Solid spins on WZPL (Indy) and WRZX (Alt). Sold-Out 7/1 Concert @ Birdy’s Live
This is a success story that A&R’s should be looking for.
1) an unsigned band services song to radio
2) radio station likes song therefore spins song
3) consumers go to store and buy record.
Hence, this is a solid radio/retail story. Where are the A&Rs?
