What is K.I.L.R.O.Y?
K.I.L.R.O.Y. is a great new way for unsigned bands and artists to generate awareness and gain honest industry advice. K.I.L.R.O.Y., which stands for Keeping the Industry Living by Recordings Of Youth, is a service package for unsigned artists that includes limited specialty radio promotion and general support. K.I.L.R.O.Y.'s purpose is to generate awareness of artists without label backing in the A&R community.
Like a mother lode of mentors, the community surrounding K.I.L.R.O.Y. consists of about 175 key industry insiders ranging from A&R, radio programmers, booking agents, publicists, MTV executives and other industry folks who, upon being presented with music from an unsigned band, will provide career advice and possibly connections to aid the advancement of the band.
K.I.L.R.O.Y. panellists will listen to and score and offer feedback for artist submissions, and panellists may choose to offer individual advice to certain artists. Member artists will be listed as a K.I.L.R.O.Y. featured artist for one full month, and then archived in the K.I.L.R.O.Y. database for one full year.
