CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:just been thinking that over the last year or so that i have brought several new artists to the attention of MD users in: Boy & Bear, Gotye, Nikki Yanofsky, Lauren Pritchard and Rumer to name a few along with another post i made for Gin Wigmore...If you're into ambient, hip hop, altenrarive , electronica or downtemp you should check my group The Board of Education
so i have decided that this year i am going to actively seek out new artists or artists who have only just started to "make waves" in their homelands in order to give you guys the heads up on what may become big in the music industry in the next 12-18 months and for good artists to get some exposure via MD members who may not be fortunate enough to get international music deals at the moment, i would prefer new artists to only be listed and reviewed here and not "side projects" for famous musicians, but we'll take it as it comes, i think!?
the rules i have set out for myself here are:
1. they must be relatively new,in other words maybe only released one or two albums,prefferably only in the own country
2. they must have a degree of originality about their sound or offer something different in what they are doing to the general music scene
3. they can be of any genre/sub genre
4. they must have youtube links for me to post them up here
5. their album will get a full unbiased appraisal based upon reviews from other websites like amazon,allmusic etc along with my thoughts
6. anyone from the forum can PM me to advise of any bands i should check out, or post your own artist here along as it conforms with the guidelines
pretty simple really...just try to stick to at least three of the rules i have listed and we'll see how it goes...im only expecting to do one or two a month as i have other committments and other posts to post here like the "what are you listening to..." threads...
so, the new artists thread will officially start off here this weekend!
