JetSpeed Records and Red Galaxy Records have maintained a strict policy to remain silent amidst the slander and personal attacks on its staff. We can do so no longer. The LIES stop here ...THE LINE IS DRAWN ....and now.....the LIES will go no further.
JetSpeed/Red Galaxy Records has NEVER been found guilty of ANY wrong doing pertaining to its business practices. The Music Business is very competitive and cut throat and brings with it, an element that thrives on lies and cheats. We have NEVER been found to be either.
We have strived to work our ASSES off for our artists...With numerous success stories ranging from Nixon Nation to Sky Malone (Stevie Ray Vaughn) we have come through for our artists!
The lies that many a failed artist likes to tell is that we took their money.....and gave them nothing....WHAT A JOKE.....In all cases, we offered production, promotion, publicity, tour planning and song preparation. In most cases, we paid for hotel rooms, photo shoots, food, transportation and STUDIO TIME AND FULL STUDIO PRODUCTION!!.....It amazes us, that to this day, an artist will sign a contract without a clue as to what they agree to! Verbally and in the contract, we advise them to seek an attorney. If an artist meets the terms of their contract....we come through. If an artist TRIES TO CHEAT US....we drop them....THAT IS OUR LEGAL RIGHT......Trying to blame us for their own stupidity is a sign of several things. First, that we need to upgrade our talent review. Second.......we now FORCE an artist to sign a WAIVER stating they understand terms.
Millions of actors and musicians have come to Hollywood seeking their fame and fortune. The actor gets an agent and all of a sudden he thinks he'll have his own TV series in a month and a house in Bel-Air next year. How dumb is that?
What about the musician who gets a record deal with a major label? Gotta buy that Ferrari and all the bling-bling. Sounds good. Superstar $$$. It just doesn't work that way for most acts. Sometimes yes. But 99% of the time NO NO NO. Most bands with any record company are not happy. The last fifty years has seen hundreds of lawsuits regarding a band versus a major record company.They blame the promotions department, or the publicist, or the marketing&merchandising dept. Blame the radio stations, blame the record buying public, anything. It's easy to blame someone else. Instead of where the real faults lie sometime. THE BAND ITSELF.
TRUE TALENT IS UNIQUE AND VERY SPECIAL... THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE JOHN LENNON OR KURT COBAIN!
Another issue is Jetspeed Records receiving demo submissions from Talent 2K. We have NEVER been affilliated with Carlo or Talent 2K. It's too bad when one "bad apple" gives the record biz a bad name. But we are just one label out of many who openly requests demos from bands. So we have to network with many different vendors and "connections" to receive a large volume of submissions, hoping to find the next big thing. Just like from any other source, we got tapes from Talent 2K. That's all, no big deal. WE STOPPED ACCEPTING DEMOS FROM TALENT 2K WHEN WE BECAME AWARE OF THE COMPLAINTS. We never received kickbacks or any other gratuities from Carlos. To tie us into the problems that Talent 2K made for itself is not justified.
We have been a well established supporter of our Local Music Scene...sponsoring multiple artist friendly events,donating time, musical gear, MONEY,and experise to help our proffession!!.....,,,,,,Orange County Music Awards, Inland Empire Music Awards, Right To Rock, National Heart Foundation, .....to name...only a recent few.......To those who question our integrity.......please....show...us what you have done for the music business lately.....WE STAND BY OUR RECORD!
Our goal was to provide a one stop package deal for bands to produce their CD's in Hollywood. Not having to find a studio somewhere, or a photographer and art director, CD presser, etc. We PAY for your hotel. WE Supply all transportation around town, WE PAY the producer and recording studio, WE PAY for a pro photo session, WE PAY for the Art Director, WE SUPPLY our own production staff of publicists and radio promotions, marketing and merchandisers. WE PAY for the CD pressings. Everything that's involved, we handle and take care of. We provide all these services in a lower package price that beats going around your hometown in the Midwest trying to find all these vendors seperately.
We are PROS. We work with other industry pros who have long since grown past the need for helping "beginner artists",,,,,We are talking about MULTI -PLATINUM PRODUCERS AND ENGINEERS...Who HAVE MADE IT BIG ......... They believe in what JetSpeed/Red Galaxy stands for......The facts are: A VERY BITTER artist, already found to be in breach of agreement, has filed a NONSENSE "NUISANCE" suit against us. The so called "MUSIC WATCH DOGS" of the INTERNET WORLD have attempted to line their pockets by attempting to make this NONSENSE suit into something CONTROVERSIAL... This shows that while they claim to be helping the "independent artist" , they are merely trying to " cash in" and gain profit in a FUTILE attempt to slander JetSpeed/Red Galaxy Records. This constitutes EXTORTION...
To these "Vipers", we say this....you will fail, since you have no facts to back up your slander.......to our artists reading this....we stand by you ....AS ALWAYS!!
THE BOTTOM LINE IS - IT TAKES TALENT AND A LOT OF LUCK...
Regards!
