(28) comments
Don't forget that, starting tomorrow, the new Top Unsigned list comes out.
We will do the schedule like last time. We will start with releasing 10 bands on Monday, 10 on Tuesday and 10 on Wednesday. We will release the Top Ten bands on Thursday and Friday.
Don't forget that we will have a brand new #1 band because Paper Route has been placed on LABEL ALERT.
We will also re-cap the LABEL ALERT bands and offer a few new lists.
Who will be the new #1 band?

More Label Alerts....
(7) comments
TDC is putting one more Top Unsigned band on LABEL ALERT and two non- Top Unsigned bands. They are:
1. The Undeserving (#5) - First appeared on the list in January 2008. They are currently recording their new album.
2. Mercy Mercedes (NC) - This band will carry the "TDC-supported" tag and I really wish we would've found them last year.
3. Breathe Carolina (CO) - This band has a ton of tours coming up. They will share a label with a TDC alumni band.
4. Anarbor (AZ) - We already put them on LABEL ALERT in April but let's do it officially on this list. They will also carry the "TDC-supported" tag.
Remember, the new Top Unsigned list comes out next week!

Interesting Trend....
(12) comments
TDC site visitors know about alumni band Forever The Sickest Kids debuting high on the Billboard Top 200 at #45 this week.
After taking a look at this week's Billboard HeatSeeker chart, The Cab is #1, Metro Station is #5 and We The Kings is #8. The HeatSeeker chart is designated for the top selling (hot) bands that never had an album in the Top 100.
With All Time Low about to breakout nationally, FTSK debuting at #45 and the above bands in the Top 10 on the current HeatSeeker chart, does this show that the poppy/scene movement is about to break commercially?
Are we on the verge of a bigger mainstream breakout?

I've been getting emails about The Summer Set's MySpace being down and asking me if I knew what happened.
I emailed their future label and they said MySpace accidentially deleted their account. It wasn't because of any wrongdoing.
MySpace is getting it restored but it might take a few days.
This is probably the scariest situation facing a band today.

More Acquisitions To Come....
(13) comments
On Monday, TDC broke the national story of Buzznet's acquisition of AP.net. Since then, online media has been so focused on that single story, that it seems they are missing the bigger picture. Everyone should be talking about the possible revolutionary change Buzznet could be doing to online media.
According to DecoyMusic's owner, Buzznet has contacted him and his website.
Remember what one of my sources said? "Many more to come....."
On a side note, Alternative Press titled their Buzznet/AP story, Universal Music Group "Swallows" AP.net. Hmmm....
