I haven't checked these links (if they were hyper links I might have), but my questiion is, are these bands signed to a record lable, or are they unsigned?

I only came across Ferris Mudd previuosly and they have a simple rock combination with some influence from, as they state themelves, old shool ("symphonic") prog. Nothing too impressive from the Myspace songs I heard.

Do you have a genre to assign to each of these bands? It could help with knowing to which team to let know of these.

But first Assaf, we need to know if any or all these bands are unsigned, so that they may be posted in the "Unsigned Bands" section, and not added to the database.

Oh ok, yes, you're right, sorry.
So in that case, I think Ferris Mudd are unsigned. As for the others, I haven't checked yet.

I'm not much into the classification realm of things.  Most of the bands probably fall into the "prog" areas somewhere, just not sure where.  I'll let the experts decide.

Quick question Ian - if a band start up their own label and issue their own CDs, are they an unsigned band?

My guess is, if they have product that can be shown in the database and reviewed, then they can be classed as "Signed".

Ok, cheers. It's just that, in these days of modern technology, CD burners and what have you, it's not that hard to record and release your own CD. I could knock one out tonight (sorry, I'll rephrase that), I could record and release my own CD tonight but that doesn't make me "signed".

Well I suppose it would depend on the availability of the Cd. If no one could buy it, then it couldn't be included.....could it?

Of the 14 bands listed 7 of them have record companies - i could check these out for the time being and pass up to relevant teams, but is slightly difficult judging from just one track.Confused
the "Abigail's Ghost" one sounded really good!

Hmm...I'm moving far from the topic here, but...let's say that a CD (or vinyl or whatever) must be published under a label that is registered company, that is, have some catalogue number and a bar code for a product, as a minimum requirement...is that making sense?
Percussion, sir!

Moris, there are several album entries on the PA acknowledged as "Self produced". What I don't remember i whether those bands had other, "normal" albums, or the demos were their only entries.

Hi Snow Dog,

I edited my thread and added hyperlinks and whether the bands have labels or not. Hope that helps.

Hey there mystic fred,

Yeh, Abigail's Ghost is decent. The band links I posted have at least 3-4 full length songs of each group. That should be enough don't ya think?

Thanks,

Check out the Model A website, they have a decent video of a live song. Looks like they use a pretty elaborate lighting system for their shows. They also have a new CD coming out soon. I'm not sure if they're "psychedelic" or not. They definitely have some psychedelic passages, but then can get a little heavy at times. I like the ride they take you on though.

Take Care
