Introduction

This is the place to come for Cringe.com/pilation press releases, photos, band one sheets, contact information and/or other material common to standard press kits. We hope this "online press kit" approach will prove useful to not only the press, but also the bands, labels and fans.

Cringe.com/pilation v1.0, v2.0, v3.0 and v4.0 are available in the Cringe.com Store!

Submission forms for the fifth Cringe.com/pilation CD are now available:

CRINGE.COM RELEASE SHOW AND HALLOWEEN PARTY

It's finally done and here - Cringe.com/pilation Volume IV. The truth is I think this release show is probably more of a release for the people involved in making it than the CD itself. Between band break-ups, music conferences, artwork changes, reproduction permission waivers and general indecision, this CD took a lot of time to finally get out.

The Cringe.com/pilation CD series was started in 2001 to help expose bands and fans to each other. There was an open call for submissions to Volume IV. Seven local music activists helped select the tracks:

Cringe.com is also celebrating a few anniversaries and milestones over the next several months. This October show marks 10 years since Cringe was conceived. Back in 1994, in response to a few local best of polls and music awards, we created a poll where anyone could nominate anyone for any category they wanted to make up. Subscribers and readers of our Live Shows calendar were asked to submit their votes and reviews. Those submissions were compiled and put to paper and email in January 1995 as the first issue of Cringe.

In commemoration, if you help us celebrate our birthday, we'll help you celebrate yours. Anyone with a birthday in October gets a copy of one of the Cringe.com/pilation CDs free with paid admission to the October 9 show. And don't feel slighted if your birthday isn't in October. We plan to host one of these birthday shows every month over the next year, so everyone should be eligible for a nice little present from Cringe eventually.

Little known useless fact: Cringe was almost called "The Joel Poll" because some girl liked it better than Cringe. But even I'm not that persistently cheesy and egocentric. We did still subtitle the first issue "The Joel Poll" though.

Funds raised at this and other support shows go toward paying for this and future Cringe.com/pilation volumes. Like all previous volumes, we hold at least one support show for the compilation before it comes out. While there is a slight chance we'll actually have the CDs for this show, we're not depending on it.

The official release show is scheduled for Saturday, October 30 at Little Brother's. Other support shows and birthday parties will be held throughout the coming months. We'll have more details as those shows are solidified.

CRINGE.COM COMPILATION V4.0 SELECTIONS

The final 20 songs for Cringe.com/pilation volume 4 have been selected:

The following consultants helped rank and select songs:

66 of the 72 bands (127 songs) received high marks from at least one of the consultants. Yep, that means the decisions were quite difficult and were not taken lightly.

I'll be in touch with all the bands that submitted soon. In short, if you are one of the bands selected and have broken up or have an issue with being on the comp, please contact me as soon as possible. Otherwise the bands selected should start working on getting a photo and any song or band information updates to me. Also, traditionally the artwork and/or layout for the compilations is done in part by a band on the comp. If you or your band would like to be involved in the artwork or layout for the compilation, let me know.

CRINGE.COM COMPILATION V4.0 SUBMISSIONS LIST

We had 72 bands submit a total of 127 songs for Cringe.com/pilation volume 4. The submissions should be in the hands of the various consultants this week if they aren't already. We hope to announce our final selections by the end of March.

ABOUT THE COMPILATION SERIES

Each compilation in this series aims to expose local and regional bands and fans to each other.

Cringe.com released the first volume of its Cringe.com/pilation series on September 29, 2001. Volume 2.0 was released May 17, 2002. Both CDs are currently available at http://store.cringe.com/, Used Kid's Records, Magnolia Thunderpussy and through the bands on each CD.

We here at Cringe.com lovingly, but with tongue firmly in cheek, refer to "cringe" as the ever elusive Columbus sound (Seattle already took "grunge"), going so far as to adopt "The Columbus Sound" as a slogan on volume 1 and the entire site. Any interpretation of this slogan should be taken with a grain of salt and a couple aspirin.

Look for further information, links and online press kits at http://www.cringe.com/pilation/ as future shows approach and details are ironed out.
