And so, finally, Phenom‘s entire album is out, with the release of “Coloured for this World” yesterday, and “Unbound” earlier this morning.
All that’s left now is that people download the songs, listen to them, discuss/comment/criticise them, in forums, mailing lists, journals, blogs, or wherever you normally voice your thoughts and opinions.
Point others at the site
and encourage them to download the songs as well, and distribute them as far and as wide as possible. They are published under a Creative Commons license, so not only is it completely legal to download and distribute them – you are morally obliged to! 
If you know anyone in the press, point them at the site as well. Stress how important it is that this form of publishing succeeds in two ways – to get the music out to people without the band going broke over it, and (hopefully) that some music publishing firm takes notice, and signs these guys. Everyone wins.
If you are in Bangalore this weekend, show your support by attending their show in Cubbon Park on Saturday, the 26th of February, at 7pm. If you are so inclined, download the lyrics from the site, and sing along. *Nothing* is as encouraging (and noticable and supportive) for a band to find thousands of people singing along with them.
And if you are a band yourself, or just a solo artist – take notice. The world is changing, and guys like Phenom are changing it. If you have not had much success getting yourself published, take heart – things are looking up.
Damn it – where was the Internet when *I* was younger?
