Hey guys/ladies, just wanted to offer some encouragement to those you may be getting bummed. Keep trying and keep working at your goal and you WILL achieve it. I just got my first forward and I am pumped. I want thank everyone here, and at TAXI!

My song "Well Enough Alone" was forwarded!

They're looking for some great Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the stylistic ballpark of acts like X Ambassadors, Walk The Moon, American Authors, etc., etc., etc. Quoting the source: "We'd prefer real songs from acts that have a web presence and touring, but if the song is a must hear, we're interested." Please submit lively songs have all the appeal of the references, with authentic Rock instrumentation, and a really compelling vocal performance. Lyric themes can vary, but should be typical of themes often heard in the Rock genre. Universal lyrics will work best, so please avoid specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity.
