I have learned a lot about my topic, the music Industry. The Music industry is an extremely hard place to start a business, career, or band. To be honest the hardcore, metal core and metal genres are extremely difficult and tedious to get known in. It takes an immense amount of effort to get your name out. I have learned that hard work and perserviernce really pay off, and if you strive hard yourself and your band will benefit from all that work in a great amount. My band has come a long way since Devin and I started it. In 2010 (early 2010) we created Separate the skies, and through many lineup changes style changes and just overall improvements. We have also come along way musically we individually have greatly improved and have become better players. I personally have come a long way with drumming not just with talent and skill but also believing in myself. My abilities have improved and so has my overall attitude in the band I know we can make it if we strive hard and don’t let up on this improvement we have been having. We have many future plans that overall will get us to one of my dreams….Playing warped tour. It honestly would just give me the sense of realization that we have made it and done something with our music. I love passion behind music and stories. So bring my music with passion to other kids is a dream of mine. Some of the things we have been planning are as followed. Where Men Win Glory is planning on recording EP it’s a 6 track EP we have been working on officially for about 2 months now…it will be amazing when it drops. Then this summer we are planning a tour with another band, friends of ours, Deadline for a Critic. We plan on going up the east coast of Florida all the way up to Georgia. We also are playing a show with a National Touring professional band called Decoder; they are on Rise Records that personally would be a sweet record company to get on so we hope to keep in touch with Decoder. We plan on playing many shows and are in the works for playing a festival. We are working slowly but surely. This band has taught me a lot about the music industry and also this Project has taught me to respect music more and hopefully showed my readers some of the hard work being in a hardcore band takes. It really is truly NOT just fun and games it is a difficult profession to start. Where Men Win Glory is on the rise and Devin and I are taking it there….pay attention keep an eye out and remember the name because Where Men Win Glory is going to make it one day May take a lot of work and time but one day it will happen. It is my dream and it is what I want to do with my life. Peace and Love
