New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Long John Silver's is offering more than just tasty seafood this Lent season. The nation's largest quick-service seafood restaurant company is now offering — one could say — dinner and a show for its most loyal followers. The company recently launched its own record label, Fish Yeah! Records, and signed the DC-native "surfgaze" band, the
Coral Benders, just in time for the busy, fish fest season of Lent.
In celebration of the new venture, Long John Silver's is today releasing audio coupons for stores nationwide. The coupons can be redeemed by playing one of the ocean-themed songs from the freshman record dropped on #NewMusicFridays on Soundcloud.
"Throughout the Lent season, our fans and followers will be treated not only to delicious and craveable fish offerings, but also a weekly song and audio coupon drop from our house band, the
Coral Benders," said
Stephanie Mattingly, vice president of marketing, Long John Silver's.
New songs from the freshman album, complemented by original artwork, are announced via Twitter, can be heard on Soundcloud each Friday, and will be trailed by a new audio coupon the following week.
"Partnering with the Long John Silver's team to crank out these tunes has been nothing short of a dream come true for us Benders," said Matt Ciferri of
Coral Benders. "Our alignment on various nautical themes has allowed for some truly stellar creative synergies."
Fans can follow @longjohnslvrs for new music, album art, and fish friendly deals each week through April 19.
