The Unsound Series exists to make great home-recorded music available to the general public. Some amazing material is being created in kitchens and basements all over the world, and it is our goal to see to it that the best of it gets heard.We want to hear your music (any genre is fine) so send us a tape! Power pop, pure pop, classic pop... these terms have come to describe a very narrow musical form, and we would like to change that. Volume 1: Pop! is about variety.There are shades of early Mersey beat, "We can play our own instruments, thank you" Monkees, XTC... it's all here on one volume. Thanks to the artists who appear on this CD - they are the adventurers who have re-introduced us to pop the way it is meant to be.

The above is basically the facts on Just Plain Folks. The reality of the group is in the support it gives. Brian Austin Whitney the founder, continually gives words of wisdom to the memebers. And they are words of wisdom. They are not white washed vague sayings that might make you feel better for the moment. They are 'reality' checks that would benefit anyone. He gives a foundation to work from. A way to sort through any rejections and get past them. If you are interested in music in anyway, it is a great place to either get help or help others. A place where the people will take the time to answer your questions and give you guidance. They are a group of people that really care about all aspects of music. Check it out! It is well worth your time!! |
