TOUGH CUSTOMER RECORDS // Getting Bands Past First Base Since 2006
Here at Tough Customer Records, breaking the mold is our main objective. We use a whole new bag of tricks to market and promote our artists’ music and we find them money in places most labels never look. We offer them complete creative freedom and we don’t meddle in the recording process. In fact, we encourage our artists to come to us with completed albums, from which point we operate in an equal, honest, and friendly partnership.
The only real catch is that we’re picky. We won’t get into bed with just anybody. Our artists all play creative, original music and they all have an incredible work ethic. We bust our asses to make each project a success and we expect the same in return. Think you’ve got what it takes to make the Tough Customer roster? Check out our demo policy and we’ll see for ourselves.
Demo Policy
Tough Customer will gladly accept your demos. We like everything, but we’re partial to indie rock, hip-hop, old school metal, dirty basement electronica or any combination thereof. If you’ve got something that you think is original, top quality music, please put it on a CD and mail it to us. Do not send cassettes, 8-tracks, or singing telegrams. We’re not wild about emailed mp3s either.
Tough Customer cannot respond to every demo submission we receive. We listen to all of them, but please don’t hassle us about it. If we like what we hear, we’ll be in touch. Speaking of which, please be sure to include contact info on anything you send.
Thanx!
