Hi,

My band has been given the chance to get our single played on `absolute radio` this coming sunday night. We could really do with this break and have struggled to get anything on a proper radio station for a while.

To get this we need people to `like` the comment for the hops on the unsigned band review emerging icons facebook page. The link is here, you just scroll down and click to `like` the comment that relates to the hops and our song `shudder`.

I know its cheeky to ask you all to help me out by doing this, but i would be really really grateful and it would be helping out a fellow forumite trying to get his music heard. Also i think it would help our case if there were people from the world over clicking instead of just those that know us in london.

Voting closes at 10.30am tomorrow (thursday the 24th May), and we only found out that we`d been put forward for it this morning, so could really do with the help!

Cheers

Olly

Dunnit.

Obviously, it helps that I actually do like the number!

Still, I've never before "liked" anything on Facebook. A first for me. Hope you're feeling honoured.

Cheers - C

Thanks loads everyone! Im still to get official word, but from what i can see we got the second highest number of likes out of the 10 bands put forward for this. I gather the top 5 get played by the radio DJ next sunday evening, so unless im much mistaken we`ll finally be played on an actual radio station! Wow, havent had any airplay for years now, and i was playing bass last time, so this will be a big step forward for me and my band. Lets just hope whomever the modern Ahmet Ertgun is listens in....

We also apparantly get the song reviewed online by Simon Li, an A&R man from universal records. so fingers crossed there too. We`re finding it real difficult to get any kind of break here so anything like this really helps morale.

Anyone else playing in unsigned bands might be interested in the site that got me this oppurtunity, its http://www.unsignedbandreview.com/ and you get regular things like this coming up on there if you registar (its all free)

Anyway, thanks again, the people on this forum are great

I passed the link on to my sister and she's now a big fan of you lot - she even admitted to have rocked out on her air guitar, which is usually a good sign. "Shudder" all the way, I say!!
