Louisiana's Squint lands sponsorships after GarageBand success

After moving to Louisiana from the more remote reaches of Michigan, pop punk band Squint began to attract attention for their high-energy live shows and catchy song writing. They recorded an album produced by the legendary Ed Stasium (Ramones, Soul Asylum) and their song "Quite" eventually became track of the week on GarageBand.

Based on the momentum of their great GarageBand charting, sponsorships fell into place like dominoes for Squint. After their live show was selected for worldwide broadcast by HDNet, AKG microphones and Atlas mic stands took interest in singer Dane Adrian's stage antics and signed on to support the band.

Adrian recently wrote us in thanks for our help in pushing Squint's music career forward. "GarageBand is an awesome ally in this business," he told us. "You get [the listener's] first instinct based on what they hear -- not what they see -- and in today's world where 'video killed the radio star', that is hard to find. GarageBand has garnered us many new fans and supporters. It's truly a useful tool... GarageBand helped show us which tracks were strongest on our record, and that began the ball rolling."
