rather than shrinking. You cannot imagine the amount of unheard talent in all of the unsigned bands, which really deserve a chance to get a recording contract.
It’s for this reason that I was really glad to discover a website for unsigned bands called www.banditnewsletter.com. They are a great resource for all of the unsigned bands out there that need help in all sorts of ways. They can really point you in the right direction, so that you are not blindly sending your demos off to record companies that will never listen to them. You’ve heard of the expression, it’s not what you know it’s who you know. Well it is certainly applicable to the music industry and their website can point all the unsigned bands that subscribe to them in the right direction. So if you are in a band I highly recommend that you give them a try and begin your road to super stardom.
If you are into heavy and alternative metal, you would have definitely heard the Slipknot band who is considered to be the masters of this music genre. This band was started in 1995 in the little town of Des Moines, Iowa, United States by a bunch of nine. The group initially referred to themselves as Painface and the core members were percussionist Shawn Crahan aka Clown, bassist Paul Gray, vocalist Anders Colsefini and guitarists Donnie Steele and Quan Nong.
Later on, the band renamed themselves as The Pale Ones and took in new members like Joey Jordinson on the drums and Josh Brainard as the guitarist after the exit of Quan Nong. The first live performance of the band was held in December, 1995 at a local club under the name Meld. It was Jordinson who eventually suggested the name Slipknot after a song they composed for the teams demo titled Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. Soon after their first performance, members of the troupe started to experiment with their style and looks wearing grotesque masks which continue even to this day.
