DEMO POLICY

So you're interested in sending a demo to Missing Words? Well first off I'd like to say thanks for even considering us, it's very flattering. In this section you'll find some information and other pointers about sending in demos. First off, Missing Words is a super small label run by one guy with a little help from friends and family. That being said, you can probably imagine that we don't have a huge budget. For that reason we have to be really picky about the bands we decide to work with. We have to absolutely LOVE your music to release you're album. We get a lot of demos that are good, the kind of CD that I would buy for myself and listen to, but still we're unable to sign them. So don't get discouraged if you're turned down.

While we would love to be able to reply to each and every demo we receive, that has become just too time consuming. Since it takes a lot more effort to send us a CD, we promise to reply personally to each and every CD demo submission we receive. We usually try to get the bands a written response within a month of when we received the demo. It doesn't always work out that way but we try our best. We do guarantee that we will listen to every e-mail or MySpace submission that we receive but we will only reply to submissions that we really enjoy.

Physical (CD) Submission Guidelines:

• Send no less then 3 songs on CD.

• Enclose a short bio with your submission. It doesn't have to be long and involved, a page or so is fine. Also if you've toured in the past, a history of where you toured, when, and who you toured with would be appreciated.

• We're looking for bands that are willing and able to tour. We understand people have school and work but if you can at least tour in the Summer and Winter then that's cool. If you can't tour please don't bother sending a demo.

• Demos can be sent to the following address:
