As the internet has grown, so have the instances of leaking music. Affecting both record labels and the artists themselves, leaks have the ability to not only hamper sales, but create legal headaches for everyone involved. This is where Haulix comes in. Watermarking albums set for press promotion, Haulix is a music service that works to cut down on leaks. Recently, Legendary Kids Press was able to speak with founder Matt Brown about its services, the upcoming relaunch and more.
Before we get started, would you mind describing Haulix to those who might not have heard of the site?
Haulix is a web-based system used by record labels and publicists to push watermarked (fingerprinted) music out to the press before it is released to the public. We minimize the chances of an early leak, which, in turn, improves the opening week’s sales.
Haulix specifically deals with watermarking press copies of albums and new releases. Have you found watermarking releases has cut down on the leaking of albums or increased accountability in the industry?
We have ran several surveys in the past few years and yes, many customers have experienced a large decrease or no leaks at all since using Haulix.

We recently spoke with EverSay vocalist Blake Dawson. The trio, consisting of Dawson, bassist Kyle McDonald and guitarist Gabe Bullard, won Jacksonville’s Battle of the Bands for this summer’s Vans Warped Tour, and we were able to speak about the band’s inspirations, their thoughts on playing Warped and what we have to look forward to from them.
How did you come up with the name “EverSay”, and what genre would you say the band’s music falls under?
After a long day in the studio recording our self-titled EP. We were all very delirious, eating dinner at a local bar & grill and someone said, “That’s the stupidest thing you could ever say.” My wheels immediately started turning. We tweaked the two words into one with the “E” and “S” capitalized and Bob’s your uncle!
Our genres would be considered mostly rock, pop, [and] alternative.
What artists do you feel influence your music the most, and who would you like to tour with in the future?
twenty one pilots are one of our favourites right now. We would love to tour with them one day!

Redlands are a rock band from Denver, Colorado. Coming together in January 2014, the band have steadily been gaining a dedicated fanbase with their infectious and melodic sound. Recently, Legendary Kids Press was able to speak with lead vocalist Ben Lohle about their new EP, Adventurer.
How would you describe Redlands to those who have never listened to the band before?
We’re an all-American rock band from Denver, Colorado. Our style varies, but we have our own sound within that.
What made you decide to pursue music for a living?
I’ve always had a passion for music and I think when I realized you could do it for a living, I was always just interested. When I was in junior high, [going] into high school, my friends would always have bands, so I was able to teach myself a few things and apply [them] to something that would later become Redlands.

State Champs will be premiering “Lose Myself” on Daniel P Carter’s BBC Radio 1 show August 9th. The track is off the band’s upcoming album, Around the World and Back, out October 16th via Pure Noise Records. You can check out the details below.

This past Sunday, Zack Zarrillo announced he was closing down PropertyOfZack. The news came after he shared he was also leaving podcasts Off The Record and Simpler Sound, as well as his job at Jade Tree Records. I’m sure some of you could care less, but if you’re like me, the move has got you thinking, and I thought I would share my thoughts. As I don’t have a personal blog, I feel Legendary Kids Press is as good a place as ever to do so, so feel free to read on if you’re interested.
If you happened to read my interview with Haulix, you’d know that POZ is one of the inspirations behind LKP. I can honestly say that, without POZ, there’s a chance LKP wouldn’t exist, especially in the way it does now. I’ve always been a fan of Zack’s work, whether it be his podcasts, his management or, of course, POZ - especially since this past January’s relaunch - because of a) his work ethic and b) his determination to get out of the music industry what he’s wanted. Most don’t know how to navigate the waters, but Zack’s been able to do so.
