Dead Root Revival Releasing Live Album on Bandcamp Friday (October 4th)!!!


It's Bandcamp Friday this week!

Purchasing your music on Bandcamp is the best way you can support independent artists in the digital realm. For example, the $12 purchase of a digital copy of DRR's album "The Controller's Exam" is roughly equivalent to the royalty payment from 5000 Spotify streams.

On Bandcamp Friday, it's even better because the site waives all of their processing fees, and directs 100% of earnings to the artists, which also makes it a great time to pick up physical merch like vinyl, CDs, and t-shirts. 

For music fans, Bandcamp is a great music discovery tool, and you can stream your purchased music and create playlists using the Bandcamp app. It's a fun way to share music as well. My brother and I often send albums to each other(there is a 'send as gift' option when purchasing) on Bandcamp Fridays, or for birthday or Christmas gifts. 

I'm a big fan of this site. It's really one of the shining lights in a music industry that often seems increasingly bleak for artists.


To celebrate Bandcamp Friday, Dead Root Revival are releasing a live album, available exclusively on the site.

*** Savage Song Supporters: This album has already been added to your collections! Learn more about becoming a Savage Song Supporter(for as little as $5/month)here: https://tomsavage.bandcamp.com/song-supporter ***






On March 9th, 2024, Dead Root Revival celebrated the release of their album "The Controller's Exam" with a concert at The Broom Factory in Kingston, Ontario. The band performed the album in its entirety then came back for a second set of epic jams.

This amazing two hour concert event was captured by sound tech Geoff Chown for your listening enjoyment!

Swing by https://deadrootrevival.bandcamp.com on Friday, October 4th to check it out.

Please purchase, download, stream, and share the news!

Rock and Roll,

6 Months Since the Release of "The Controller's Exam" + Concert at the RCHA in Kingston!

 Hello Friends!  


It has been six months since the release of our debut studio album, The Controller's Exam...

Time flies when you're rockin' and rollin'!



We are incredibly proud of this record, and it has been fun travelling around Ontario and performing the songs for fans new and old.

We are super-appreciative of the support from our fans! This project, for a DIY band like ourselves, was a big undertaking....the trip to Athens, Georgia to record with David Barbe...recording and mixing to analog tape...and then releasing the album on double vinyl.

It was not cheap!!!

No record label, no FACTOR, no Canada Council or grants of any kind. Only you guys!

I am so pleased to announce that we have recouped 70% of our expenses through digital, CD, and vinyl sales of the album.

We even made $5.32 from Spotify! 😄

Alas, the journey continues...still 30% to go...and we are doing our best to spread this music around to new listeners, and to introduce new people to the Dead Root Revival concert experience. But we don't have the music industry machinery behind us. It is vital that YOU continue to spread the word about DRR. It is imperative that YOU buy tickets to our shows...and bring a friend or two.

This is how we get the word out, and this is how DRR can continue to bring you our own unique brand of original retro rock/blues/prog rock/roots rock!



Our next concert is in Kingston on Saturday, September 21st at the RCHA Club. It's actually our first full (2-hour rock show) concert in Kingston since our album release at the Broom Factory this past March.

Buy a ticketBring a friend. It's going to be incredible!

Let's ROCK!!
Tom
