Greenland plays a recent show at Exit/In, fresh off their YouTube win and national coverage. |
A Belmont alumnus and his band won the award for “Best Song” in the first ever YouTube Underground Contest last November. Matthew Gometz, a 2005 Belmont graduate, and his band Greenland won with their debut video for “The Way It Is.” YouTube then flew Greenland to New York City to appear on Good Morning America and presented them with prize gear courtesy of Gibson Guitar and Epiphone. The winning video can be viewed on YouTube or myspace.com/greenlandmusic.
Putting Technology to Work
Two Belmont freshmen, Chase Misenheimer and Alex Crawford, have started their own podcast out of their dorm room. The “Untitled and Unbridled” podcast currently pulls in 500 listeners a week and is updated every Monday morning. Each episode features several songs, discussion about the artists of today and fan contests. The duo also uses their podcast to focus on what Belmont musicians are accomplishing. For more information, search the iTunes store for “Untitled and Unbridled.”
