Information is the key to everything. Knowledge is power and everyone knows it. If you are an artist or you are in a band the one single key to your success is getting your music in the right hands and with a new slew of bands popping up daily it is never more important to be able to stand out from the crowd. Part of this is up to you, you need to make sure your music is more original than anyone else's and you need to have an image and a vibe surrounding your band. The other part is down to contacts and, I would imagine 90% of the world has little to no connections in the music industry.

This is where The Unsigned Guide UK Edition Three comes in for all you lovely people. The team over at The Unsigned Guide have scrupulously scoured the web, the yellow pages and all their own personal databases to give every artist and band the contacts they need to propel themselves into superstardom. I mean it too, this book has EVERYTHING you could ever need even a diary and UK maps. The idea is that this book becomes your musical bible that you turn to for guidance on what to do in your musical career next.

The Unsigned Guide UK Edition Three begins with some editorial discussing the music industry and current trends etc. If you were to buy this book yearly I would imagine that even this would be all you would need to learn about what is happening in the music industry this year. The Unsigned Guide UK Edition Three is made up of 33 sections of contacts that are nicely placed into geographical location where applicable i.e. recording studios.

Some of the best and most useful sections I found to be:

• Record Companies
• Publishing Companies
• Music Services which includes photographers, studios, distributors, PR companies etc (this is the most comprehensive section)
• Live Performance which includes venues, promoters, festivals, uk road maps and is great for DIY bands to organize tours
• Management Companies
• Radio and Press

There are other sections but I skimmed over them as they didn't really apply to what I was doing. Just looking at the list above imagine the uses for this. I am confident that if you invested the right amount of time, money and effort into your band and used nothing but this book that you could become the UKs next superstars (that is of course if your music doesn't suck ass!). Over the coming months I will personally be using this book for my band Bleed Electric . We will be utilizing it to see if we can organize ourselves a bigger record deal, to get press and to find a management company, so I will keep this updated with any status on that.

As you can see from the above example the information for each entity is VERY detailed. I mean they even listed the studio monitors and desk we use at the studio and quite how they got that information I will never know, but it impresses me greatly. I mean what more info could you want if you were looking for a Welsh Recording Studio to use? That's right none. You could quite confidently abandon the internet and replace it with The Unsigned Guide UK Edition Three and would be fine!

There is not really that much more to cover to be honest. In a nutshell, if you are serious about your musical career then The Unsigned Guide UK Edition Three is an ESSENTIAL part of this success. I would even go as far as to say that if you don't have this then you are ultimately not that serious a band. Let me re-iterate my comments earlier. Knowledge is power and The Unsigned Guide Edition Three is the equivalent of a musical Yellow Pages, use it right and we will be seeing you on the TV sooner rather than later.
