JON MIKL THOR Album Sign Of The V Tied To Canucks' Stanley Cup Battle
April 29, 2009, 15 years ago
Vulcan Sky Records has announced the new album by JON MIKL THOR, titled Sign Of The V.
Vulcan Sky Records originally planned to release the album for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, but NHL Canucks executives requested use of the first track, ‘Vancouver Millionaires’, as a motivator and promotional tool for the team. The Canucks are currently in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the album is now in stores.
Music and sports retailers are cross-promoting the album and Vancouver Millionaires sports wear. Each purchase of the album is accompanied by a free t-shirt, and Vancouver Millionaires purchases are accompanied by a free copy of the Jon Mikl Thor album Sign Of The V.
"I am astonished that Jon Mikl Thor has been able to bring a hockey team back from the halls of history,” enthuses John Morrison owner of The Goal Net, a Vancouver sportswear retailer that has been actively promoting the Let¹s Do It Again campaign at his store. “We¹re excited that Thor has made the team popular with a new generation via his music and great promotional ideas!”
Scratch Records owner Keith Parry agrees. His store has also been running the program. "Thor's concept for Sign Of The V is out of this world. Look out for a very exciting play off series and a very wild ride from Thor's CD and Sportswear campaign. We are 100% behind him!”
The tracks on Sign Of The V are: ‘Vancouver Millionaires’, ‘I Want More’, ‘Pump Energy Man’, ‘Primetime Hero’, ‘Invader’, ‘Power US’, ‘Stay Young Feel Young’, ‘Eyes On The Cup’, ‘V Is For Victory’ and ‘Crimson King’.
The nine tracks on the digital-only version are: ‘Vancouver Millionaires’, ‘Grinding Steel’, ‘Ice’, ‘Might’, ‘Stay Young, Feel Young’, ‘Power US’, ‘Sunshine’ 8. ‘Round and Round’ and ‘V Is For Victory’.
