Created to document the music, spirit and resolve of the independent artist, each volume of This Is Indie Rock: The Best Bands You've Never Heard features twelve UNRELEASED and EXCLUSIVE songs from the hottest new indie rock bands / artists throughout the world. You'll find a diverse mixture of hardcore, punk, rock, emo, metal, pop and more. By uniting all genres of indie rock, these compilations are destined to surpass the popularity of Deep Elm's other highly acclaimed compilation series. Bands were selected to participate based on open submissions of their music. Only the music mattered. Extremely high recording quality characterizes each compilation. This Is Indie Rock has already been proven to be a springboard for several talented young bands. From Volume One, Clair De Lune (now on Deep Elm), Lakota (now on Pop Up) and The Kidcrash (now on Lujo) all signed to established labels. Volume Two band The Forecast recently joined the ranks of Victory Records. Volume Three band Free Diamonds recently joined the Deep Elm roster.
They don't say if there's any compensation for the featured bands, but I'm guessing not. It would be nice to know how many copies they've sold of previous volumes so you'd know what sort of exposure to expect for giving them exclusive tracks.
All decisions made are based upon the SONG, not the band. It's the music that matters. ONLY previously UNRELEASED songs are eligible. UNRELEASED means the song(s) submitted is currently Not Available on any medium (CD, MP3, compilation, etc.) from you, a label or anyone else. The more unreleased songs we receive, the better chance a band has of being selected.
