Cloud Cult

Somewhere In, MN - Cloud Cult is a multi-faceted band unlike any other. Established as a not-for-profit music centered environmental and philosophical movement, Cloud Cult and the band's self-created record label, Earthology Records, are providing music lovers across the U.S. with some of the most intelligent revolutionary music on the market today.

Beyond all of that, college and alternative radio fans just plain love the music. In the last two years, Cloud Cult has gone from a "nobody" band to radio charting in the top 10 in over 100 cities across the U.S., being nominated Artist of the Year by the Minnesota Music Awards (along with Prince and Paul Westerberg), and sharing bills with bands like Violent Femmes, Cowboy Junkies, Cracker, Low, and even presidential candidate Ralph Nader.

What makes all of that even more impressive is that Cloud Cult, having spent next to nothing for promotion and marketing, is now passing bands on the radio charts that are signed to major record labels, who regularly invest anywhere from $100,000 to over a million bucks on marketing. The music industry hasn't seen the likes of such a successful grassroots campaign since Ani Difranco's Righteous Babe Records started launching her into the public eye in the mid 90s.
