Sound Rink is a ticket company dedicated to bringing together bands and their fans through unique VIP experiences. Having worked with the likes of The Word Alive, Silverstein and State Champs, Sound Rink has grown exponentially over the last year, and Legendary Kids Press was recently able to speak with CEO Cody DeLong about the company, the VIP ticket business and future plans.
How did the idea for Sound Rink come about?
Sound Rink came out of our own need for a VIP ticketing company. My partners Scott Lee and Jason Mageau are both mangers of bands and they were unhappy with all of the companies that were doing the same thing. I was an agent at the time and noticed the same issues. I’ve always been an entrepreneur, so I just naturally knew I wanted to start something.
What makes Sound Rink different from other sites that offer VIP packages?
We try to be more creative than other companies, provide more tools for artists and offer better customer service to the buyers. We really try to offer the best service possible on both ends of our business. It has helped us stand out amongst all the other companies. I feel like if we do a great job in servicing our artists and the fans then our service will speak for itself. We are constantly creating new tools for our artists backend to view says and analytics.
On the fan side of things, we are trying to make our site really easy to use, as well as making it accessible on all platforms.

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.

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.
