As I mentioned here already - my mates won a national rock band contest - like a Marlboro rock in or something - they topped 760 other signed bands and they were VERY original and had some great playin skills.

Once they received the contract from SONY entertainment - it was the worst piece of shit I ever seen:

- had to agree to produce 5 albums in 5 years
- they had to obey any creative ideas about the way their videos will look like / not to agree menas termination of the contract
- they had to agree with the way their music will look like / not to agree or change anything means termination of the contract
- they have to play ANYWHERE they are sent by the management.. (means any TV piece of shit show etc.)
- they had to agree with about 10 cents from each record sold (seriously)

So they would become another super pseeudo boring mainstream band suited for people without any taste in music, they declined to sign and play in clubs and tour on their own eversince..
It's not like that here and the system is different but that sucks if new bands cant get on the radio in the ol US.

But hey does that matter? All the best bands are from the UK anyway! (apart from a few)
