One-stop music shop ShockHound prepares to launch later this summer. Rivaling iTunes and Amazon.com, Shockhound plans to sell universal media player-compatible MP3’s.
Priced at the industry standard of $0.99 a pop, the site plans to offer millions of tracks from the major labels as well as the indies alongside other music merchandise such as T-shirts, posters and vinyl.
The site will also broadcast exclusive video, interviews with established and up-and-coming bands as well as proposed original programming.
While the store won’t open until next month, Shockhound is currently offering an amazing promotion to the Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco.
One lucky winner will receive roundtrip airfare, and 4 night’s hotel accommodations plus 2 VIP passes to all three days of concerts that include performances by Radiohead, Jack Johnson, Tom Petty, among many others.
Best bit - everyone who enters the contest automatically remains eligible for future draws to win ShockHound gift cards that can be used to make future purchases from the site.
