First Forward to a label

[aubreyz]

Just got the news. We made this one! Okay... so it's not exactly EMI or anything, but we're pretty stoked to be passing the bar.A wide range of commercial-sounding MODERN/INDIE ROCK & EMO ARTISTS a la the Killers, Razorlight, the Kaiser Chiefs, Rilo Kiley, Muse, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Shins, etc. are sought by an Int'l Record Label based in Germany [with regional offices in Singapore]. They're looking to license completed CDs for distribution in the Asian market. For those submitting online, if you're forwarded and they're interested, they'll contact you for your full CD. Songs must be Master Quality. Please submit two to three songs online OR for ground submissions submit your FULL CD indicating which 2-3 songs you want screened; include photo and bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than July 26, 2007. TAXI # S070726IRAnd here's the results:Congratulations Aubrey,Your song(s), Dooya Doncha & Psychedelic Sneakers, were forwarded to XXXXXX for listing # S070726IR! Your critique is available for viewing...The critique was very encouraging on Sneakers he/she said:What a good song. Forward. Forward.For Dooya:Another good one, nice job guys, I like your sense of pop and catchy hook creation. Very listenable. I'd play this again and again if I had the time.And overall text comments:Male vocal based AAA rock pop.Aubrey, I had no problem forwarding these songs as they entertained me for sure. Nice hooks all over the place and a colorful but pleasurably chaotic production.The sound quality was good.Very catchy sound overall. Hooks that come in the verses and choruses and attractive sound sculpting and performances.All 8's on the critique. Whether we hear from this label or not--- this is a good sign that we're hitting the target, which is the main reason I joined Taxi in the first place!!! So it was almost a year from... "not on target... dated sounding... " to the current string of forwards. Thanks Taxi! --- and you forum members. Lot's of work still to do, but we're getting there!!!!Aubbtw, you can hear the songs on www.myspace.com/thegypsyvanor www.taxi.com/aubdelane
