The music industry is not a pretty industry.

I have a friend who makes great music and has been trying to break into the music scene, but many agents have told her that she is "too old" to be successful and that her lyrics can be too much for audiences.

Th odd part about it, is she is younger than me and looks great and her style of music fits the scenes today. So...what gives?

This band here seems like they are suffered the same fate. If music is based on appearances, then this band should've made it. They are cute lookin' guys making good music! Again...what gives?

I love this band, I hate this band. I wished so hard they would find success. This song is every grungy rock song ever recorded in the 90’s … this band already had the entire sound of the 90’s knocked … in 1990 … and nobody listened. The industry was in the process of killing all things rock and grunge was not completely a thing yet as Nirvana was not even a known entity except in Seattle. Nirvana, formed in 1987, was not signed to a label until 1990 (DGC Records) and “Nevermind” did not hit the airwaves until 1991 … so there was no benchmark … no roadmap, no crib notes for this sound when SoF did it. I wrote in the DISCORD that this sounds like Collective Soul … and it does, it all does – thematically - from guitar distortion effects to solo sections to key changes … even the video. Well, except Collective Soul is … not great live. Please chime in if you’ve seen them. CS “made it” because they had industry backing, support, and some good studio sound engineers. This band could do it live, you can hear the garage band roots. You can find vids of them just hauling a bunch of acoustic instruments into a radio station and even VH1, and just jamming, sounding wonderful … nearly like they did on the studio recording. Most of that was down to the 2 guitarists featured. Unfortunately both have passed. The leader of the school :p Josh Clayton-Felt (vocals, guitar, drum box) died of cancer in 2000 and Michael Ward (lead guitar, background vocals, drum box) passed in 2024 from complications from diabetes. It’s the same Michael Ward who played with the Wallflowers. The band legend goes … it was dark times for rock. No one was getting signed and the music industry was on the hunt for the next big thing. Radio station KROQ hosted "battle of the bands" with DJ Jed the Fish. His real name was Edwin Jed Fish Gould III, and he was a longtime DJ at the Los Angeles-based station. He was known for his influence on the new wave and alternative music scene in the 1980s and 1990s. Prior to the release of the SoF album the radio station put 3 Strange Days up against a new Rolling Stones song … and due to the state of the industry, lack of guidance, and the radio station's audience largely composed of modern rock fans, they voted for the upstart School of Fish, who gained airplay and attention as a result of their win over the established rock icons. As the DJ’s name was Jed the Fish, the band was dubbed “School of Fish”. Their second album was a complete flop and they disbanded in 1994. Collective Soul got their break in 1993. Grunge was pretty much over by the late 90’s anyway. In 2020 remaining members of the band reunited to pay tribute to Josh Clayton-Felt on the 20th anniversary of his death under the name Lazlo Bane, a great largely acoustic version of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fR1LRzZWE4

I think you're taking P's "approval department" analogy too literally. 😀😀 Re-read his post on Discord. 👍

There was an Alt/Power Pop band from Chicago called Material Issue... they came out in '91 with a couple minor hits "Diane" and "Valerie Loves Me", but suffered the same fate as SoF. I wonder had they had come out a little later, like '94 around Oasis time, if they would have fared better.

Absolutely ... my point with all of this was that a mediocre band made it in 93 and a good band got crushed in 1990. The point in my post about Nirvana is that around 92 / 93 the industry embraced grunge and any grungy band could make it at that point. We unfortunately do not get to listen to what we want ... we listen to what the industry spoon feeds us.

Tell your friend not to give up! An artist is not the product to be sold, unless it's art is worthless...or you don't give a s**t about the art!

Literal or not she got it ... shunned by the industry without reason. Were better than others who got a pass ....
