PHOENIX, AZ. (Jack Squall Productions/ www.stormwithin.com) -
Storm Within, winner of various
Battle of the Bands' awards in the Valley and nominee for Best Metal Band in Arizona, have gone Supersonic at Sonicbids.com. Increasing the size and options of their Electronic Press Kit, while racing up the Sonicbids Charts. With over 28,000 artists worldwide currently registered to Sonicbids,
Storm Within has reached the No 19 spot on the "Most Viewed EPK" Chart on Sonicbids.
Storm Within has been selected by using the Sonicbids Submissions Process to perform live at music festivals such as the ConneXion International Music Festival, and the Locobazooka Festival.

Sonicbids is a simple alternative to the endless clutter of physical press kits that is exchanged daily between musicians and the people who promote music. Their main product is the Sonicbids Electronic Press Kit (EPK). It's an easy-to-use, web-based graphic interface that contains all the basic information of a musical act such as bio, music, photos, press reviews, a date calendar and more. The EPK can either be emailed to anyone with a click of the mouse or submitted in online promoter accounts through a virtual "Drop Box". The success lies in the fact that the Sonicbids EPK's appeal to both sides of the musical spectrum: the people who make music and the people who promote it. Sonicbids helps musicians cut promotion costs, look professional and increase exposure; and help event promoters by enabling them to take online submissions in minutes and by making their job simpler.
Sonicbids is the most popular online submission tool for Independent and Professional Musicians, Agents and Managers, Club Owners and Festival Directors, Song Competitions and Music Conferences, Music Magazine Editors and Publicists. The rapidly growing size of the Sonicbids network and widening acceptance of their product have helped them quickly become the leading online submission platform for some of the world's best-known music professionals.
"We are extremely excited about the Music Conferences and Festivals that we've been selected to perform at through Sonicbids, and seeing our band on Sonicbids' Most Viewed EPK's Chart is awesome! We first signed up through the Sonicbids 30 day free trial offer, and I honestly don't know how we ever lived without it, we've saved so much time and money by using an Electronic Press Kit. Sonicbids has given us the ability to instantly email our Press Kit to Industry Rep's, Booking Agents, and Festival Directors. Sending our Press Kit in an Electronic Format has generated much more interest in our band than the old school press kit." says Storm Within Frontwoman, Debra Darlene.
Storm Within was recently selected through Sonicbids to Showcase their unique style of female fronted metal at the SXSW Go Girls Invasion Showcase in Austin, TX. Storm Within got a further boost in the fall of 2004, making four of the five cuts in the Battle for Ozzfest Competition, and can be seen in cameos on the reality show airing on MTV. They are also fresh off the heels of their crowd-pleasing performance at the Arizona State Fair following Velvet Revolver's headlining set on Oct. 23rd, and a supporting slot for Drowning Pool at the Marquee Theatre on Nov. 21st, 2004.
