I'm so glad you enjoy these artists. Yeah, well. I'm making a name for myself, so I've put myself in a position where the bands seek me out. I don't contact anyone unless they make the cut. I get about 25 submissions per week and I screen each artists based on Composition, Production, Arrangement, Performance, and Hit Potential. For bands like Hellborn Militia sometimes, I'll make a special exception. It just depends on the music. They aren't the top band I would normally choose, but they just made the grade. Besides, the band that was supposed to be featured today flaked on me, so I gave them the boot for breaching the contract. I may still put them on, but they have to give me what I ask for, like call-in during our scheduled interview date, plus answer my questionnaire. It's not an easy business. Because I have the artists appear on the show, I plan weeks in advance. It's not like a radio station where I have a play list. The appearing artist is the playlist. So, that's my job in a nutshell.
