who do you guys think should be in this years unsigned part of the event?

In the city is very much on the ball when it comes to getting the "buzz" bands on their line ups.

Any bands you think are deserving of a place there? I believe the line up will be announced fairly soon!

Fitzpain.

I wonder if the panel choosing the bands really do sit and listen to the demos and choose bands that they like the sound of? Or whether it's pre-determined by label pressure / media hype etc.

Anyway - the Dastards demo has been sent ...

I do apologise for not mentioning your boys. Of course they should be on it.
But should we really be sending cd`s anymore?
They clutter up terribly.
MP3`s and websites surely is the way to go for projects like this. The snail post must be a nightmare in ITC`s office. And of course, I do agree with your post, they cannot possibly have time to go through everything, a quick MP3, quick biog, bit of feedback etc.
Good luck with your guys, I have a feeling you should get through the panel anyway, the time is right for the Dastards.
Correct pop and politics, great tunes, great image.

Interestingly on their page about 'How to Submit a Demo' In the City have a link to a way of doing it online (presumably with MP3's as part of a press pack) but it costs $10 ...

We are the generation caught in the cd/mp3, video/dvd, landline/mobile, letter/email gap ...

I reckon Keith (who I caught playing live on channel4's Road to V competition recently) will be one of the main bands in ITC unsigned this year.
Big things expected from those lads.
