This blog is meant to be a place for artists in bands to share with their fans the things that are more important to them than the music they play; specifically, charities and causes that are close to their hearts.
The basic idea is very simple: This is a forum for stories, entreaties, news updates, and whatever else from band members.
Fans will get to know what their favorite musicians really care about, and will hopefully begin to think about those things as well that they might not have otherwise. Band members will have a way to share what they care about, and make more of an impact in those areas.
More Important Than Music is about bringing light and hope to people who need it. This is a place of resources and awareness to some of the causes that need your help. MITM is a chance for bands to let you in on the secret that there is something more important than the music. These are the stories, thoughts and inspirations behind the melodies and lyrics.
Please help us in fighting poverty, depression, sickness, and whatever else that’s out there that makes this world a terrible place.

More Important Than Music…. so good to find a place that let’s bands and artists share what really is more important.
Music, a lot of the time, is used for the distraction of what many of us don’t want to face. No one is going to change big problems in a day, but to have the ability to take the time to just do a little is what I think we are all asking.
I meet so many bands that have personal connections to issues we can make a differnce in. We all hold the parts that make the puzzle fit.

This is an amazing idea! Our record label SK records are acitvly involved in preventing youth suicide in our local area…They run a local drop in centre and provide training for people that need a bit of help getting started in the workforce…together with To Write Love On Her Arms we will be having a Stop The Bleeding show in march here in brisbane, australia.
keep in touch

How refreshing…
This is what the world should be aiming for.
A light that embeds a worthy cause
To those in need, to those without.
Persist this “better place” we urge to achieve
And once we smile, we’ll smile with a glistening glare.
I support you entirely
