I don't want to say much, but what I will say is it was pretty freaking cool. We managed to get "Hard to Swallow" into the hands of some folks who are supposed to know what our kind of music is all about. The kind of folks who are big enough that bands are super stoked when they get with them, and leave feeling controlled and reined in.
They took the time to call me, we chatted and I hung up feeling good. They aren't working with us but the response was more than encouraging. They proclaimed the record to be "well written", with a "great vibe", and "well recorded". Contact info was swapped and encouragement was laid thick like the guy who's repairing my leaking roof right now is hopefully doing.
Right now I feel this way, I'm sure it will change in time, but...
If nothing ever happens, if the band implodes, if life pulls us away from the path - at least my work (as the chief songwriter) and the hard work of the rest of the boys has be affirmed by at least one person who's supposed to know his shit. At least I can say that the hours and hours, the spilling of guts and the dollars spent were worth it to some extent. Whether anyone hears it or not, at least it "Could have been a contender". I mean, in this day and age who has the time to call some random bunch of hacks to blow smoke up their ass, right?
