TNLEC provides clients with management without becoming the 'Manager', designing and implementing a growth strategy that remains in the artists hands. And they do all of this without asking you to sign long-term contracts, instead, working on a month to month, project to project basis for as long as working together makes good business sense. TNLEC provides Artist Development services that include setting career goals, business education, image consulting and brand creation, social and viral marketing strategies/implementation, marketing and promotion, publicity, recording and video project management, event production, sponsorship development, merchandise programs and, of course, gig and tour bookings. Traditional artist development models are all but obsolete as the music industry barriers to success are being torn down. There has never been a better time for the Independent Artist to get noticed. While great songwriting, musicianship and a big live show are all critical, so too is great promotion and strategic marketing. Playing constantly and touring relentlessly is the best way to build the "buzz" for your project. The music industry is jam packed with part-time, unqualified people in temporary positions. TNLEC is passionate about giving their clients all the tools to advance their careers.

The Trews

You can hear it in the first four bars of the album. A meaty, beaty, big and bouncy drum fill, followed by a glistening guitar line that could have been ripped from an old Rockpile album, and a breathy Hammond B3 so beautifully captured that it seems to conjure the dimensions of the room it sits in. It’s huge, but intimate. Heavy, but airborne. And the hook is strong enough that you could hang a whale from it.

The Trews’ reputation is built on buffed and visceral rock songs, but on NO TIME FOR LATER they cohere like never before. The structures are more compelling, the playing is more articulate, and the results more nourishing. And the group’s musical breakthrough has certainly been noticed by others, including shock rock legend ALICE COOPER, who christened The Trews “A great young band with a Zeppelin feel”, the Calgary Sun called the album “A regular masterpiece of rock n’ roll”, while Creative Loafing raved, “Exciting, brash crunch rockers who connect like prime Humble Pie.”

And in the great rock tradition of Van Halen, the Black Crowes and AC/DC, the Trews include a brother tandem within their ranks – singer/guitarist Colin MacDonald and guitarist John Angus MacDonald. Raised in a hippy household listening to a record collection that mostly consisted of late 60's and early 70's rock, their father, an aspiring musician himself, always had music playing and had a great influence on the musical inclination of his kids. From an early age Colin and John were always encouraged to play music and both picked up the guitar in their early teenage years. Colin was always steered toward the art of singing while John Angus put most of his focus on mastering the guitar. The MacDonald family moved around quite a bit so the boys spent some of their high school years living in the Caribbean. It was while living in Barbados in 1995 when the two decided to form a rock and roll band. Slowly but surely, the pieces began falling in place for the group that eventually became the Trews.

If it’s the shrewd marriage of different rock styles that accounts for the Trews’ remarkable multi-generational appeal, then NO TIME FOR LATER finds the band expanding at all ends of the spectrum.

And they put on a kick-ass live performance. Go check 'em out!!Visit The Trews on their website: http://www.thetrewsmusic.comOr on their Myspace site: http://www.myspace.com/thetrews
