The band is hosting a remix contest on Indaba for their single "Back in Atlanta." The contest live at: http://www.indabamusic.com/opportunities/the-constellations-back-in-atlanta-remix-contest. Submissions are due by May 22nd and prizes include VIP passes to The Warped Tour, a meet and greet with the band, and $500 cash. The winner will be announced on the album release date.
In addition, Rolling Stone.com is offering a free download of "Right Where I Belong"—visit: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/mp3-download-the-constellations-right-where-i-belong-20120507. "DO IT FOR FREE" will be released on 429 Records on June 12, 2012.
Perfectly suited for the Warped Tour, the Constellations are constantly touring—taking every opportunity to hit the road. Much of the inspiration for Do It For Free came to light after months on the road. Elijah also connects his active involvement with the Occupy Movement with some of the inspiration for Do It For Free — the title a reference to the 99 Percenters as well as the band's dedication and love for playing live no matter what the costs or profit.
Says Elijah Jones: "We've been on the road for what seems like forever and a lot has changed musically since our first release. We're changing what The Constellations sound can and will be defined as. While there was no overall concept going into the writing and recording of Do It For Free, we knew we wanted to make something that sounded a little more soulful, with more melodic songwriting and less rapping. We wanted it to be defined under one musical umbrella instead of doing all the stylistic jumps."
