orange act insigned blah blah blah

i just felt I had to write a post about that Orange unsigned act thing on T4...
as a band we felt it would be pointless to enter a competition like that as it's just like an X factor for guitar music....bands that want a quick route to fame and a record deal!
And after the band that won it last year have disappeared into oblivion doesn't this prove that if you want to get anywhere in the music industry it's hard work, gigging your nuts off and gaining a fan base that will get your somewhere.....
Also there's so many bands on that programme who are sooooooo conceited...they come on boasting about how they're the best band in the world and it's such an unlikable quality to be so cocky and sure of yourself....yeh have confidence and belief in your band but not to the point where it's just sheer arrogance! Why do people think that just coz theyre in a band and wear sunglasses at 2 in the afternoon that this gives them the ok to be complete w**kers!!

Being in a band I meet lots of other bands when we play gigs and stuff and i;ve honestly met some of the nicest people and amazing muscians who are far better than anything you will see on orange act unsigned.... just check out Violet Violet, Fresh Legs, The Kabeedies, Chew Lips for a few examples.
I wouldn't be surprised if none of the bands/singers on this show are never heard of again!
