Welcome to the all new Sinch Newsletter!

We've been sending this newletter out to our mailing list for over 10 years now, and we finally decided it's time to upgrade to a full-on HTML format. No more boring plain text to make your eyes bleed with boredom!

Let us know what you think! (Unless you don't like it. Then just shut the eff up.) If you don't like it you can still get it in plain text format (links to set your preferences are at the bottom of this email), but seriously, plain text is so 90s. No one cares that you're still using Eudora (or whatever old-school email client it is the computer nerds are still using).

In this issue:

01 // We're working on a new album! And we want you to be a part of it!
02 // New Videos on Sinch TV
03 // Join the Sinch Army
04 // Shop (Buy stuff! If you want!)
05 // Forward this email to a Sinch fan

We're working on a new album!

And we want you to be a part of it!

Donate to Sinch

We are getting ready to start recording a brand new full length album. Since we are doing this independently (i.e., no label), we'll be paying for everything ourselves - recording, mixing, mastering, distribution, etc.

Be a part of Sinch history and help us get this album made!

The more money we raise, the faster we can finish the album and get it released. Any amount is welcome from $10 to $10,000 (or even more if you're super rich!)

For donating as little as $10.00, you'll get the new album (in mp3 format) free of charge the minute it comes out - maybe even before it comes out!

We also have a list of what we think are some pretty cool bonuses for donating more:

Donation Levels

Copper Level - $10.00

You get the new album in mp3 format as soon as it is released.
Your name goes in the credits as a contributor to the album.

Bronze Level - $25.00

You get everything from the Copper level, plus:
You get access to the live stream and recordings from the studio.

Silver Level - $50.00

You get everything from the Copper and Bronze levels, plus:
You get a signed and numbered CD version mailed to you as soon as it's released.

Gold Level - $100.00

You get everything from the Copper, Bronze and Silver levels, plus:
A limited edition T-shirt (probably themed around the new album) that we won't sell or make available anywhere else
A limited edition, signed and numbered poster

Platinum Level - $500.00

You get everything from the Copper, Bronze, Silver and Gold levels, plus:
You get an edited video of the studio sessions that only Platinum donors will get.
We call you personally from the studio or, if you prefer send you an email/letter thanking you for your involvement.

Plutonium Level - $5000.00

You get everything from the Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum levels, plus:
You will be listed as an "executive producer" on the album.

You will be awesome.

New Videos on

Have you heard about Sinch TV? If you're ever looking for Sinch videos (and who isn't these days?) it's definitely the best place to go. We've also had our stuff on YouTube, but recently our good friends over at Warner Music Group decided to strip the audio out of a bunch of our videos. We were like, "Eff that shit," but it doesn't matter anyway. Sinch TV is way better than that dump.

Pre-production 11.15.08

Watch a clip of our recent pre-pro sesh in preparation for recording the new album. More videos like this are on the way!

Bitmap

If the Ocular Noise Machine directed our videos (and it does) this is what it would look like.

Plasma

Another video from the mind of the Ocular Noise Machine. Use as directed.

MTV Cribs Visits the Garage

OK, so this isn't so new, but I still hear from people who just saw it for the first time so if that sounds like you (except that you still haven't seen it) check it out.

Join the Sinch Army

It's like the regular army except it's not completely horrible -- you don't have to wake up at any specific time, and no one will ever tell you to drop and give them 20.

Honestly we haven't done much with this yet. The past couple years have been kinda slow for us so there hasn't been much to do. But with a new album in progress, we're gonna need help getting the word out about it when the time comes.

If you're interested in helping us promote and turn new people on to our music, join the army!

Join Sinch Army Now!

(or later. that's cool too.)

Shop

Nothing new in the store just yet. But we get emails all the time from people asking where they can find our albums.

Answer: right here.

SUBDIVISIONS EP	CLEARING THE CHANNEL	SINCH	PROJECT: BLUEBIRD EP
LIVE CUTS EP	DIATRIBE	THE STRYCHNINE	IMITATING THE SCREEN EP
