

8.  Speedy Wunderground work quickly. There will be as a little delay as possible between recording and release. Speedy Wunderground records will not sit on the shelf gathering dust waiting to be released.

9.  Speedy Wunderground will release each year’s recordings as a compilation at the end of the year.

10. Speedy Wunderground Records will not be slow.
