Hard Life Promotion is an independent promotion agency based in the Netherlands. Main focus is the BeNeLux(Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg)area but we also work in other European countries when needed. Hard Life Promotion is mostly specialized in doing independent mediapromotion and we don't only do this for recordlabels, also bands(with a label or independent)are more then welcome to ask for our services. In the past Hard Life worked for labels like I Scream Records, Good Life Recordings, High Gain Records, Rawk Records, Lifeforce Records, Lion Music, Join The Teamplayer Records, Funtime Records, Victory Records and some more.
Labels that we worked for lately where Limb Music Products, Napalm Records, Rebellion Records, Firebox Records, Melissa Records, Bridge Nine Records, People Like You Records, Yesterday's Gone Records, Cruz Del Sur Music, I For Us Records, Pivotal Rockordings, WTF Records, I Scream Records, Woodcut Records and Limited Access Records.
We also work for the Dutch upcoming band La-Ventura who're now working on new songs for the second album. Their first one has been released by Renaissance Records from the States and at this moment that record also will be released in the UK, Germany and some other European countries. A short tour through Germany will follow in the summer of 2009 and in the fall they most likely do some shows in the States. And if all goes well they also will shoot their second video overthere.
Labels that we work with in 2009 are Napalm Records, Cruz Del Sur Music, Limb Music Products, Pivotal Rockordings, Bridge Nine Records, WTF Records, I For Us Records, Yesterday's Gone Records, Firebox Records, I Scream Records and People Like You Records.
And in between we're always talking to other labels regarding promotion so when new labels are known they'll added. Some years back Hard Life Promotion also started with setting up hardcore/punk markets here and there and the most well-known is the market thats set up at the Groezrock Festival. We now just had the 2009-edition and that was again a success and that during the two days of the festival(for the second time during these years we do this market). And for the first time in years we had a bigger tent as well, instead of the normal 120 metres filled with stands we now had 160 metres with distros, labels, clothingmerch, etc. etc.
But also elsewhere in the BeNeLux-area we wanna set up these markets so we're always looking for new partners who wanna work with us regarding this matter.
