Unsigned Bands

An unsigned band is a band that has not been signed to a record label. Bands that release their own material on self-published CDs can also be considered unsigned bands. Often unsigned bands primarily exist to perform at concerts. In more recent years, the internet has helped promote the music of unsigned bands. Artists often post their music as MP3's on websites such as Kooba Radio, MySpace, PureVolume, GarageBand.com, DMusic, AllUnlabeled.com and SoundClick. UK Unsigned bands and musicians are able to use such services as The Unsigned Guide and The Musicians Guide to gather music industry contact names, phone numbers, websites and social media links, as well as information on how to get signed or market music independently. Song pitching websites, such as AudioRokit, TAXI[disambiguation needed] and MyHitOnline allow unsigned musicians to see which record labels (and other music companies) are currently seeking new music. Further, companies like Sentric Music and the royalty payment service offered by Last.FM can help in generating income streams for unsigned bands. Supporting all unsigned bands
