F.A.Q.

Bands and Musicians

It is our hope to be able to centralize resources for your local area, and provide internet resources to help you:
  • Find musicians and equipment where needed
  • Obtain gigs at good venues
  • Get airplay for your target audience
  • Record your music economically
  • Distribute your music affordably
  • Promote your music responsibly
  • Get helpful info about all aspects of the "self run" music business.
  • Find low cost services, and/or use our services to copyright, and protect your music 
In the US most of the best bands get no radio airplay, despite their desperate efforts. Mediocre music saturates the airwaves, and is falsely listed as "Best & Most Popular" when in fact, it's simply "The Most Marketed."
 
Most of the really talented musicians out there hit the glass ceiling for an unsigned artist, the local, or college radio station. Without proper circulation and with no large scale radio support, these bands struggle against impossible odds to make it. The "lucky" few who do manage to get noticed by a major label are then shuttled into "The Industry" and there they find out the firsthand the information we have on this site. Occasionally (in the rarest of instances) a band is so good, that they slip through the glass ceiling and become a hit despite maintaining their integrity. In these rare cases the recording industry usually makes a concession and signs them anyway, figuring this way at least, they still get most of the money the artist will generate.

The recording Industry has always rewarded the creator of the product with the least amount of the profits directly resulting from that product. This remains true to this day even though the "Industry costs" have gone down, artists make as little now as they did years ago, in most instances, they make less. 

This is a brief example of our proposed station setup, and how it benefits musicians. For now one of the best resources on the web (despite their ever flowing, in your face advertisements and their constant touting of ASCAP) is MP3.com, a lot of great unsigned bands there that we hope to be putting on the air in the future.

Please keep in mind we are still building the site, so if you would like to offer any help, or services, please contact us.
