5 Fundamentals All Unsigned Bands Need To Do
Being in an unsigned band isn't a hobby, its a mental illness. Traversing the unsigned band mine fields is a rite of passage for many young men and women. Whether it lasts 2 months or 2 decades, those that dare to take a bite from this potentially life altering way of life (Not just good, mostly bad) should take heed from this opinionated, frustrated and passionate Writer/Guitarist/Frontman/Deluded idiot. Disclaimer. I'm no expert. I have many friends, never mind peers who have accomplished more kudos and success than myself. However, I've been playing in music in bands for years and have supported many signed artists, had my music used in film, toured Europe as a stage hand and assistant, worked as a sound engineer and had a pro shot music video to name but a few. These are some of the highlights set apart from inevitable, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory low-lights whilst slogging away through some of the beloved British "Toilet Circuit" of live music venues. Anyway, enough about me. Lets roll.
