The "kids" think it's "the prize" because (if it's a decent deal) it allows them to go full time with their music, which is all that they want to do. |

I think more and more bands are now realising that getting signed is only the start of a new beginning.
One of my fav bands has recently split due to half the band prefering to keep labels out altogether even if they only stay underground. |

And most bands that get signed don't get their record released.
I despair at the "get signed" myth. The kids all seem to think it's the prize. |

You never can tell how talent gets noticed -
Unfortunately, to often 'Talent' is where a vested interest is.
A majority of bands who get signed already have an 'in'.
Is it true that people who have an already famous face or relative or London industry contacts are more talented? |

I know of a band member, who when asked by a certain a&r at Parlophone to send down a cd, didn't eat for a day as they spent the last of their cash sending the stuff recorded delivery. (fortunately next day was pay day)
And that a&r wouldn't even take calls from the band after, not even to say "thanks but no thanks" after he contacted them and requested some material. The last they heard was that he had recieved it and planning on giving it a listen "this afternoon".... this was last October.
