Help Kickstart Pressure Cooker’s 7th Album

admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:26:38 +0000

Dear friends of Pressure Cooker:

In celebration of our 15th anniversary making roots reggae, rocksteady and ska music, we’ve launched production on recording our seventh full-length album.

We are reaching out to you, our fans, to pledge to help us make the new album via Kickstarter, an online funding platform for creative projects. We’ve set a goal to raise $6,000 to help pay for production costs and bring the new music to our fans as quickly as possible.

In return for your pledge, you’ll be the first to receive the new music when it’s ready for release later this year. You can receive the full album digitally with as little as a $10 pledge, but we hope you’ll consider the $25 and higher packages which include generous rewards including CD’s with Your Name in the liner notes, t-shirts, buttons, live concert tickets, and access to all our previous albums in both digital or CD format.

Please visit our Kickstarter project page to learn more and we hope you will join us in the making of this record. Thanks for all of your great support over the years!
