According to Adam Hurstfield (Adam H.), last year while I was calling radio stations in mid November, I was asked by a number of radio program directors if NewSchool had a Christmas song. I thought to myself ... WOW ... what a great opportunity for NewSchool. After talking with my partner, Michael Hektoen, we decided to make a Christmas recording. I co-wrote The Sweetest Christmas" with Jerry Wong, A.J. Woodworth (lead vocalist of NewSchool) and Jack Tikkanen. I then produced the track at our recording studio. From there, Michael and I manufactured 150 Radio Promo CDs and expressed mailed them out to radio stations across the country. Then I started working the phones" talking with the program and music directors about adding our song to their play list. Without the help of these radio programmers taking a chance with NewSchool this would have never happened. We also made the song available for paid downloading and gave the proceeds to MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). Within two weeks, our original song The Sweetest Christmas" became the #1 most added in December! Without Program and Music Directors giving us a chance we would be nowhere."
Thanks to the continued support of Radio Programmers three additional songs entitled Back In the Day" (using a re-creation of True" by Spandau Ballet), Misunderstood" and Alright" have each charted across the Canada and helped launch our self titled album distributed by Maximum-Universal Music Group Canada. We also had a top charting video on MuchMusic in heavy rotation. According to Michael Hektoen, Adam H. and I decided to expand NewSchool awareness in the United States, Europe, Australia and other countries by making The Sweetest Christmas" available for free. Our hope is that when new visitors come to the NewSchool site for the free download, that they will take the time to learn about New School, listen to our music and learn more about H http://www.newschoolonline.com/index.cfm?pg=hrecords Records. We are in direct contact with a number of radio stations and have already received airplay commitments from 12 major US cities with more coming in everyday. We also are adding secondary radio markets as well as key internet radio outlets worldwide. Over 25,000 E-Christmas Cards have been sent out across the world inviting the industry and media to download our song. Our goal for 2004 and 2005 is to be signed to a major record label. Our marketing plan includes releasing a new single from our second album in February and to have the full album released in June in connection with a national tour."
