TeeDee-Hear and Wear: Reviving Bands and their Music

Torrents, piracy, e-radio and free digital media are proliferating all over the internet. True and devastating. Its creators made the lives of music-lovers easy, convenient and penny-wise but on the contrary, it's making the lives of music creators hard to handle. In the context of a third-world country's music scene, passing on a CD you love to another friend who might also discover and love it may seem like the most logical action.

"Music is now ill in Cebu." says Sonic Boom Music Producer and famous band manager, Alex "Phat Boy" Lim during the TeeDee Press Conference held at the Outpost Restobar last July 17, 2010. He asserted that truly, everything changes-even music and perhaps, there will come a day that nobody will buy original albums. "It's not shocking to know some countries having no music albums sold. Our country will somehow be one of them but that is not today. We all should rely on the progress of time on when to adapt the new trend of music playing."

Everyone knows the fact that it isn't indicative of how the audience value artists. The audience may have downloaded a band's music online but this doesn't mean that they don't like the band. They love it but they show it in a smart and stingy way.

So much goes into preparing an album. Any band dreams to have one but with the birth of portable music players and e-music downloads, singles market is difficult to revive. Because of this, unlike before, one no longer needs to plenty of albums to have a copy of the songs of more than one artist. One can just download and burn a compact disk- a stiff competition now for singles and original albums. Hence, TeeDee - Hear and Wear.


Sonic Boom comes up with a new avenue for bands who want to have albums. Not just plain albums- albums that will 'click'. As remembered, last summer, Sonic Boom officially announced that they are now a music and label company.

As for Sonic Boom, TeeDee is the solution of the predicament of Cebu's Music Industry. The name says it all: TeeDee. A t-shirt with a CD. The philosophy behind the TeeDee is simple: More bang for your buck.

TeeDee has a lot of good things to give effect in the Music Industry. It is good because it introduces a band in a cost effective way. Moreover, it's a way of promoting two companies in one product.
