    Alright, I want to make these as good as possible so I made a short survey to get feedback on how you want these comps to work. I'd appreciate it if any of you did it. Should take a minute at the absolute most. Thank you! Chorus fm. Comp Feedback

    Thank you everyone for your responses! Helped me out a lot. Someone suggested creating a google doc where anyone can add ideas for future comps, which I thought was a good idea, so I'll create that at some point in the next week. But here's the info for this first comp:

    We'll be doing an any cover goes comp.

    I know some people separate art from the artist and I'm not going to judge them for that, but for the sake of this, please don't submit a cover of an artist like Brand New. So no controversial artists is the only thing not allowed.

    Deadline is: May 17th

    You can submit up to two songs.

    You can also ask friends of yours outside of Chorus if they want to take part.

    Submit your covers to: [email protected]

    WAV or FLAC is preferred, but I'll take any format.

    I can also help with some production stuff if you have no way to mix and/or master your song. Just please get the mix track or stems to me at least a week before the deadline, I can't help with anything submitted later than that due to time restrictions.

    And finally, please include any necessary information in the email (song title, and what artist name you want to go under). This can be anything from your real name, to the name of a band you're in, or just your Chorus username.

    Comp will release 1-5 days after the deadline (just so I have a little wiggle room in case I have a fairly packed schedule).

    Thank you everyone for participating! It's been while since we did this, so I'm excited to get back to it. :-)
     
  12. Just to set the record straight, Bandcamp didn’t delete my account because of Taylor Swift covers.

    I’m excited for another comp! Already racking my brain about which song(s) to do.

    Ah, thought that I read something about that. I’ll retract the Tatay clause then. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Got the drums done to a cover song today. Having second thoughts on doing this song but I’ll record it all and see what I think when it’s done.

    It’s been a few years, but the singer had relationships with underage fans. There may have been some grooming too, but I don’t 100% remember. You can google it. I don’t want to get much into it beyond that though just because of what this thread is. Don’t want it bogged down with the controversy.

    Excited to have you here! Whether you submit or just listen, it’s much appreciated. :-)

    There is never a bad time to do a Jimmy Eat World cover. We could be doing a Lana Del Rey comp and it would still be a good time for a Jimmy Eat World cover. Excited to hear what you do!
