The Trustkill Fanclub
Trustkill Records has joined the new crop of labels offering a Fan Club model to fans of their music.
According to their easy-to-paste press release:
“Trustkill will offer 3 tiers to the subscription plan called 1. “The Pit”, 2. “Front Row”, and 3. “Backstage” which will give fans access to a massive library of audio, videos, as well as band/Trustkill merchandise. For the various price point subscription levels fans will have the opportunity of advance shipments of new Trustkill CDs/DVDs, and access to exclusive never-before-heard and seen songs/videos, a Trustkill watch, a Trustkill skate deck, exclusive Trustkill and free artist shirts and hoodies, a phone call from your favorite Trustkill artist, hand numbered Trustkill poster, all access “laminate” show pass, two (2) tickets to any Trustkill artist show, and access to your favorite Trustkill band’s video shoot, and lots more!”
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I think a label based fan club (especially for a prolific, very genre specific label) where people pay upfront for special access is a good idea in a p2p driven music marketplace. This also takes it out of the realm of having to sign up for one band and really aggregates an entire fan base and for once, gives a pretty good value.

Not only is the subscription model the future of bands and labels, but it will be the future for our homes.
As much as people keep ragging on it, I am pretty sure it’ll happen, eventually.
I know The Who just did a $50 a year fan subscription but I also think unsigned bands can do it, at a smaller level.
