Who are overplay?
Overplay was created in
May 2003 by a small, but
dedicated, group of music
lovers. And the fact is,
there's a multitude of exciting,
fresh and fascinating musicians
out there to love. However,
because they are unsigned,
the vast majority of them
are going unseen and unheard.
But, we wondered, how can
we help these very talented
people get the recognition
and adulation they deserve?
So overplay was born.
We want to provide a platform
for unsigned artists and
give them as much help and
direction as we can. It
doesn't matter if they're
a serious career-musician
looking for a record deal,
or if they're taking their
first steps into music.
We're here to bridge the
gap between the wider world
and the band in the garage.
Or the MC in the bedroom.
Or the singer-songwriter
in the shed with a guitar.
It's all good. overplay
is here to help all artists
from all genres.

Why do so many people
visit overplay
As well as the growing
number of bands overplay
sites and the expanding
industry directory, there
are many features to interest,
entertain and keep new
and old visitors coming
back for more. We're pleased
to say that we have an
enthusiastic core of regular
visitors; consisting mainly
of bands, fans and people
from across the music
industry.
On top of that, overplay
is really easy to find
on the internet with a
good presence in the search
engines. We are listed
in many of the top search
engines where we have
sponsored links in Google,
Yahoo, MSN, Alta Vista
and Infoseek.
We are also constantly
building new industry
relationships, sometimes
with explosive results.
Most recently, we've collaborated
with giant computer game
publishers, Empire Interactive,
after they approached
overplay to run a competition
looking for unsigned bands
to soundtrack their latest
playstation/PC/Xbox racing
game FLATOUT - a super-real
smash-'em-up spectacular
that's due to be sold
across Europe and North
America in September.
In the end 12 unsigned
tracks from overplay will
appear on the game and
a load of other promotional
exposure.
Other
competitions we have sponsored
- Amstore, Reach 2004,
International Songwriting
Competition,
We will continue to sponsor
and hold a number of competitions
in the future.
Also overplay recently
beaten hundreds of websites
to be chosen as an associate
sponsor of infomat. That's
alongside other companies
such as HMV, EMI, BT,
Tower Records, NME, The
Football Association.
Mmm, not bad company,
I'm sure you'll agree.
This association will
put overplay's name in
front of 700 colleges
and universities across
the UK. Of course, this
is where many, many bands
are formed. And if these
students know about overplay,
the chances are they'll
want to be a part of it.

What we do outside the
net
Of course, people don't
just look at the internet
all day. That's why we're
making strenuous efforts
to promote overplay off-line
by increasing our advertising
in many local and national
music publications. Overplay
also holds our own showcase
events called 'Overplay
Nights'. IIn our continuing
mission to get unsigned
bands recognised every
couple of months we host
an overplay night. These
events showcase up to
four overplay bands and
we make sure to invite
the overplay community,
fans and music industry
representatives to be
entertained and enlightened.
Overplay nights have proved
to be a huge success so
far, our aim is to have
more of these events in
other cities right across
the UK. After all, one
of the best ways to get
new artists seen and heard
is to get them playing.
We are open to anyone
company who would like
to sponsor one of these
nights and gain more exposure
so please get in touch.
