2 FORWARDS - INDIE ROCK & POP ROCK

Post by bamtone » Sun Jul 20, 2014 6:08 am

Hi everybody!

Scott Free & I just got these 2 forwards :D :D :D

Contemporary POP/ROCK Songs with Male vocals are needed by an A-List Hollywood Music Supervisor working on a new TV series for a Major Cable Network. He's on the hunt for energetic, anthemic, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that could be found on the same playlist or chart as artists like Avicci, One Direction, Greyson Chance, etc. Please listen to the following songs to hear the type of sound, tempo, and style that could work for this placement: "Wake Me Up" by Avicci "The Story Of My Life" by One Direction "Waiting Outside The Lines" by Greyson Chance The Supervisor is NOT looking for clones of the referenced songs! Give him something that sounds like it would appeal to the same audience. Your Songs should have a current sound with interesting beats, danceable grooves, and big, catchy chorus hooks. It's important that your song has a strong dynamic build and good contrast between the verse and the chorus. Your vocal and instrumental performance should be strong and competitive with what you’d hear on today’s radio stations. Songs with universal lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, etc. are needed. Lyric themes are pretty open for this pitch, but general themes like making the most out of life, taking chances, trying new things, overcoming obstacles, etc. could all relate to this show. But again, you are NOT limited to just those themes! Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them ONLY as a general stylistic guide for tone, tempo, and vibe. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artist’s songs, sounds, or any other form of media. The estimated license fee for this use is $500 - $1,500 (depending on the ultimate use). This is a Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll keep 100% of the sync fee, and your Master and Composition rights. Plus, you’ll also get 100% of any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control 100% of the Master and Composition. All songs will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 songs online or per CD no later than FRIDAY, July 11th, 2014 by 4pm (PDT). TAXI #U140711PR

FUN, UPBEAT, INDIE ROCK SONGS are needed by a successful Hollywood Film Production Company that’s working on several current Film Productions. They’re searching for contemporary, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs with Male OR Female vocals in the stylistic ballpark of bands like Neon Trees, Arcade Fire, Imagine Dragons, etc. Please check out these songs to hear the sound, style, and vibe that could work for this pitch: “Teenager In Love” by Neon Trees: http://bit.ly/UAuQkL “The Suburbs” by Arcade Fire: http://bit.ly/1pKHrOI “On Top Of The World” by Imagine Dragons: http://bit.ly/1fw3iF5 This Company is building an In-House Music Catalog of pre-cleared songs they can quickly grab and place directly in the projects they’re working on. They have a staff of Music Editors who are constantly in need of new music. Quoting the Source: “We’re looking for fun, upbeat, Indie Rock Songs that sound like something you’d hear played on an Indie Rock radio station. This should have the sound, feel, and energy of a real band.” Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Your vocal performance should be strong and confident, with a fresh Indie Rock attitude that can keep listeners engaged. Please keep your lyrics universal. Avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, etc. If your song is selected, this company will want you to provide them with full Instrumental versions, and stems (submixes) of each song. Please do not copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. This is a Direct-to-Producer pitch, and you'll keep 100% of your original Master and Composition rights, plus you’ll also keep 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties! You must own or control 100% of the Master and Copyright. This is a Non-Exclusive deal. All songs will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a person hand picked by the Head of this Production Company. No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 songs no later than FRIDAY, June 20th, 2014 by 3pm (PDT). TAXI #U140620IR
