There Is Hope

We are excited to announce that our newest Charity Release “The Christmas Gift” was released yesterday through our new charity imprint label tih records. “The Christmas Gift” is not your traditional Holiday release in fact many of the songs are have nothing to do with Christmas or the Holidays rather songs from the heart.

So you might ask yourself what is the purpose of this release called “The Christmas Gift” if it’s not an album filled with holiday tracks.

“The Christmas Gift” is an album of songs donated by 14 bands and or solo artists to help raise money for the homeless and displaced families. As many as 3.5 million Americans are homeless each year. Of these, more than 1 million are children and on any given night, more than 300,000 children are homeless and these stats only reflect homelessness in America.

Where does the money go for this release? We are donating all proceeds to Habitat For Humanity via Music for Relief an organization set up by musicians and helping those in need.

Where can I purchase this release? There Is Hope Records Shop - http://thereishoperecords.bandcamp.com/

How Can I help? 1. Post the link of “The Christmas Gift” on your page bulletins and blogs to help spread the word. 2. Donate food and blankets and other essential needs to your local church, the Salvation Army and so on. 3. You can donate money or become a volunteer in your community.

We thank you for taking time out of your busy day to help anyway you can this holiday season. All the best, Nick Katona

Melodic Revolution Records launches imprint charity label

tih Records (There Is Hope Records)

Is a newly formed charity imprint label by Melodic Revolution Records to help raise awareness and money for those in need like the victims of Haiti, The Gulf Disaster and the Homeless in our country and around the world. All proceeds from our releases go to charity via Music For Relief, Habitat for Humanity and other organizations.

We know that we alone cannot make a difference but it is our hope that the work we do bringing talented musicians together for the greater good of mankind can somehow be just one more tool in fighting the good fight.

We would like to thank all the wonderful and talented musicians for donating their time and music to our projects, it is only because of them that we can do what we do.

Help Fight Piracy

Our releases are available world wide through many of our bands websites as well as our shop, CD Baby, Amazon, iTunes, and Mindawn. Please do not purchase music from a site that is not approved by us.

We just released the new ifsounds CD Apeirophobia yesterday and it is already available for illegal downloads on half a dozen sites around the world like sites we have found in Russia for example. These are not file sharing sites but sites that make money selling other peoples music illegally from international bands like Def Leppard to independent bands like ours.

Remember when you purchase from an unauthorized site you are lining the pockets of thieves and you don't know if you will even get the download and if you do it may contain a virus and even worse you will not be getting the true quality product that you intended on getting....

Thank you for your support in Fighting Piracy.

Do not purchase from these sites they are not authorized by us. united-metal.ru/ rutracker.org/ musicmetal.net/ sharedmusic.net good-music.kiev.ua/

Christmas Is A Time For Giving

Yes it’s that time of the year, the smell of wood burning in the fireplace, decorations adorning all the homes across our great land. The malls are bustling with those buying gifts for family and friends. It’s a time of the year where we feel everything is right with our lives and hope is everywhere we turn. However, nothing is farther than the truth; we have all felt the crunch from the most recent recession. It has also been rough for people all around the globe with so many tragedies from floods to earthquakes. Many of us reached deep into our pockets to help one another in some way this year. That may be good for many of us as we feel we have done our part, but not for me.

Melodic Revolution Records has always been there promoting the underdog the up and coming musician or band but somehow that does not seem to be enough. We have released a couple of charity release to do our part, and we are about to embark on this idea one more time. Yes Christmas is just around the corner and it is the season for giving, so I have a gift for all of you, one that will bring joy not only to your heart but those who need it the most. Let’s give to those who are less fortunate than ourselves, those who have lost their jobs and homes…the homeless.

Start a food drive, donate some toys, clothes or even a blanket. We will do our part by releasing an album of music donated by musicians from around the world. If you’re a musician and would like to be part of this release please feel free to contact us for more information. All proceeds will go to Charity.

Here is a link to many organizations that could use our help, pick one that you like and do what you can;
