Letter From Elite Soccer

Dear Scrappy Music and Apparel Co.,

I just want to thank you for putting together our Elite Soccer order for our fall program t-shirts. I know it was a very large order, and a little bit complicated at times, and I really appreciate your flexibility in working with us and ensuring the accuracy of the order and making sure we received them on time.

We have worked with many other vendors in the past and this was by far one of the best experiences we have had with our t-shirt order. It was great to work with all of your friendly and helpful staff, your prompt responses to our questions are greatly appreciated.

Your design team was awesome, all of our staff and our kids agree that this is the best shirts we have had yet! I really appreciate them accommodating all of our sometimes picky requests, and being able to turn our very simple idea into something that looks phenomenal. Thank you for the superb recommendation for t-shirt material, we have gotten numerous compliments on this, and all of the kids and parents love them.

It is great to finally find a company that is fast, friendly, and provides a great product. And to get them for a super cheap price is an outstanding bonus!

Thanks again for all of your time and effort, Elite Soccer looks forward to working with you on many more orders in the future!

Sincerely,

Kevin Love
Elite Soccer Director of Operations

Put Your Best Foot Forward

Put Your Best Foot Forward

When it comes to showcasing your talent, you only get one chance at a first impression. That being said, you want to make that first impression count, and that means your best songs 1st, with at least a mix down (and if possible mastered), on a professional looking CD, not a copy.

Think about it, anyone you give your music to that’s worth his/her salt, is going to be receiving possibly hundreds of cd’s a week. I can tell you right now, the majority of them are thrown out on looks alone. Another big bunch of them are tossed out on the basis of poor sound quality. the few that actually get listened to are the professional looking, and sounding ones. However, if they don’t like the feel of that first song they might not even listen to the second, let alone the third.

It’s also good to know the people you are submitting your music to.
Be sure to customize your demo to what they might be looking for. Do your research. Don’t just guess. Find out who the just signed, what songs the just released, what does their website say and promote. The more research the better your chances so no slacking. You’ll only get out of it what you put in.

Lastly, if you can include professional bio and pictures, it will only help your cause. Remember, the more it looks as though you are a professional businessman or women, and have that buisness together, the more likely they are to lend you their professional ear.

Scrappy Music supports independent music.

It's Still Good To Be Original

It's Still Good To Be Original

The industry is not full of copycats. Contrary to popular belief, record labels and A&R’s are not looking for anybody that sounds like anybody else. Originality is still what sells. It is still in high demand from us, the consumer, therefore, to generate maximum sales, you wanna sell what your customer wants.

Now, that being said, what you will hear is that someone has the same feel or flavor of someone else. “He kinda sounds like Stevie Wonder.” might be heard, and out of context, this might seem like that person is interested because he sounds like mr. Wonder. However, this is simply a complement and an attempt by a person to explain the feeling or style of an artist, and NOT an actual comparison.

Bottom line is this, do your art, from your heart. Don’t be afraid to take chances with your art and do the original things that come into your head. All the greats have done just that, honed their craft, trusted themselves, believed in themselves, and truely kept it original.
Don’t ever stop, Power to you!

Big Shout To Rational Choas

When I was younger, back before motherhood, my friends and I used to go to various rock and punk shoes at the local clubs. Usually every weekend you could find us at the Showcase checking out one of our favorite independent and/or local bands. I have such an extensive collection of band t-shirts that it’s almost insane. Sometimes I’d get people asking me where I got a certain shirt, or who the band was because most of them are independent artists and bands that had their shirts printed up themselves. Having shirts made up is a great way to promote your band. It gets people curious, too. Wearing them is a great way to show your support for your favorite bands, too. If you are an independent musician or a promoter or manager for an independent musician or band, you should consider how effective t-shirts and hoodies can be to your success. Scrappy Music will print shirts up for $3.95 per shirt, and you in turn can sell them at your shows, make some money and get exposure for your band. They also print girls tees, sweatshirts and hoodies. In my opinion, a person can NEVER have too many band t-shirts or hoodies! Anyway if you are interested in gaining some exposure for your band, Scrappy Music invites you to give us a call and get yourself some t-shirts printed up. Scrappy Music not only offers an exceptional quality merchandise at a completely affordable price, but they can also create a logo for you if you don’t already have one. Scrappy Music has helped thousands of bands all over the world get their name out by supplying them with band shirts and an affordable price that they can sell to their fans.

I have admiration for the talented musicians of today’s music. It drives me crazy when I watch television shows with a band and the cameras rarely focus on the band! I could spend hours watching the band and admiring them as they make music. Do you ever watch Dancing With the Stars? The band on that show is amazing. They have so many talented musicians and I rarely get a glimpse of them. I would love to find out how each of them found their way on the show. Did they start out in a garage band? Were they in the marching band at their high school? Independent musicians often find themselves struggling to be “discovered”. They look for ways to showcase their talent and often find themselves performing in front of uncaring crowds. They go on with the hope that one day they will be discovered. Scrappy Music understands. Scrappy Music – Home of the $3.95 Band Shirt understands the need for promoting independent music. Musicians have discovered that they can promote their band and music with custom tshirts, girl tees, hoodies, and sweatshirts from Scrappy Music.

Affordable promotional products enable them to sell products that get their name out before the public. Scrappy Music is helping independent musicians promote their music.

Are you a member of any independent singing group like bands? How do you promote your music?

There are a lot of up and coming bands out there that are awesome, great music, great talent, fresh talent — but it is so hard for them to break into the music industry these days. There is also the added issue of money, without the backing of a big wig record deal to pay the way in the early days, bands can struggle to promote themselves via methods shown to have worked well over the years for others. Selling apparel such as band t shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts is one way that independent artists can get their name more out there and please their fans, but the prices can be astronomical — more than most could afford.

That’s where Scrappy Music come in, they are dedicated to keeping their costs down to make sure their products are as accessible as possible. They sell high quality apparel, with your bands logo and name emblazoned on it for all the fans to proudly wear for under $4 each!

Send Us Your Press Release

Listen, we what to know who you are, so let me tell you first who we are. Scrappy Music and Apparel is owned and operated by Grant Kevins (Atlanta) and Chris Berena (Chicago). We started this company back in 2005 by offering independent musicians screen printed t shirts for $3.95 and promoting their music on our online music player dubbed Scrappy Radio. We slaved over a 6 head manual press for 2 1/2 years until the business was to much to handle. Naturally, we had to expand.
Now we have facilities in Atlanta Georgia and Salt Lake City. We chose Salt Lake City because shipping from Atlanta took 6 days out to California and it was becoming a huge obstacle. We also have been endorsed by Tultex Apparel, which is comparable to American Apparel. This means when you order shirts from Scrappy Music and Apparel, you will be getting a high quality fashion fit t shirt instead of a crappy Gildan t shirt.
Scrappy Music and Apparel started out from day 1 with the lowest prices in the United States and we would like to think we still hold the title.

Send us a Press Release about your band, business, clothing line, etc. and we will promote you on our site.
