well, we're trying to make our own video but like i said, it's not going well at all. If we ever manage to make a video then you can go onto youtube and type in Mankind (the name of our band) in the search engine and look for a song called Open Door. |

we're arguing over whether or not we should get one at the moment. me and the bassist are for it but our guitarist and drummer are against it. |

thanks. i think that if we do make it as a brilliant band, holland will be one of the first places we go. our drummer's wanted to go there his whole life. |

I would definitely say to get yourself a myspace. Just keep working hard.I know you'll have heard that a million times but it really is one of the only ways to ever be successfull. You have plenty of time so just concentrate on enjoying it and sucess and a good reputation will hopefully come with time. Use anyone you know in the music industry. Unfortunately (or in some cases forunately) the music industry is very much about who you know. Thats partly why you have some really rubbish bands being signed and some really good bands who are just bashing their heads against brick walls while trying to be signed.
Dunno if this has been helpfull or not but good luck :) |

My cousin works in a recording studio in Glasgow and he's trying to help out as much as he can but he's not exactly the big boss so we're still struggling to get a spot of time there. Thanks for your help by the way. |

| You need to definitely get a presence on the web so if people see you perform they can follow up and continue to feel connected to you. Also, all of you need to practice individually every day and practice (or play out) together as much as possible. You need to be able to play those songs in your sleep. Lastly, you need to really brutal in critiquing yourselves. And have thick skins about others doing the same. |
