When selling music on iTunes, there’s a lot to consider. Your band name, your playlist, your promotion tactics, and your album cover. But what about your band’s alcoholic equivalent?

That’s right. What about your band’s alcoholic equivalent?

From the Rolling Stones to the White Stripes, from Kiss to Katy Perry, the music industry has seen just about every type of genre there is. There’s folk music, there’s pop music, there’s country, blues, and classic rock. But if you were to assign an alcoholic equivalent to each and every artist who has graced the profitable pages of iTunes, what would they be? And perhaps more importantly, what would yours be?

A warming glass of wine: Think country, jazz, and the talented John Mayer. If your band specializes in smoother ballads, you may just qualify as the glass-of-wine type. The glass-of-wine band is the perfect band to relax to, to relate to every lyric with, and to play, pause, rewind, and play whenever that perfectly crooned note finds its way through your speakers.

A class 12 oz. beer: Nothing is more classic than a 12 oz. beer. Whether you’re into the lighter stuff or the true ambers in the world, the 12 oz. beer band runs cool, refreshing, and timeless. From Queen to The Who, you can never go wrong with an ice cold classic.

A fast and furious shot: Florence and the Machine, AC/DC, Bon Jovi – you name it. They’re the kinds of bands you want to blast once…then once again. Incredible guitar solos, heart-racing beats, and striking, unforgettable voices, the shot band has the perfect kind of music for the days you just want to get up and go…and probably for every other day in between.

So if you’ve been asking yourself, “How do I go about selling my music on iTunes?” don’t forget to consider just what type of band you really are. And remember, always drink – err, pick responsibly.
