"SURELY IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THE BOYS ARE BOTHERING THE CHARTS WITH THEIR THOUGHTFUL INDIE/POP" The Joiners Mag

"KEANE WITH ROCKING GUITARS" The NME

"BIG CHORUSES & SWEEPING MELODIES LIKE SNOW PATROL & COLDPLAY" The Guide

"GREAT SUMMER SOUND" "THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE IT" "LIKELY TO APPEAL TO THE THINKING PUBLIC" Original FM

"SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ON THE PYRAMID STAGE AT GLASTONBURY" BBC Radio

"The four piece southern band produce raw indie/pop melodies stripped down to the core that will grab your heart and soul. From acoustic jangly songs to up beat anthemic epics, these boys offer a diverse repertoire of songs that will grace any stage or cd collection. The final line up was secured in March 2007 and since then have played most relevant venues in the South. Have played The Carling Academy's up and down the country as well as a triumphent gig at the Shepherds Bush Empire. Recreation are quite simply 'Recreation' Indie pop with a rocky edge with vocal similarities with Bono, Neil Diamond & Chris Martin. Big melodic songs with killer guitars.

Scorpion Records has teamed up with Elygen to bring you the next great website for music fans and bands!

BANDARRAY.com

We're people in the industry/scene who understand what musicians and fans want.  We're creating a place where music in the most important thing.
Remember when Myspace was a cool place for band to be discovered?  Now in 2009 it's basically nothing but bands adding bands! Not to mention tons of fans have moved on to facebook because of all the band spam!  Yeah that's right, sorry to tell you kids, but the industry knows your numbers are the result of "friend blasters" and spending day and night doing random add's.  No one is impressed!
So, what will be the site that Facebook defectors and music fans search when they want to hear some music?

Band Array Dot Com

Sign up now, get your band name before someone else steals it!
Fans sign up and get free downloads from the bands!

So why join up to a new site?  It has all the perks of Myspace, BUT, you can also create a store right on your page to sell ALL your merch including digital media!  And the best part is, YOU get paid direct via PayPal.  No middle man to cut into your profits!  One stop for you and your fans!
And Hey, you can always use more exposure right?!?

We'll see ya there....
