  4. Every time someone posts a top 10 someone else posts 11... Sheesh is maths that poorly taught at school these days.
  5. Firstborn had 30 minutes but only played for 22 minutes according to Si (their singer) They were indeed top notch... They return on Friday 13th August and have a 30 minute set pencilled in.... Things over-ran due to an extra band being added to the bill.... The curfew was deliberately set arly as I had a feeling that this gig would over-run. Apologies.. Hopefully it shall not happen again... Ross

  11. From Drowned In Sound www.drownedinsound.com "Hell Is For Heroes have apparently been dropped by their record label. The band left the following message on their website: "hey children of rock. following 'structural changes' at our label there came a boss who didn't feel our new album. its a familiar spot but this time we're heading off to the wilderness that is northern sweden to finish the job our style. no compromises. should be done in a month and we'll put it up on the web for mass free download. hell is for heroes xxx" So, there you have it. Although the details aren't entirely clear, it's a free album. Woo." This Was Posted by a gent in the disscussion part "This happened to me,and to my friends The Pecadiloes and Rachel Stamp. when through various corporate takeovers/sackings/blah the A&R teams at our respective majors, Chrysalis, A&M and Warners were sacked, I wonder if it's always been a 'familiar spot' or is it just in the last ten years. Usually the parent corp will initially try to farm you out to one of their other labels, but you probably already knew where those labels stood from before you signed you deal, so it's often just an administrative time delay. Perhaps the greater point is... Is the best way for every new band to proceed to form their own label, pay for their own recordings and seek to find national and international licencees when the time comes to expand? Should bands treat that traditional dream of signing a 'major deal' and being propelled to fame and fortune with the label doing everything for them as an outdated concept that no longer applies in the world of today? The one thing that as very definitely changed in the last ten years is the hundredfold advances in cheap high quality DIY recording eqpt. You should be able to make an album yourself. With a lot of the affairs of a band, all a major label adds is several layers of bureaucratic delay in the decision making process, which becomes sluggish. I think they should be looked at, not as fairy godmothers, but in the cold light of day, as rich potential investors. The fact is, if HIFH produce an album themselves and sell it on the internet/gigs they will be in profit very quickly, unless the recording costs are huge... and after they go into profit will be making a lot of money...even selling CD's at Dischord prices.
