D090317AR

ALTERNATIVE ROCK/POP SONGS in the range of Kings of Leon, The Flaming Lips, Audioslave, The Killers, etc. are wanted by an Independent Film Producer who is working on a new comedy film project. The film producer wants cool, hip, modern songs that must include hooks with big payoffs. The theme of the film is along the lines of "American Pie" or "Road Trip" and the scenes are basic "guys meet girls and party," "fun times" and "as the relationship develops." So lyrical content should try to reflect these types of scenes and not be too heavy. They will license your synch and master for a total of $500 and give you a screen credit. This is a non-exclusive deal, so you will keep your publishing. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Noon (PST) on Tuesday, March 17, 2009. TAXI #D090317AR

Name Michael Epstein Listing # D090317AR Song Title 30 Lives

Status: Return

Reasons not Forwarded:
Stylistically Off Target
Material Not Compelling/Distinctive Enough

The feel here does have a retro '50's feel, mixed with Pop/Rock.. but it's not quite Alt Modern. Hook is OK, but as a payoff it can be stronger.
