OPEN YOUR EYES RECORDS AND WHAT.CD COLLABORATE FOR EXCLUSIVE PRE-RELEASES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Open Your Eyes Records and What.cd are collaborating to revolutionize the industry landscape by making it clear that p2p technology and record labels can work hand-in-hand to accomplish their ultimate goals: getting artists heard and growing their fan bases.

This collaboration gives members of the What.cd community the benefit and privilege of being first to get all albums that have been and will be released by Open Your Eyes Records. In recognition of the attraction of having a head-up on the media and mainstream, Open Your Eyes Records and What.cd are catering to the p2p community by getting all new releases, artist news and updates to the file sharing community before it is accessible to the general public.

Open Your Eyes Records is a company built by musicians, for musicians. It strives to make their artists everything they should be to the public and themselves, without taking a big piece of the cake. This is contrary to the philosophy of many of the current independent labels and all of the major label juggernauts because Open Your Eyes Record has a unique vision. Open Your Eyes Records is a launch pad for the nation’s next big acts, and a starting point towards greatness. In the collaboration with What.cd, Open Your Eyes Records is recognizing the need to embrace the new possibilities of information exchange of the Internet to fulfill this mission.

Open Your Eyes Records has recently signed a new band, "I Call Fives," hailing from Southern New Jersey. The band's debut album, "First Things First" will be released to the public these days, but the What.CD community will be getting this album exclusively today.

Open Your Eyes Records first signing was Four Year Strong who released their debut CD "It's Our Time" in 2005 on a fledgling label with a single employee. Since this time, Four Year Strong has gone on to sign with Decaydance Records, home of Gym Class Hereos, Cobra Starship, and Panic! At the Disco.
