… and most of them don’t even want to admit it either.

I understand that bands want to get their music heard and get their stuff out there. I do too, but you really need to get rid of this, “My music is great, listen to it” attitude. The way a lot of bands put themselves out there is crazy, not naming names. A lot of them have to be careful of how they put themselves out there. They’re putting their music out there for the world to hear. If they advertise themselves wrong, they could get themselves screwed down the road. They’re probably already are getting themselves screwed, when they’re not even realizing it.

They need to let the music do the talking. Put it out there and see what happens. Leave your ego out the door and let the people decide if they want to like it or not. That’s how I always did it.

Too many bands strive for publicity and for a bigger fan base.They all want as much local coverage with the press as much as possible, they obsess with interviews and getting on the covers of newspapers. They try to get as much publicity of their music on the internet as much as possible.

They all want to feel like rock stars… the professional interviews, music videos, they call themselves going on “tour”, etc.

Honestly, I don’t need to do all that with my music. I just put it out there and see what happens. I’m proud of the music that I did in the past and I plan on releasing more new songs later this year, hopefully. I never acted like a rock star, over the years. I acted like a local musician enjoying the love of music, that’s all that should matter.

Bands live in this fantasy world that they want to be big. That’s my point that I’m trying to get at. I don’t need to get more publicity as a musician, when all the publicity I can get is right here on my site. I would like more publicity, but if I don’t get it, I’m cool with it. I’ll just continue to do my thing, make music for myself and my true fans who actually support it.
