Four months and still no word from Def Jam or Island Records. I have started contacting other record companies again. Hoping to hear back from Sub Pop.
I really need a breakthrough soon. I had to sell furniture to finish covering the rent a couple of months back, and I've been putting off getting new glasses for over six months. I thought I finally was able to get something as simple as that, but my car tags renewal notice came in the mail. That's top priority, so there went my glasses money for this month. Maybe next month, but I don't know. I have to take an extra $50 out of every paycheck (I get paid once a month) to cover taxes for next year. That pretty much takes all the extra I have after I pay bills. I have no debt, and I only have three bills to pay every month, so I'm actually in good shape that way, but I just don't make enough money. I sacrificed everything for music. It was and still is my passion. I just need a major breakthrough.
Some people have been telling me lately that my music is complete and utter crap; that I shouldn't bother waiting for a record deal, because it is never going to come. Maybe, but I was signed once with a former band and I'm way better than they ever were. I also toured for several years and even made it to England. If it could be done then, then it could definitely be done now!
I also contacted some recording studios in town to get my foot in the door some other way. Haven't heard back from anyone yet.
All this lack of interest, response, or even eagerness from others sure gets my hopes up (he says sarcastically). ...sigh....I really hope the naysayers are totally and completely wrong about me.
I've been reworking the post production on my most recent album, "The Lemon Revolution". It is less harsh, and has a warmer "feel" to the overall sound. I put together a meta album complete with artwork, lyrics, and artist notes. Here's a free link to download it. Please enjoy it and share it with everyone you know: Buzzhead Republic - The Lemon Revolution
