Dear JP Folks Community:

My band-TheWorkers-was recently approached online by Howard Rosen Promotion Inc., located in Van Nuys, CA.

They offered us a 6-week college radio promo package, costing $2,200. That would involve our pressing an additional 500 copies of our debut CD, pushing the grand total to around $3,000.

They will track airplay garnered for 350 mailed CD's to college radio music directors, and send us weekly stats. They claim to have promoted bands like Coldplay and Killer.

If they're for real, we'd be willing to fork over the cash.

Have any of you ever dealt with this agency?

If so, was your experience a positive or negative one?

We plan to contact various consumer watchdog agencies as well, to log any complaints filed against them.

Brian, please help us out on this one, as you've always done in the past.

Dan/TheWorkers
