"It is costing us a fortune to produce CDs. The Arkade has delivered us a solution all wrapped up in a professional package. Now we can just point our fans to our Arkade microsite. And guess what? We were top of the Soul previews chart last week. It's the first time we've been in a chart! And we are selling our music and making more money than selling CDs." - Samantha Carter, Carter >>> Arkade site

"The Arkade seems an excellent opportunity for new bands to truly become part of the digital revolution in music.  We are very happy to be involved!" - Gavin, Colvex >>> Arkade site

"As an independent band, we need exposure and Arkade provides an easy to use method for bands to reach people in this exciting new digital world. It's early days for Glass with Arkade but we've created a great looking site in about an hour and can now start pointing the world to it. Rock On!" - Dave Menzies, Glass >>> Arkade site

“In the first day on the Arkade Three Litre sold four downloads. We’re making money while we sleep! This has got to be the way forward for independent music as we retain all our rights, set our own prices and get all the revenue. And not a suit from a record label in sight. Marvellous.” Graham Burgess, Three Litre >>> Arkade site

"Arkade has not only given us a website that we can point fans and industry suits at, it's also allowed us to 'release' tracks online at our leisure. All it needs now is a brown M&M sorting function, and it'll be a complete one-stop-shop for bands looking to sell their wares." - Alex Kaupa, White Sunday >>> Arkade microsite
