Members ZERO HEROES Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 And what are your sales like? They sold out the first run. I let them out of their contact after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZERO HEROES Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'm not even going to respond to your "points"... I'm not trying to have one. I just don't like to hear people say you need a record label for all the things I've seen bands do without them. I myself have as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pjrake Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 Which would you like to know first?! I knew someone would take me up on this, but you have to pick something cause I'm not going to waste my time getting it all. bands that were able to make major appearances without the help of a label. -PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pjrake Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 Write a hit song. i didn't know it was that simple! so if i write a hit song, then i don't need a label at all, i can do it all myself? the beatles did it all wrong, then! man, they sure could have benefited from your advice. thanks for your insight! -PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ZERO HEROES Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 bands that were able to make major appearances without the help of a label. Camp Freddy, appeared on Jay Leno Oct 5th, 2006. I'll get you some others as I'm sure you're going to be complaining about that one, but they are an unsigned band.

Members ZERO HEROES Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 Carbon Leaf opened for Blues Traveler before they were signed by Vanguard. They were also the first "unsigned" band to play at the American Music Awards. Now that definitely counts for two on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cygnus64 Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 Dude, I'm sorry to burst your bigshot bubble, but the tunes on your myspace sound like they were recorded by a high school kid with a couple of MXL mics and a $100 Tascam interface. Really. Its not an insult, its 100% fact. Not even a good high school recording, a mediocre one.You can be a bigshot all ya want, makes no difference to me. But if ya wanna go that route, I suggest removing the myspace link. Sure, if you're cocky enough and hound people enough, you can sell 100 records. But geez Louise, before you conquer the world, at least learn to tune a guitar, use an equalizer, write a melody, and get the background noise to actually be less than the music.All the songs you hear were written and recorded by us in our own studios here in Dallas.I think you meant to say "in my bedroom", 'cause there aint 2 people who would hear those songs and actually think those were even close to quasi semi- pro recordings by actual musicians. I'm sure you're gonna make up some crap about "err, those arent the "REAL recordings", but we aren't dumb and know that they are. If not you would have put the "good":rolleyes: ones on myspace.I almost admire your cockiness. But ya gotta have SOMETHING besides a bunch of bull{censored} to back it up. More importantly, get rid of the myspace link and then you can act like bigshot record producer all ya want. Until you do, you're just another guy with an out of tune guitar and a cracked copy of Cubasis in your bedroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pjrake Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 Editors played on Late Night with Conan O'Brien while on an indie label. in 2004 they signed with kickenware records. yes, it's an indie label, but a very popular british label with lots of pull, and i'm sure that's how they landed the gig with conan o'brien. i don't know why i'm still entertaining this. re-read bluestrat's reply on why a major label is important before listing any more "unsigned" bands that were featured on the Tonight Show. and when zero heroes makes a national TV appearance, then i'll listen again. until then, don't bother... -PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
