Lucked out on this one. We submitted a song that wasn't ready or completely mixed. This song was written, recorded and mixed in about 2 days. It wasn't really written for taxi. We just wanted to track some live stuff for a change, but this listing popped up.

One word review: Nice!

SEVERAL GRUNGE ROCK SONGS with Male Vocals are needed for NON-Exclusive placements by the Music Supervisor of a War-based, AAA Console Video Game. Give them authentic sounding, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the following songs as a guide for the vibe and sound he needs: “Even Flow” by Pearl Jam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkbgtVFlyCQ “Fell On Black Days” by Soundgraden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySzrJ4GRF7s “Would?” by Alice In Chains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB_fNVOPzyM Quoting the source: “This will be used as source music, but we’d love it if tunes had socially conscience, but non political lyrics. We know that’s a tall order, so if you’ve got great Grunge with more typical lyrics, please submit that as well. All music needs to sound like an authentic band with real instruments. Original songs with clean lyrics only.” Please submit original, well-structured songs that have an authentic Grunge Rock sound, with rockin’ guitar riffs, hard-hitting drums, and a killer vocal performance that’s full of angst. Lyric themes about social issues will put a huge smile on this Supervisor’s face, but they’re not absolutely necessary. Please avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). There will be a Non-Exclusive license fee of $2,500, All-Inclusive per Song, for 5 Years. The deal is NON-Exclusive, but you will not be permitted to license the same song for other video games during the contract period. You must own or control the Master and Copyright. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a TAXI screener handpicked by the Video Game Company! No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 Songs online or per CD, no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Wednesday, June 24th, 2015. TAXI #U150624GR

Yeah, I was afraid it might be too much Alice.

Both! The bigger your catalogue, the more options you'll have.
