You know, it really saddens me that more people out there are not supporting local bands in this. Self | Is A Seed, The Third Cycle, Paper Champion, Antonamasia, Junto and Mz Ann Thropik have all had their songs up on the unearthed site for quite some time now, and all of them have no more than 6 or less reviews. There's plenty of other good bands in the same boat. It's fucked. Having had a good listen to the bands that are charting in the top 20, most of them are shit, and undeserving of such a high ranking. Whilst it's such a shame that good quality bands, like the ones I've mentioned, recieve little to no exposure, due to the fact that people are just too damn lazy to take 5 mins out of their day, sign up and review a track.
The flip side of this is that I HAVE reviewed tracks for all those bands (and many others) and, to my knowledge, none of them have returned the favour, despite repeated requests for support. I mean, it's the same old story of bands themselves helping to support the music scene by supporting other bands.
Having said all that, I DO appreciate everyone who HAS been there for us and helped us out. My respect goes out to you all, and TLS as a whole are forever in your debt...
