I found this website - www.barkingspiders.co.uk and basically it's a new music management company putting unsigned bands through the music industry. They offer free downloads and they are launching with a band called GoodShirt. The webite is pretty cool and although it's all new I think it's worth checking out and I think it might get pretty big. Do you think record labels such as EMI will follow this route too one day?

Radio 1 won't play GoodShirt. Radio 1 is now a disgrace and doesn't appear to listen to anyone, which is why less and less listen to them. Felt like taking a dig at them.

Your first post, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank-you again for all your comments!
I must have come across pretty unprofessional so far. I'll admit I have no experience in the music industry, but my colleagues do and most of the big labels are familiar with us. I'm more involved in the press/radio/tv side. You should see Barking Spiders and/or GoodShirt in NME, The Wire etc. in the next couple of weeks as the press response has been pretty positive. MTV love the GoodShirt videos and both XFM and Radio 1 are keen on the music.

I know, and I bet very few of them ever really 'made it'.

"I've got a good shirt, a good green shirt"
Not exactly the lyrical geniuses of our time, are they?
I listened to the songs on the audio section of
http://www.goodshirt.co.nz
I couldn't be bothered waiting for MP3s to download on 56k so streaming was a better option.

Hmm, they sound good. I'll download some of their tracks off Kazaa tonight then.
Mwahahahaaaa. ;)

If they're so damn good in New Zealand and Australia they wouldn't need someone to spread the word on chat forums elsewhere.
He's got a point. A bad name works against a band. Unusually named bands are often found in the bargain bin or are very niche artists.
I tried your website and it was well enough designed. GoodShirt were OK, although not to my taste.
It is good to see someone try something new. Piracy on Kazaa isn't the root of problems faced by the record industry and it's hight time they knew it. It's because people don't want to listen to soul-less drone like dance and pop. Don't get me started on rap and hip hop...
Not to mention the fact that all the big bands have recently disappointed.
People DO use downloading to discover new bands. How else would I have ever heard of Joe Stump?
But don't get disheartened, keep trying. You might also want to try pushing your site towards some of the big record companies. The internet suits small artists perfectly. Low distribution and publicity costs.

Memo, there've been far more bands with bizarre or downright rubbish names than "GoodShirt."
