What do you think about sending demo tape, cd or md to a record company. This is serious because i think that i could try this method but most of record companies reciev dozens of amateur music material. I think that even if I have some chances to release it my demo can be lost in hundreds of thousands of other people demos. Write down what you want. |

put it on a CD, thats the best idea unless on their homepage they specify they want something else like minidisc. then send only like 4 songs or so, or even 3, just a "teaser", your songs that best show your musical range and abilities, put your name, contact information, band/artist name and even a small pic or something, and send it in!.. and send lots to different people. I dunno weve sent out demos and had a good response to them, our band is having 2 songs put on a official compilation record this spring, so keep trying, we even get a full record deal possibly this summer. |

send a packet of crisps in with your demo. stuff them till they dont know whats' what...it doesnt matter how crap you are, they will sign you. the space raiders did it and it worked for them. |

send a song that gets straight to point no long intros and always leave them wanting more |

pong rules. your not sending to warp are you? |
||||||||

Yes, I remember reading about that. Really set the precedent for people going overboard on aesthetic presentation of demos rather than the quality of the tracks... |

do something spectacular! i've had an idea about using a rubber-band to fire my demo across the street from my brothers apartement into Tellé records! THAT would make them listen! |

warp closed their demo submitions for the time being anyway i reckon with demos, put on a wide variety of stuff, your best stuff. Put on only 3-4 tracks, and put on tracks that sound like you and not like anyone else. And dont go overboard with the text, dont bullshit, jsut write whats needed, maybe put a picture or something. :) |

No. I already tried in Warp :p. Well, i still have chances in my native Vivo (polish record company, part of BMG). Guy from there told me that i just have to work on some nev stuff and they will release that if it`s good alright ;) |

send it to small labels..... |

I don't believe any 'new' demo artists have been released on Rephlex for years if hardly at all. BOC sent a demo and they ignored them, so my view is don't bother. |
||||||||

yeah, labels like rephlex and so on tend to be a bit cliquey these days...they seem to only want to put out records by their friends or people who already have released dtuff on other labels....my advice to people who send away their tracks is that if you really believe in them and feel as though they would sell...start your own label and do it that way.. |

People putting out stuff by themselves I think is no worse than putting it on an existing label. I believe if people have faith in their music thats all that counts. I still think there has to be a method to the madness that said. |

too bad huh weaklingchild, bein on rephlex would be a fuggin dream. anyways, surf the internet for small labels and send it to them. thats what i did :) and found lacedmilk.com |
