You Only Meant Well

So, I'm going to change it around a little bit. I'm going to give my respect to unsigned bands.
I love listening to small local, or unsigned bands. There is just a certian rawness to their sound and the comforting fact that they don't have thousands of girls and boys sticking their hands down their pants to pictures of them. Also, there is a certian satisfaction that when you have obscure bands listed on your 'music' section and someone asks you: "Who the Hell is Evan King?" I just love that.
Oh, and you have to give these bands props that they are trying their fucking hardest to get fans and get known. And it sure as hell isn't easy. And not only do they have the guts to not only request someone they only know by their picture && being brave enough to post their heart and soul in the form of a beat and a voice on public websites. I know if I was in a band and used all of the songs that are taking up space on my computer's harddrive because I haven't put them to use then I would be scared as fucking Hell to have someone judge them.
Yea, I know, I know. Big bands also put their heart and soul into their songs, but usually small unsigned bands consist of teenagers still pulling through their last years of tortue known as 'High School'. To be judged at school and on the internet by people you don't even know has got to take a real level-headed person and someone who is brave.
I give props to all you small bands.
You deserve it.
