-----------------------------------
Lots of MODERN ALT-ROCK INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a great Publisher with a super-impressive list of really BIG placements in Major-brand TV Commercials and TV shows!
This Publisher is hunting for several Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals in the general wheelhouse of the following examples:
"It's Amazing To Be Young" by Fontaines DC
"So Cold" by Balu Brigada
"Metaverse" by Cage The Elephant
Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch.
Please submit modern Alternative Rock Instrumentals with great energy and a captivating sound that could work well for advertising and commercial placements! Your submissions should have engaging rhythms, infectious motifs, great production, solid musicianship, dynamic arrangements with forward development, and be mainstream enough to stay accessible to a fairly broad audience - you'd be wise to avoid anything too dark or aggressive here! Instrumentation that's in the general ballpark of the references will work best (electric guitar, bass, drums, etc.). Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding. Some non-lyrical vocals like "ahs," "woahs," etc., could potentially work here, but are by no means required. Please do NOT submit full vocal Songs for this opportunity.
Submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this pitch.

I've actually listened to Fontaines D.C.'s album Romance a lot and I like stuff like this so it's pretty much in my wheelhouse even though I've never really tried to make this kind of music before. I'm pretty confident about my rhythm section and the guitars but the keys and strings are always a bit of a pain and I don't want to get the dreaded "sounds dated" feedback because of them. This is my first time using these particular strings and I tried to make sure they sound expressive but I'm not experienced in that field. Although, they do use all kinds of retro sounding keys and strings (like mellotrons) in this genre. Now this might be a stupid thing to worry about but I've been listening to stuff that gets forwarded and I only hear perfectly quantized virtual drums in those tracks when all I do is imperfect live drums. Will it make me stand out positively or negatively in general?
Here's my track:
