ROKKASHOCKA Volume 1: The best undergorund band in the world!

 


ROKKASHOCKA is a sustainable, non-profit artistic project, closely connected with the historic Italian webzine MUSICAFOLLIA, online since 2002. It develops through editorial initiatives and various compilations in the form of promotional CDs, strictly not intended for sale. The ROKKASHOCKA compilation aims to promote the style, attitude, talent, creativity, and DNA of underground Rock music.


We believe in the return of physical formats, as the compact disc is a tangible, collectible object, released in limited runs and special editions—something to be treasured in one’s personal library. It may seem anachronistic, yet we believe that experiencing music on CD makes it feel more alive, more immersive, and capable of creating an emotional bond that so-called “liquid” music can hardly replicate.


THE MISSION:


The CD compilation is not intended for sale; its sole and exclusive purpose is to promote and develop an initiative that places the creativity of talented artists at its core through an innovative approach, strengthening the most genuine and authentic bond within a community.


The CD will be produced and printed in a limited run of no more than 500 copies. It will be distributed through the DVLGATOR BUREAU international press office and sent to editorial offices, journalists, bloggers, e-writers for magazines, webzines, and fanzines, as well as to presenters at major radio stations and broadcasters in Italy and abroad (a partial list of media partners is provided below). Copies will also be sent to the label managers of our partner record companies and to event promoters and venue managers.


The press office will handle all promotional activities. This includes a highly targeted press campaign for the MUSIC (of any genre), crafted to be effective using marketing strategies, tags, and keywords. Furthermore, text and images will be posted daily on social media with tailored posts, hashtags, and links. This unconventional plan is designed to attract users and enthusiasts and direct them to the songs, which are available for free streaming.


The CD will be produced in a traditional jewel case accompanied by a 4-page booklet. A QR code will direct industry professionals to web pages containing all relevant information, images, and more about the songs and bands featured on the compilation.


The artwork and cover image are created by the renowned graphic design team STELLACLONE DESIGN, led by Remi Real Rock Galiazzo, an exclusive photographer for Rokkashocka known for his work in the music industry and star system.


Where necessary, the corresponding SIAE sticker will be applied to the CD.


Bands and artists who are available to perform live will have the opportunity to play at events, festivals, and showcases, adhering to the non-profit mission of promoting music and the project.
