This seems like a friendly place to look for some advice. I am in a band with friends, and although upon hearing that line, most people are prone to immediately dismissing a chance of talent or potential, I think about music differently from most people. Perseverance, or lack thereof, is the main reason in my eyes that the figure for unsuccessful band attempts is so high, but other than that it's how people aren't willing to move out of their comfort zone and really try new things. I'd say that is essential really as the world doesn't want to hear the same thing over and over, but in saying that I don't mean to criticise having influences, you just need to use them to help you create something you can really call your own. Anyway, I was hoping for any chance of some helpful advice from nobody in particular on how to go about getting what I think is good music with commercial potential noticed. Thanks for reading.
