So Nice of Punchline
 
UPDATE: The free downloads are gone, but the EP is still available on iTunes. You can download their previous album, Delightfully Pleased, for free here.

Punchline are so delightfully pleased with the response to their new EP, So Nice To Meet You, that they are giving it away to AP.net readers. The first 37 people to e-mail TDR Records will receive a free copy. Don't forget to tune into Mobbed tonight on Fox to see the band!

Emailed!

trindaddy 01/04/12 04:26 PM

Winner?

Alex DiVincenzo 01/04/12 04:26 PM

If you win, you should still consider picking it up on iTunes to support the cause ;)

zbrmike79 01/04/12 04:30 PM

the cause seems more like a threat.

trindaddy 01/04/12 04:31 PM

If I win, I'll buy it for my lady friend to enjoy as well.

Looks like they've dropped to number 9 and number 2 in rock.

Lueda Alia 01/04/12 04:38 PM

That's pretty nice of them. Used to like these guys when I was young.

Hahaha contrary to popular belief, I do not hate pop-punk. In fact, I still listen to my old CDs whenever I'm on the highway.

tdrrecords 01/04/12 04:44 PM

My e-mail blew up more times than I can count. Winners will get the EP soon and I'm sending a little treat to everyone who keeps submitting!

zong 01/04/12 04:46 PM

Let's test my luck...

_veges_ 01/04/12 04:50 PM

Emailed, hopefully not too late.

laxcrs 01/04/12 04:54 PM

InfiniteArms 01/04/12 04:56 PM

I've probably missed the cut but what should the email say?

I like to think of it as more of a wager.

YouHaveNoClue 01/04/12 05:45 PM

Anyone notice how well the EP is selling on iTunes??? right now on Jan 4th, at 845pm they are #7.. thats trending to sell 38-41K albums... It has to hold steady but thats pretty solid for them.

mynameisgeneric 01/04/12 05:59 PM

They've been stuck at #7 forever, SPREAD THE WORD!!!

MakeshiftHalo 01/04/12 06:00 PM

i see what you did there... "punchline are so delightfully pleased..... ". very clever

nickstetina 01/04/12 06:08 PM

E-mailed, probably way too late though.

popdisaster00 01/04/12 06:08 PM

Wooh, I got one. Thanks guys!

lp670sv 01/04/12 06:35 PM

okay seriously this album has 50 more ratings than another album on this list that has enough reviews to display an average rating and it STILL doesn't have an average.

NateGolubiewski 01/04/12 07:01 PM

So does this mean Chris will be staying?

BurymeWalkAway 01/04/12 07:03 PM

If they are having a contest to see who's more insane, Chris lost.

spawnofz 01/04/12 07:05 PM

I wish there was another way to buy the EP, I'm on a netbook running Linux and this little puppy can't run iTunes :c

ishotthepilot 01/04/12 07:51 PM

First 2 to PM me can get it gifted, I have extra :) Only if your're broke though! Otherwise help out & buy it!

jordalsh 01/04/12 08:11 PM

I guess Steve found his Caller 10...

JayBee420 01/04/12 08:16 PM

I love these men. Full homo.

Coverbydesign 01/04/12 08:19 PM

Watched the show and then went over to there facebook to see if they said anything about the show. And saw they gained a crap ton of fans who watched that show. I think there fan base just grew in size and in age.

JoeHalby 01/04/12 08:20 PM

Just here to say congrats to Punchline for stirring up such an awesome buzz this week. Good fucking job dudes.

$5 x 38,000 = $190,000
itunes takes 30% so
they made 133k.

Good for them.

lp670sv 01/04/12 08:49 PM

I want you to want me just shot up in popularity so I think people are just buying that and not the album now -_-

I don't think your math is that great. First of it's $4.95. 30,000-40,000 nickles adds up. Plus the 5th song is a cover song. Not sure how much they have to pay the original artist / writer.

Hopefully safe to say they can pull in $100,000. Split 4 ways = $25k each. For an EP they probably put months and months and months into making. For a band their size this is very very good but I hope you guys are seeing how hard it is to make money in the music business.

It's not like you write a couple songs and record them the next day and on the 3rd day the CD is released.

EVERYONE gets paid before the band.

FourStarters 01/04/12 10:02 PM

I had no idea the EP was about her. So awesome.

snowboarderkid 01/04/12 10:08 PM

This is so nice of them, also congrats to reaching number one!
