Hi everyone! Welcome to The Doorbells!
This past year has been an amazing ride for The Doorbells as many of you may know. The first EP is finished, and the debut is ready for market. It’s titled Want Your Evil. This debut EP is being released on a limited vinyl run ONLY. That means 500 will be made, and after they are gone, that’s it! I am extremely excited about the result of the record and cannot wait to share it with you. This is where you come in.
Rockethub is a venue by which funds are raised to assist in soaring The Doorbells to a greater stage. The funds raised through Rockethub will help pay for the initial vinyl run. If the ‘goal’ is exceeded, any excess will be used towards the first tour and more product for you.
What’s in it for you? The support The Doorbells gains through Rockethub will not only help fund the first EP’s vinyl run, but most importantly, it will assist in showing crowd support, which is most beneficial in marketing The Doorbells towards the ultimate goal of being signed with a record label. So, basically, your assistance not only provides The Doorbells with assistance, but it gives you the opportunity on a short-term basis to receive personal items and/or intimate personal performance from The Doorbells, the value of which in the future will be far beyond what you paid for it.
The Doorbells can see its’ success! The Doorbells knows you want its’ success! Your vinyl will be a one-of-a-kind item. It will be personalized for just you. Each vinyl will be labeled in different colors with a personal signature. No color spot will be in the same place on the vinyl to assure each one is individual. After Rockethub is done, all vinyls will only be signed, but not personalized. If you opt for the personal performance, you can video it yourself and take pictures at will. If you opt for the personal song, Nic B, The Doorbells sole songwriter, will personally work with you on the lyrics.
The Doorbells' Want Your Evil was inspired from numerous events that occurred throughout this past year. It brings in many aspects of daily life, such as love, desire, and being carefree! The artwork comes from a photo Corey Smith had taken which captures the exact feeling The Doorbells aspired to. (www.coreysmithtimetravel.com)
Want Your Evil is the debut that starts it all, and The Doorbells invites you to be a part of it! Your support both outside this venue and through Rockethub, at any level, is appreciated beyond words. Thank you for your following and support!

"1. RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
2. It's an All & More funding mechanism: if I don't reach my financial goal I get to keep what I raise. But if I do reach my goal, I get access to exciting opportunities."
