Over the past year, The Product, whose average age is 23 have played Detroit’s Warped Tour, had their music played on MTV shows such as Jersey Shore, and have received equipment endorsements from Ernie Ball, Vic Firth and more. “Even the Detroit Red Wings have gotten in on the rock music that we’ve been writing. They have been using our song “Make Your Move” as their own Stanley Cup Playoffs theme song for the 2011 season.” says BJ Perry, the bands singer and frontman. “That is to say, they play this song to a highlights reel 2 minutes before every home game and at the end of our song Al the octopus falls out of the jumbotron equipped with tons of smoke and lights. To witness that was one of the most intense moments of our musical careers. We’ve even heard the song on national NBC as well!”
In the next month, The Product will be entering the studio with Brian Virtue down in Nashville to produce their next E.P. Brian Virtue has produced hits from bands such as 30 seconds to mars (The bands music was recently heard on American Idol), Chevelle, Puddle of Mudd, Rage Against The Machine and so many more. While in Nashville, they will also be writing with songwriters who have written with some of the biggest rock bands on the scene right now.
With all the buzz zipping around these guys it would be easy for them to turn their noses up to all the blight they see daily in and around their home town of Detroit. Not these guys. In fact it has only inspired them to take the unusual step of giving back to their community before they hit it big. Perry continues, “Because of all the support we’ve received from Southeastern Michigan, we are teaming up with The Detroit Red Wings, 89x Radio and Habitat for Humanity to build a house in Detroit. We are a band that believes in giving back. We are coordinating to raise the $10,000 dollars needed to start a house, by donating all of our profits from the sale of our latest single "Make Your Move". Which Perry informs us will be built somewhere in South East Michigan for a proven needy family yet to be determined. Visit the site for more info RIGHT HERE.
