Hey everyone!  Very exciting news!  We have signed I AM COMMITTING A SIN!  If you haven't heard them, zip over to their myspace right away and check out their song "Maxims".  They are definitely one of the most talented bands out there right now, none of this cookie cutter metalcore crap that is littering the music shelves.  If you like what you hear, go pre-order the record here -> www.iamcommittingasin.com.  It's only $5.99, and it comes with a free autographed poster.  Support good underground music!  They need your help!

We are always really excited to hear new bands, but before you send us anything, read the guidelines below.

1. Only send us something if you are 100% serious about making music a career. You will have to be able to tour as much as possible, and hopefully you already have a decent tour history. If you are not prepared to do this please don't waste our time.

2. Send us links to your music online, do not attach songs as email attachments. They clog up the email box and are annoying to download and then put into a player etc. A myspace page is preferred because we know how it works. Also, feel free to tell us which song to listen to first (ie. your best song). It's good to know we aren't going to listen to a weird remix version, or acoustic version of something.

3. Generally we discourage sending a press kit in the mail to us as we feel it's a waste of resources that can be more effectively sent online. However, we still accept press kits. Make sure you write on the actual disc your contact info and include a short bio and a photo of your band. There is no point in sending an 8X10 glossy photo, or anything else way over the top. A DVD-R of your band playing is cool too, but only send it if it really shows off your bands live show. A video of you playing to an empty room looking bored is a sure fire way to not get signed.

4. Unlike some labels who only want to hear a few songs, we like to hear as many as possible. Just be sure to put your best songs first!

Email us links to your music to: veronarecords@gmail.com

Verona Records A&R
