34 West Records Press Release

Fig “The Medicine Isn't Helping”. 2009 CD Debut - for immediate release

34 West Records is pleased to announce the new CD and digital release by Detroit area recording artist FIG, titled The Medicine Isn't Helping”. FIG's new CD features 16 pop flavored tracks which showcases Matt Fig's catchy melodic hooks and memorable choruses.

Fig was signed by the label in April of 2009. “I've known Matt for a
while and he just keeps getting better. He is truly an independent
artist who has been seriously honing his craft as a songwriter and
performer”, states 34 West Records President Aaron Wayne. “When I first heard “The Medicine Isn't Helping” I immediately made him an offer to come to the label. We've been working together for several years so it just made sense to finally seal the deal,” he adds.

“The writing process for this album was sit down, play a few chords
and start humming…That’s how I always do it…Sometimes I start with the guitar, other times I use the piano…The songs for this record came together quickly and we actually recorded more material than we could use”,

Matt Fig said. “Music is life and every song is a piece of me”, added Fig of the project.

The CD is currently available at the following digital download sites
Itunes (US, UK, European Union, Japan, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), Rhapsody, Amazon MP3, Napster, IMVU, Lala,
Shockhound and Amie Street. The CD will also be available through www.CDbaby.com.

The first single “The Medicine Isn't Helping” is available for
internet and traditional radio stations. Programmers should contact 34 West Records at 34west@gmail.com.

FIG will play select dates for the official release of “The Medicine
Isn't Helping” including Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, St. Louis and Indianapolis.

All interview requests should be directed to Aaron Wayne at

We are excited to be a part of this new digital opportunity!  As we were getting closer to the release of the Ricky Parent Cancer Benefit CD-Labour of Love, In Honour of Life, I kept wondering how we were going to get the word out and sell some copies.  Independent usually means low sales and no distribution.  We decided not to press a whole bunch of CD's because our belief is that digital releases are pretty much the IN THING and will be for years.

With that said, here we are at digitalfreakz.com!

This site is just one more excellent venue and outlet to get music heard and distributed to the people who are interested in the genres or styles that are represented here.

I have already begun telling my friends about this site and I am proud to be one of the first to take advantage of the service!

Thank you for stopping by and thank you digitalfreakz for supporting indy music, bands and labels.

WE HAIL YOU!
