Hello Dagger DIY CD Packaging!

We love seeing bands and musicians transform wewow’s eco-friendly CD packaging into unique, handmade packaging for their promo and demo CDs.

The team at wewow HQ were recently WOWED by Sheffield-based band, Hello Dagger’s DIY creation! The talented screamo band, who are big supporters of the DIY scene, used 100% recycled, windowed WowWallets to create eye-catching, handmade packaging for their vinyl-look CD. Each package was a unique creation and we loved the personal touch that the band added to each of the eco-friendly CD packages!

DIY Promo CD Packaging

Packaging a promo CD can be a challenging task when you’re working to a tight budget.  High-quality, original and affordable CD packaging for short-run promo CD’s is hard to come by.  This has led to a growing trend towards ‘Do It Yourself’ CD packaging.  The results are creative, resourceful and highly original.

 

However, the task of creating your promo CD packaging is no easy feat and buying packaging materials to make up yourself can actually end up costing a great deal more than you anticipated.  Wewow have worked hard to come up with a solution to make it easy for bands and artists to create their own CD packaging and the result is an easy to use DIY package with endless scope for creativity.  Best of all, wewow’s DIY package is eco-friendly!

 

 

DIY promo CD packaging can now be ordered online at http://www.weeco.co.uk/diy-cd-packaging

 

You will receive everything you need to package the high-quality printed & duplicated CD’s produced by wewow and the results are guaranteed to WOW your fans!  We’d love to see your creations so please send us a quick snap of your finished package and we may even feature it on the wewow blog!

Alive Battle of the Bands 2010 – Sponsored by wewow.co.uk

 

Four talented bands clashed on Tuesday evening as they fought for their chance to play to the crowds at Kirklees Festival in the Park on Sunday 18^th July.  As official sponsors of ‘Alive Battle the Bands 2010,’ we sent wewow’s very own Oliver Mountain down to The Little Buddha Bar in Huddersfield to check out the talent and get the inside scoop on all the action;

“An excited buzz filled the air in The Little Buddha Bar on Tuesday evening as the crowd gathered to watch four up-and-coming bands battle it out for a chance to play in front of huge crowds at the Kirklees Festival in the Park this Sunday.  Two bands have already progressed from Monday’s heat and two more bands will progress from tonight’s acts.

The night kicked off with young Emo/Punky looking band going by the name of Area 67. Sounding reasonably rehearsed in parts Area 67 got off to a good start but nerves soon hit and, struck by a technical fault, the young talent struggled to keep one of their slower tracks together.  Nevertheless, high marks were in order for performance, thanks to thrilling solos by the lead guitarist who confidently rocked out with his guitar around the back of his head and whilst sliding on his knees into the crowd.  If this band doesn’t make it through this year, they’ll be straight back into the rehearsal room.

Area 67 were followed by three talented brothers, Fletch, Chris and Dan, also known as Hand Made Hands.  Fresh from recording their album the brothers gave a highly-charged performance, winning the approval of both the crowd and judges.  Their sound was crisp and tight and reflected their musical influences, which they say include The Eels and Super Furry Animals, whilst the band joked of being referred to as the next Hanson.

Next up were three piece band The EGBGs; who gave a gutsy performance, resembling a young Luke of the Kooks.  Their tracks were strong, with echos of Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian and 1990’s Brit pop, and the catchy chorus of ‘Supermarchet’ was a deffinate crowd pleaser.

The battle was brought to a close by The Full Girth Explosion, who ended the night on a high with an up-beat and engaging set.  The four piece, Huddersfield-based band let their experience show as they gave a polished performance which went onto win them a place in the Festival in the Park line up.  ‘Gangster GTI’ went down particularly well with the crowd, who we’re urged to move forward and get involved.

 

Hand Made Hands’ energetic set grabbed them the remaining place in Festival’s line up, where they will join; The Tabbs, Champagne for Enemies and The Full Girth Explosion.  Congratulations guys!”
