July 2008: Upcoming & Independent Music

In the month of July 2008, Overtone is focusing on Upcoming and Independent Music. This means if you’re in a band looking to get noticed, you’ve found a good spot.

The music industry is more about hard work and contacts than having a couple of good songs. Overtone aims squarely at creating a platform for upcoming bands to create a name for themselves. In a word: professionalism.
