Amp Camp Rides Ipod Wave

Independent music reaches new high

INDEPENDENT BAND SELLS 70,000 CDs THROUGH WEB SITE

Amp Camp, an urban R&B/Hip Hop band from Atlanta, GA, is about to turn a new page in the history of non-mainstream music marketing. Their current CD "The Arrival" is expected to ship it's 70,000th unit through an independently promoted web site this month. The album contains 16 tracks of raw and candid hip-hop. Amp Camp is comprised of
three professional talented visionaries, Jonathan "G-Lover" Glover, Kimmeth "De'Kim" Harden and Ariel Glover. Each member of the group brings an essential creative musical component that is significant to the groups overall existence. Furthermore, the band members have teamed up as an independent music production company and record label. AtlantaMusicProduction.com is their cyber home and 70,000 copies of "The Arrival" have all been sold through the web site.

"We specialize in hip hop/ R&B, pop, inspirational and Jazz music," Ariel Glover, co-founder and CEO of the company says. "Our distinction in this music industry is that we possess a very professional unique blend of hip hop, R&B, jazz and pop that connects the modern new school styles with the old school styles. Today's new school is very beat oriented and that's great. However, the old school was more musical and melody inclined, and that was great for the time. Atlanta Music Production has a clear and well defined understanding of both musical eras, and we've devised a very creative method of combining both the new and the old school into our own unique style."

Apart from taking good care of everyday business, Ariel devotes
much of his creative manpower to Amp Camp, probably the most
successful indie band in terms of online sales. Along with his
brother Jonathan and cousin Kimmeth, he has come up with a
dynamic creative style, which all of the band members believe
"is positioned to set the musical standard of the future." They
are predicted by many to lead the next generation music greats.

"The music industry has a lot of good songs but, it's lacking
great songs, songs that are timeless, songs that reach across
social, ethnic, culture and economic barriers that speaks to the
hearts of men, women, and children around the world," Ariel
says. "When Ray Charles did "Georgia On My Mind" and his
rendition of "America The Beautiful" those songs were timeless,
those songs were great. When Marvin Gaye song "What's Goin On"
when thousands of American young men were dying in Vietnam for a
causes that they did not clearly understand at the time, and the
social desperity in America was still at a all time high, that
song was timeless, that song was great. We will bring back the
greatness to the music."
