Never have so few companies controlled so much of the music played on the radio and for sale at retail stores. At the same time, there are more bands and more ways to discover their music than ever. Music seems to have split in two - the homogenous corporate product that is spoonfed to consumers and the diverse independent music that finds devoted fans online and at clubs across the country.
BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES tells the story of American music at this precarious moment. Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country, hoping to understand why mainstream music seems so packaged and repetitive, and whether corporations really had the power to silence musical innovation. The answers they found on this journey - ultimately, the promise that the future holds - are what makes BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES both riveting and exhilarating. |

Here's the deal: Buy any download today.
We'll deduct that price from your purchase off the DVD if you decide to buy it. Or if you want the higher res download later on, the amount you already spent on the low res download counts toward the upgrade.
This offer doesn't expire. We're not going to make you pay extra for figuring out that you love one of our movies so much that you want the DVD or high res download. That's just how we roll.
We never want you to feel ripped off when you buy something on B-Side. It's that simple. We came up with the idea that the purchase of a download is like a down payment on a DVD - that you'll never have to spend extra on a film just because you bought the download first - because we think it's the right way to do business.
Trying to get every last penny out of you is not our thing. Helping you find (and buy) great movies is.

B4MD had me from the opening moment. This film taps into real people who play real roles in the world of music, whether that's as an artist, a fan or on the business or media side. The insights that Andrew Shapter brings out of people make you think...even after the film's closing credits roll. See this film if you love music or if you're just curious about how it all works...B4MD is passionate storytelling at it's best.

Hey all — Wanted to drop an important update on the continuing phenomenon that is Before the Music Dies…..
You can now purchase “the most important film a music fan will ever see” in retail stores! We’ve broken with industry convention and released the Before the Music Dies DVD exclusively through a network of the nation’s best independent record stores…rather than via mass market retailers.
In a major shift from typical DVD releases, we’ve partnered over 300 independent record retailers to give these businesses an exclusive window to sell a major DVD title. Why? Because local record stores have always been critical to maintaining the connection between fans and the full spectrum of innovative new music. And they need our continued support to keep that connection alive.
Support your local record store and ask for a copy of B4MD today! CLICK HERE to find a store near you.
Stay tuned for more big B4MD news in the coming weeks. Take care until then…
The B4MD/B-Side Team
