You are welcome
to send unsolicited demos ... But be aware that :
- we never send back material (we simply can't handle this)
- we are only 2 persons in charge of listening to everything : we
do but we can't be very fast
- we are a small label that doesn't launch hundreds of albums a
year ...
Don't send emails twice a day to know if we loved your song : do you
think that we are as shy as this ? If we love your song, AND if we
think that this song can be a part of a CURRENT PROJECT, then we will
contact you (you let you contact ON the CD, no ? : please don't laugh,
about 5 demos a month arrive here with no contact on it or with a
contact written by a cryptology maths expert ... and we can't read it
... !!!! ????).
We are a specialized record label, so please don't send :
- jazz, international variety, rap, R n B, Drum n Bass,
Ragga-anything, ...
- French "variété" or new "chanson
française" styles
- tapes : we DON'T have anything here to listen to damn audio
tapes : a CD or a DVD is required.
The
best is that you listen to what we produced BEFORE sending
your material (snail mails and CD burning are expensive, please target)
: click HERE
Please don't send demos if you are not prepared to sign a contract : we
know it sounds absurd ... but many bands wish to sign an agreement
where it is warrantied that they will earn fast a big amount of money
and that they
won't have to work too hard for it ("i can't come to play at this
gig because ..."), and they haven't understood that a record company
wants the exclusivity of the material ... , they disagree on their
property and rights (who is the song writer ? every one in the band,
even the bass player that was fired yesterday ? and the new bass player
that was hired today ? Hum ? ...) ...
NB : we produce rock for the entire world : regular language for lyrics
is ENGLISH (but of course, the world is made of exceptions, so French,
Spanish, ... can be sent too : just be aware of the fact that you
target international rock fans).
