Unfortunately, the pre-orders did not cover the costs of the printing of the CDs, and we again had to borrow money to fund the difference in order to get these printed. Streaming numbers so far have been strong, but the revenue from these streams is paid out later down the line and wouldn’t cover the costs of the printing either. This has meant we had a delay in paying for the printing to take place.
Our streams for the new album continue to grow as we have now broken over 33 thousand streams. We still do not have the full data from DistroKid, which covers many other stored but with what we do know it has been performing well so far.
The record-breaking year in 2022 is off the back of year-on-year growth since the new line-up was introduced. We thank everyone who has checked out our website regularly, this helps us to continue to grow our online presence.
YouTube represents the largest chunk of our streams so far, with Spotify being the second most popular place to listen. There have been 78 CD pre-orders so far with 56 digital sales on Bandcamp. This further shows that streaming rather than buying is now firmly the most popular way to consume music for the majority.
We'll be playing a 2 hour set featuring songs from our most recent albums Reforge The Steel and After Extinction.
Streaming is by far the most popular way for music to be heard. To compare with our physical sales, so far there has been 70 copies of the album sold on CD as a pre-order through Bandcamp.
