ALTERNATIVE/MODERN/INDIE ROCK BANDS/ARTISTS in the wide stylistic range of Modest Mouse, Coldplay, Weezer, Muse, and Tool are sought by the Sr. VP of A&R at one of the most historic and celebrated Major Labels. This executive is one of the most respected and toughest to impress in the business. Therefore, you need to have strong display of musicianship, musical integrity & credible vibe, appealing & formed image, online presence, and evidence of sales & touring history. He is a stickler for an act that knows who and what they are, as well as have a timely/timeless statement to make. Demo presentation of vocal & instrumentation should be very strong (excellent sounding home recordings are fine). Please submit two to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics, picture, and bio. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than 2:00pm (PST) on Wednesday, September 30, 2009. TAXI #D090930AR

A very infectious band energy and overall quality presentation, however I don't feel I'm hearing a
break thru vocal signature or CH melody - to warrant a forward. This executive has super high level criteria -

I connected with this vocal take a bit more, yet I still
don't hear the timeless melody or arrangement this

GUITAR DRIVEN ALT ROCK INSTRUMENTALS in the wide variety of The Raconteurs, Radiohead, Kings of Leon, etc., are wanted by a Music Publisher for placement in Muzak-type applications (shops, restaurants, malls, etc.) as well as film and TV placements. He wants BMI writers only (don't be mad at us - this was his specific request). He's signed and placed many TAXI songs in the past. He wants to hear edgy, guitar driven instrumentals that stand on their own and sound like they could be on the radio - minus the vocals, of course! Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Please submit one to three instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Thursday, June 4, 2009. TAXI #Y090604AR
