I'd sign
Bros
'spect
Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst Into Flames
Lovvers
Insect Guide
I've still not seen Lovvers
but I heartily concur on the other three. I'd stick Aela on there as well.
Opeth
So that they're not on that dirty dirty Roadrunner label :)
me :
This is pop
MON
the Sleeping Years
Friends Of The Bride
Pagan Wanderer Lu
4or5 Magicians
Power Up!
etc.
Who has the power to sign bands
to DiS then?!
Me
You wanna sign? I can offer you a bag of Hula Hoops and some corned beef, and I'll take 92% of your future earnings. I've already got you a support slot with Mick Hucknall lined up.
Make it
85% of the earnings and the Hula Hoops salt and vinegar and we'll mull it over. I see you're serious though - get start to our career.
You're going to be a very rich man!
BAN REQUEST!
HE said the 'H' word!
The 'H..U...C...K...' word.
Not Hula hoops. That's safe. I think.
definitely FOTB!!!
i can't believe no one's picked them up yet!
Aw thanks buddy!
:)
<3
for some reason
every time I see 'FOTB' I think they're talking about Fall Out Boy.
sexy lack of junkplanet there
you utter wangcunt
You should sign Manatees
and danananackroyd. Use your influence!
Land of Talk
they need a UK deal!!! And they are excellent.
But they're so DULL
live... I fell asleep into my beer.
And...
the label has one Metric already ;o)
Boooooooo!
I disagree Mr Diver. I really enjoyed them.
bonaparte
ania et le programmeur
sir yes sir
Could you sign Shinobu?
Get them to play this country.
Exit the Wizard
Marching Marge & the Fists of Fury
Tins of Tuna
Stabbing an Elephant's Toenail
Fingerprinting and the Cravat
Thomas Blood and the Crown Jewels
Haemorrhagic Smallpox
Tonight Drinks In London
What about Shaking Bulgarians?
And The Holocaust Wore Tights?
And Thorax Wobble Algorithm?
Shaking Bulgarians - split up.
The Holocaust Wore Tights - going through a progressive musical change. I.e. they sound shit, so no.
Thorax Wobble Algorithm - definitely, must give them a call.
If you're going to sign bands
that don't contain people I know:
Say Hi To Your Mom
Shout Out Out Out
Oh No! Oh My!
Matt & Kim
Chin Up Chin Up
Menomena
Storm The Castle
All rule. A lot. Thanks.
Im biased...
Favours For Sailors ;0
actually
i'd sign humanfly
Hahaha
It's testament to the proliferation of joke bands on here that I didn't realise until I saw Menomena that this wasn't just another list of made-up names
erm
the rolling stones
coldplay
arctic monkeys
then id be loaded!
Mike, I think I actually said to you on Friday you should sign Dananananaykroyd..
..and your reply was "don't think it hasn't been talked about.."
You're right, they were amazing Friday. I haven't been compelled to get onto a stage, apart from playing them, since I was about 17.
[pockets]
but they've just split up :(
Wahhhhhh!
I'm still mourning :-(
Gareth and I...
...talked about it on the night, aye!
But we are nothing to do with the label.
If i was Mike Diver i would sign
http://www.myspace.com/therossmannfristerproject
too right
great band
bf
has this turned into a jagfest yet?
no
bf
someone pm me when it has
grammatics
www.myspace.com/grammatics
we wanted them
:(
really?
they're good, but didn't seem like your kind of thing at holy roar..
horsebox!
and live off the DiS Swiss bank account and move into that massive Gold and pink Cathedra-Castle-Waterslide-bathhouse-Bowling alley in the sky that DiS operates from (all hearsay)
Sign Hear'say
don't sign Hear'say
i would sign if i was you.
emmy the great
jonquil
gossamer albatross
yeah those 3.
You'll need to put up a good fight Diver
for Rolos.
Up yr dukes
;o)
this lot
www.myspace.com/thestateoffloralbeings
sign them up!
this et al
^ agreed
Truckdriver Jnr.
Bolt Action Five
Sabrepulse
but not really because i want them on my label.
wellll
except rolo tomassi they are all free to sign innit? just bully sean.
ps
www.myspace.com/theadambrown
...
Meh, nick Rolo Tomassi off Holy Roar (they're cool, they'll understand), and the rest?
Manatees and Dananan-whatever have the dubious distinction of being 2 of the three bands that I have actually fallen asleep to. During the gig.
YOU! GET OUT!
This is why I don't sign bands on your advice anymore ;o)
x
my bands
www.myspace.com/gnome-defiler2000
www.myspace.com/thelordsofacousticmetal
www.myspace.com/bassssssssss
all of the brink of big things. Get in there now
...
Gnome Defiler!!!
I'd go after Bombay Bicycle Club
but after Jared used to continually harass us about the genius (shrugs) of the Arctic Monkeys... and DiS missed the boat there, I have lost a little faith....
Otherwise, I dunno. I don't check out the myspaces too often like some of the others here.
.
LET OUR ENEMIES BEWARE
future of the left
i like all these bands too!!!
Why do most of these bands
have terrible, terrible names?
i would sign the chapamn family
great north east band
.
New Rhodes
