So... this flighty folly we have embarked on at STR/// towers has started to snowball and we need some order to make it work.



Here are a couple of 'Do's' and 'Don'ts' for any of you hungry young bucks out there looking to join our family...



DO///

>>>Email us with your life stories - We love a giggle.

>>>Include links to your websites and myspace pages.

>>>Ask us for a mailing address to send your demos to.

>>>Send CDs along with photos, biographies, gifts and bribes.

>>>Include contact details so we can get in touch with you.





DON'T///

>>>Send us emails with mp3s attached - We don't have the space and our spam filters are quite picky.

>>>Send us masses of mail asking if we've received your tracks or listened to them. We all have manners; we listen to everything and if we like it, we'll let you know.

>>>Send bombs or anthrax. Hate-mail is welcome but we have to draw the line somewhere.




Okay, now you know the rules, here's the gang, get in touch, we all love receiving new demos.






IAN/// Founder. Ian has a history in independent music journalism and has been contributing to online and printed publications for longer than he can remember. Some recent ramblings can be found at Twisted Ear. His DJ alter-ego, Fashion Master Flash can occasionally be found spinning discs at various UK haunts. He likes to think he's a tortured poet but really he's just an arrogant poser. If Radiohead split up, he'd cry like a girl. Contact







SOPHIE/// Art&Design. Sophie is a freelance graphic designer and a goshdarn good one at that. Sophie is responsible for colouring in and most of the pretty stuff we put out has seen a bit of her magic before it reaches you.Contact






EMILY/// A&R. Emily's a fixer. She's kinda like a handicrafts McGuyver, she once made a Pashmina from paperclips and coupled it with bellybutton fluff jumper. Her forte is window-dressing, costumery and stagecraft. If you look real hard, you might see her on telly as well. She particularly enjoys girls what can sing good.Contact






RED/// A&R. Red is a God amongst men. He's the 'go-to' guy. If a book has been written about alternative music, he's read it. He's also a bit of a sick fuck and is eternally searching for the most offensive joke ever written. Red has a pet cloud he calls Gloomy who hovers above him every moment of every day while he listens to Post-Punk records by bands you've never heard of. PS - He's a Commie.Contact






ROMAN/// Video&Design. Roman is a pretty boy. Guys wanna be him and girls wanna kiss his face. Roman is an independent filmmaker with numerous awards under his belt. He makes all the moving flashy animations you see scattered about. His most recent project, the promo video for the Kasms single Taxidermy earned extensive MTV play so he's probably gonna be too showbiz for us soon. If your stuff has dirty synths in it, Roman'll dig it.Contact
