TIPS FOR WINNING!
When it comes right down to it, it's all about the music! But here's a list of hints that might give you just the edge you need to WIN!
1.
|
Paper or Plastic - The listeners will be voting for the bands NOT the songs so it doesn't matter whether you play Rock, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Classical, or The Blues as long as you're
 ! And keep this in mind - since you will be featured on our internet shows, it would be a good idea to tailor your songs to our audience. |
2.
|
Keep It Clean - Your songs are going to be heard all over the world by music lovers of all ages. Use a little common sense and follow these basic guidelines and you should be fine: No songs featuring excessive profanity, overt sexual references, or "socially unacceptable" lyrics will be allowed.
|
3.
|
Tape vs. CD - While cassette tapes are cheaper and easier to record, the sound quality is never very good, especially when broadcast on the internet. All recordings must be up to broadcast quality - no remastering will be done - so submit your songs on compact disk whenever possible.
|
4.
|
Which Tunes to Choose - Send in what you feel are your 2 very best songs.
|
5.
|
Originals vs. Covers - All great groups did other bands' stuff at one time. You know what you do best but remember... we've probably heard Stairway To Heaven 13 times already today! Stick to originals.
|
6.
|
Conceptual Compositions - Make sure the songs you enter are no longer than 4 minutes in length each. Songs that run over 4 minutes will not be allowed.
