ATTN: We are currently searching for unsigned bands, artists, songwriters & composers of any style, any genre - Rock, Rap, Folk, Country, Pop, R&B & More.
Whereas, it is currently the policy of all major film & TV show producers not to accept unsolicited material, we work hand in hand with a company, which has an ongoing relationship with them. Having real access to the right people who have the power to place your music in film and television, this is the company that you will be dealing with at the end. Our job is finding music that has potential to be accepted. If your song is accepted, we'll be giving you the contact information, which at that time you'll be contacted & receive a contract. Please note, you will not be obligated to accept the contract if you choose not to.
Remember, taking your music into the TV & film industry is no small task. The competition is fierce and there are thousands of incredibly talented people standing in your way. You need a way to stand out from the crowd – a way to make your music heard above all the rest. We can help you to do just that.

The Challenge Facing Unsigned Artists
The problem for unsigned artists submitting demos direct to UK/US/EU labels is that increasingly record labels do not deal with or accept unsolicited submissions. These artists themselves are not in the position to know the key record label contacts and strategy to get their music heard by a record label.
There are countless numbers of artists competing for individual attention and there is a great deal of talent out there, but most never have the chance or opportunity to get heard because they fail to make a credible approach to the record labels. This behaviour is forced upon the record companies as they receive hundreds of unsolicited music demo submissions every week.
The majority of these are discarded without review, as the time and cost of listening to each one is unjustifiable. Even the most meticulous A & R representative will only listen to the first 30 seconds of a track or quickly speed through your first track to get to the chorus. Those that are reviewed rarely meet the record company's specific requirements.
Fundamentally, an artist submitting an unsolicited demo direct to a record company is unproductive. If you want A & R to pay any interest to your music, you must know them personally. This is where WeirdMusic.net' expertise as an unsigned band promoter comes in to play.
The Success Achieved
The degree of success we achieve is varied and cannot be guaranteed. Ultimately, our success depends directly on the quality of the music we receive from you.
If you are a songwriter and not a singer, it is common practice to have another vocalist perform your music to bring out its best potential. We receive many good demos with excellent musicianship, but it is crucial to remember that the most vital characteristic of your music demo submission is to have a commercial song with a solid rhythm and fantastic lead vocals that will gain enough interest from the record label's A & R team for them to invest heavily in a new act.
