"This Is Where It Begins..."
Aderrick
Aderrick, tagged as "uniquely creative, a cross between Prince and Nine Inch Nails" describes himself and his music best. "The best performers make us feel the music."
"This Is Where It BeginsÉ" is the perfect album for listening to before or after the club or an inspiring night out. Tracks like; "Where It Begins" sounds like an effort of tight, guitar-driven rock. "What You Want" and "Dry Dance" have cool drumbeats to create engaging dance tracks. At this point you know it's time to get up and dance. "One Of Them" makes naughty sentiments even naughtier and bondage even sexier.
Baring Aderrick's mellower side are, "Say You Love Me", "Apart" and "Something Better". Truly highlighting his vocals and talent as a lyricist.
"The music is a fusion of rock and pop, with an edge to it;
It's what your body has been waiting for."
Aderrick has been featured on Expose' TV show and Regional Music Underground (Chicago Public access music programs) and continues to perform at various venues.
Aderrick's album, "This Is Where It BeginsÉ" can be purchased at CD Baby.com, Tower Records / Schaumburg, IL and Coconuts / F.Y.E. Chicago land locations.

Attention: Labels, songwriters and musicians!
Check out the Bandit A&R Newsletter at www.banditnewsletter.com. For a free sample copy and info, send a blank email to bandit.18@aweber.com. Here is just ONE example of numerous listings that appear in Bandit A&R Newsletter: FALL RECORDS is an independent record label based inMichigan, creating a unique roster featuring indie, rock, emo, punk, and so on. Owner Chris Fredericks would like to find more good bands for upcoming releases and the label's "split//series". If you'd like to send your indie rock, he has some useful advice which applies to all artists submitting demos: " Send a CD or tape, band picture and bio, and history of touring and releases. Lyrics would also be a good idea. Put your CD in a jewel case inside a padded envelope - it's very annoying to receive a broken CD. Don't send anything that needs to be signed for, or overnight or express mail, it won't be listened to any faster! If your CD is shrink wrapped, unwrap it and don't tape up your package like Fort Knox. DO NOT email to ask what we think. If we are interested or want more information, we will contact you. We do not have time to email every band with a review. DO NOT SEND us MP3's or links to MP3's - we do not have time to "check out" your cool band and your email will just be deleted!!"
