Re: Anyone tried Sonicbids? Taxi?
Pretty much any website that advertises promotion/record deals for any unsigned artist, allowing you to just sign up isnt really good for 95% or artists. They dont really care about band development etc etc just the one big song. If you really want a career as an artist/band then headway is going to be made through meeting people in the business, sellling your personailty aswell as your music and through companies who generally dont advertise their services. Look on the back on your favourite CDs and google some of the names. Chances are you will find a page that merely tells you who they are, who they represent and that they dont accept unsolicited demos.
To have ANY short lived success with these online companies such as taxi, you need to spend months sat at your computer signing up to just about everyone there is, and maybe a bit of money will trickle through. Much better to get out there and meet people, hang round the offices with demos.
