The Unsigned Guide Celebrates 10 Years With Special Offers For Bands & Artists
Website: http://www.theunsignedguide.com “The Unsigned Guide is better than a foot in the door, it blows the door off its hinges!” Tony Wilson, Factory Records co-founder Since publishing their first music industry directory in 2003, The Unsigned Guide has become an essential resource for aspiring bands & artists, producers in the making, music students, plus new record labels, promoters starting out and anyone else working towards a career in the music business. Celebrating a decade in the music industry this March, The Unsigned Guide will be marking this milestone anniversary by doing what they do best – helping independent bands and artists. Throughout the whole of March anyone signing up to The Unsigned Guide’s service will receive an extra birthday bonus in the form of a bundle of money-saving discounts for a variety of music services vital for any band or artist, featuring exclusive deals from Ditto Music, UK Music Jobs, Dawsons Music, Castle Rock Studios, Awesome Merchandise, Media Plant and 360 Mastering. On their official birthday, Wednesday 20th March, all current members of The Unsigned Guide will be entered into a prize draw and 10 lucky winners will be randomly selected & awarded with superb treats including an upgrade to lifetime access to The Unsigned Guide, free digital album or EP release, 3 month subscription to Record Of The Day and a premium SoundCloud account. One extra special winner out of the 10 will also receive a subscription to The Fly and a pair of tickets to Leeds/Reading Festival in August. “A decade is quite a big deal in the music industry, especially for an independent company such as The Unsigned Guide, and we’re over the moon to be celebrating such a landmark. We created The Unsigned Guide to help grassroots artists navigate the music industry & put them in touch with individuals & businesses who can help them further their careers so it feels great to be able to give something back to our members!” says Editor, Louise Dodgson. Along with many music businesses over the years, The Unsigned Guide has adapted with the times, moving on from publishing 7 editions of their comprehensive printed directory to creating an online only service in 2011 and expanding their directory to incorporate the upsurge of new tools & services required by the DIY musician in the digital age. Most recently, they have introduced new feature Spotlight to support their members and help their music be heard. The Spotlight blog showcases 5 of their member’s best tracks each month and these tracks are then shared to other influential music industry professionals ranging from contacts at major & independent record labels, PR companies, new music blogs & magazines, radio DJs & producers, established gig promoters, managers, music publishers and sync agencies, plus festival and event organisers. Since being featured on Spotlight, several of the bands and artists have secured airplay, online reviews & features, esteemed support and festival slots, teamed up with PR companies and in one case, gone on to sign a record deal. 'We wanted to introduce a blueprint for new bands breaking through in the music industry. The Unsigned Guide was always about DIY. We set out to help explain how the industry works and who does what. That's still what we're doing now, 10 years on.” Stephen Loukes, Founder About The Unsigned Guide The Unsigned Guide is a music industry directory providing grassroots bands & artists, music students and new independent businesses with more than 8,800 contacts across 50 areas of the music business including artist managers, record labels, music publishers, producers, radio stations, festivals, venues, gig promoters, PR companies, booking agents and much more. The Guide also incorporates invaluable advice and information contributed by supporting organisations such as Musicians’ Union, IFPI, Association of Independent Music, PRS For Music, the BPI, Arts Council England, Music Producers Guild and many others. Launched in 2003 The Unsigned Guide produced 7 printed directories before re-launching in 2011 as an online only directory with added tools & features for their members including Survival Guide (offering exclusive discounts & deals on essential music services), Spotlight (a monthly blog championing the best new music from Unsigned Guide members) and DIY Doctor (a bespoke track assessment for those with annual membership). Now in its 10th year, The Unsigned Guide boasts thousands of musician members and is used by colleges, universities and specialist training schools across the UK for their students on music business courses.
