Want to Play Canadian Music Week?

Yes, it’s true that about 700 bands (really!) play Canadian Music Week each March, which means competition is fierce. At the same time, though, it’s one of the best occasions to show off your stuff to radio, video, web and record company people.  It’s worth the hassle.  Really.

To help new bands along, a new initiative called The Road to CMW has been launched.  Read all about it.
