This Burning Age - Entered in Orange Act Unsigned..we need your plays/comments/votes!

[friday]

My band and I have entered this years Orange Act Unsigned...essentially a chance to get our mugs on the telly box, play in front of a screaming crowd of moistened teenagers and hopefully win. And get offered a shiny new record contract. By a man in a suit (living the dream baby!).

 

So...we REALLY need your support.

 

Members on here, friends, husbands, wives, aunties, uncles, lovers, pets, Thai mail-order brides, random people you've dragged off the street...EVERYONE.

 

The "official line" is that 25 bands are selected by voting that starts on September 1st (closing on the 14th). And this is MAJORLY important, don't get me wrong. We really want to see those fingers...registering votes!

 

BUT...if you delve into the site and read the small print tucked away...it becomes apparent that there's a team of rersearchers and industry bods scouring the site already looking for talent who will choose another 25.

 

Whether the 25 that get voted get through is anybody's guess ;)

 

So we really need a 2 pronged attack.

 

1st off, we need to get noticed on the site...that means play our songs till your ears bleed (or alternatively just keep clicking on them in the background!), leave lots of positive comments (are there any other kind? ;)), and very importantly, put together a "mix tape" of our songs. The latter is definately scrutinised!

 

2nd-ly. We really do need your votes. There are A LOT of bands in this competition and we really will need what is technically referred to as a shitload of votes to even make a dent on them as a lot will be crappy, plinky plonk "indie" (and I use that term quite wrongly) bands churning out homogenised, generic pap, but with hordes of early teen, scene-ster friends with spiky hair, thick belts and trousers 10 sizes to small who will vote in their droves as they only have slightly more free thinking ability than the average sheep (and breeeeeath....calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean) ;)

 

This is the link to our page on Orange Act Unsigned: http://orangeunsignedact.co.uk/acts/this-burning-age

 

(our guitarist has just left and I was a bit worried that this would jeopardise our entry but apparently we can still carry on in the competition with a replacement...Yippee! etc :D ;))

 

Any help, plays, comments and votes that you can send our way will be eternally appreciated :)

 

Leigh.

I'm there Leigh, well you know that :D

 

I need to read through it all again; lotta info for my tired brain

 

I'll faff around doing tapes or whatever lol

 

You deserve recognition simple as that

that orange website is so slow its almost unusable, couldn't work out how to comment, just scrolling down the page involved waiting 2 or 3 seconds for it to catch up.

 

played the 3 tracks tho, loved stronger faster fitter, when can we buy the album then

You'll get my vote......;)

[viniboy]

Oh alright then but as as long as you remeber us when you are multi millionaires :bow:

Thanks guys, muchos, muchos appreciated! :)

 

The album is being mastered next month and, now I've sold a few bits and bobs off the car, with more going soon (Mark, if you're reading this, the brakes are nearly off! Sorry for the wait chap!), it'll be sent to be pressed soon after.

 

Just trying to decide which tracks to put up...in fact I'm about to start a poll in another thread about that very thing...!

[friday]

Well, it's the last day before all the artist pages get frozen, so if there's anyone still out there who'd like to support us by playing the tracks, posting a comment on our blog or, possibly the most important thing, make a "mixtape" on the site of our tracks, then there's only today and tonight left!

 

TBH, I'll be very suprised if we get through to the next round as there's a ridiculous number of bands and solo artists on there!

 

Meh :(
