jo-elkanitz:

Hello, my name is Joel Kanitz. I’m in a band called This Century. I’ve been playing music for almost 10 years. When I was 14 years old, I had already set my heart on being in a band, traveling the world and playing music for as many people as possible. My reason wasn’t for money or fame. I simply wanted to impact people in the same positive way that I had been impacted by my favorite artists.

Almost 10 years later, I’m living my dream. I’m blessed enough to be touring internationally and playing music for people who believe in me. I want to do this for as long as I physically can, but I need your help to keep it alive!

So I had this crazy idea, but I think it might just work:

I want to promote my band that I’m so incredibly passionate about, but that can get pretty exhausting and difficult when you’re not on a record label and promoting all on your own. This is when I thought of all of you amazing fans, otherwise known as the “TC Family”. You guys have been the force that keeps us going and we wouldn’t be where we are today without you. All we want to do is continue to share our music with the world and put smiles on peoples’ faces, and we want to be able to do that for a very long time. Anyway, here’s my idea…my goal is pretty ambitious but I know it can be done:

I WANT TO GET THIS TO 10,000 REBLOGS. We have a new single called “Bleach Blonde” out and I believe it needs to be shared with the world. All you have to do is reblog and ask your friends to reblog. Tweet it, Facebook it, write it in the sky with an airplane…you get the point. If we reach 10,000 reblogs, I’m promising that we’ll post a cover song and put it up for FREE download. Who knows, I might even post something I’ve worked on outside of This Century…!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Let’s see how far we can get TC Family!

P.S. Never underestimate yourself. Dreams can very much become a reality!
