Who should DiS recordings sign next?

Jordan_229_2 [Edit] [Delete] 55 replies 18:31, 16 March '06

just because i write for here doesnt mean i have any authority, just curious as to who you think DiS recordings should sign next. no 'hilarious' suggestions such as JAG! or RazNdaVe please.

my choice;
www.thejaialaisavant.com

played twice at atp, second time the crowd was MUCH larger, so obviously gonna be big if they get promoted right.

also, if they write a couple more good tracks; www.theadambrown.com

or even From The Shards Of Comets! , a band from Nottingham who are looking really promising.

what do you think?

The visions?

- I think you should sign the least obvious band there is
  
  like when Creation signed Kevin Rowland.
  
  prole-art-threat @therapyrock | 16 Mar '06, 18:34 | X
  - kevin rowland is a band?
    
    so if you think that then DiS should definately sign;

- Operation Wolf!
  
  www.myspace.com/operationwolf
  
  might not tie in too well with the rest of the rosta though...
  
  nice_squirrel @therapyrock | 16 Mar '06, 18:34 | X
  - it's not exactly a predictable roster though
    
    crablin @nice_squirrel | 16 Mar '06, 18:35 | X
    - no, it's not
      
      sign Operation Wolf!
      
      nice_squirrel @crablin | 16 Mar '06, 18:36 | X
      - yay for operation wolf!
        
        i'm tempted to ask them if they want to do a single. 'kim deal or no deal' = CHOON.
        
        guntrip @nice_squirrel | 16 Mar '06, 18:38 | X
        
        yay
        
        sign Operation Wolf!
        
        (I'm not in it or anything, just excited...)
        
        nice_squirrel @guntrip | 16 Mar '06, 18:38 | X
        
        i know you're not in them
        
        as the drummer is a friend of mine ;)
        
        guntrip @nice_squirrel | 17 Mar '06, 09:10 | X
        
        operation wolf
        
        No good for an album, at all.
        Digital single, maybe.
        Too one-dimensional.
        
        Mike_Diver @guntrip | 17 Mar '06, 10:05 | X
        
        to be fair
        
        that was their fourth gig EVER.
        
        guntrip @Mike_Diver | 17 Mar '06, 10:18 | X
        
        at nambucca?
        
        it showed. a little.
        
        nice ideas, but hardly WOW OMG LOL WOW etc.
        
        Good for a spunktacular seven-inch though.
        
        Mike_Diver @guntrip | 17 Mar '06, 10:33 | X
        
        yeah
        
        to be honest, they were a LOT better than the last time I saw them (October, I think) and there were a couple of more than decent songs in their that they've clearly written since i last saw them. give 'em time, i reckon they could do something nice.
        
        guntrip @Mike_Diver | 17 Mar '06, 10:44 | X
        
        yup, yr prolly right
        
        Mike_Diver @guntrip | 17 Mar '06, 12:59 | X
        
        someone needs to sign them
        
        they're awesome.
        
        actually, someone should run a label that only signs bands with wolf in their names.
        
        or !
        
        you'd never sign a bad band.

        what about Panic! At The Disco?

        fionapinkstars @homesick_alien | 16 Mar '06, 18:44 | X
        
        yeah

    - I've always thought it's quite varied
      
      like... it touches a lot of bases.
      It's more just kind of... good... than anything else.
      
      (there were too many dots and not enough thought in that post)
      
      fionapinkstars @crablin | 16 Mar '06, 18:37 | X
crablin-joke account

volcano! unsigned? definately then!!
or www.anathallo.com , who touch some of the same areas as volcano! even if they are a bit more relaxed.

Jordan_229_2 | 16 Mar '06, 18:33 | X
- no, they're not unsigned
  
  but that never stops the majors.
  
  DOES IT, ATLANTIC?
  
  crablin @Jordan_229_2 | 16 Mar '06, 18:34 | X

- Johnny Boy. Seriously.
  
  They release "You Are The Generation..." about 6,000 years ago and since have been dropped, signed, dropped, abandoned, signed et cetera. I have a promo copy of their album and it is brilliant. One of the most inventive things to be created by a British band for a while.
  
  Sign 'em. Ah come on, come on...
  
  Panic @Trumpet | 16 Mar '06, 18:45 | X
yes!

I love that song.

nice_squirrel | 16 Mar '06, 18:46 | X

  - i know, i've seen them thrice
    
    the first time was the Best Moshpit Evah and i hurted up my ankle.
    
    they should only ever play at 2:30 in the morning so that everyone is pissed up and ready to dance like a bastard.
