Its a well known fact that all rock/pop songs about football are ****. Well, then I realised that I've been writing **** songs for years, so I put two and two together and got a very bad (!) idea... We recorded a song that we will release as a single (digital, 7" vinyl and CD single) on our own label, with profits split between the Trust and the Stanno Foundation. The vinyl and CD will be special collectors editions.
I ran the song past several people at the club, and the response was pretty positive. We edited out a few lines that were (quite reasonably) deemed a little over the top.
Ideally we'd like to release it for the end of the season, which would work even better if we make the play offs. So I decided - nervously - to post a demo of the track here (I am all too aware of the maulings regularly dished out on Exeweb, so I know what to expect!).
I am also looking for anyone who might be able to help, firstly, with making a video (I was thinking a montage sort of thing); and secondly, someone with some graphic desgin skills who could help with the 7" and CD covers. We want to make these quality collectable items. I know there are some very skilled people on here - I remember the T Shirts Egg produced a couple of years back.
Finally, I had the idea of having a subscriber/pre purchase, in which supporters who pledge to buy the physical versions will be listed on the record cover. However we would have to do this asap, as we need to start pressing the records very soon.
All ideas, suggestions and criticisms welcome (and expected). The song itself owes a more than a little to our obsession with 60s garage (if anyone still knows what that means).
