FEMDemo is FEMMUSIC's answer to the question, "Do you accept demos?" This area will feature links to contact information and a brief description of the featured artist, much like our Artist of the Month. Occasionally interviews will be done with the demo artists.
FEMMUSIC's demo requirements are a demo tape or CD clearly marked with contact information, as well as a short biography and photograph. FEMMUSIC does not guarantee that every demo tape or CD will be reviewed. Demos will be chosen at random. For information on where to mail demos e-mail us at alex@femmusic.com
January 2003 - Arrica Rose
Arrica Rose's The Tone Bank asks to be listened to. The songs have a simple, addictive quality that hints at much more. Rose is an artist to watch, and this is a great beginning. For more information visit www.arricarose.com
August 2002 - Uniting the Elements
Uniting the Elements is an apt name for a band the blends metal, steel, and gold into a fiery rock band. Comparisons are being made to Garbage because of Dawn's red hair, but this band stands alone with character and songs that beg for airplay. The band has a following in the US and Germany. The rest of the world is due to follow.
For more information visit www.uniting-the-elements.comJuly 2002 - Jillian Speer
Jillian Speer was nearly on tour with Jewel this year. Listening to her demo it is easy to understand why. Speer could give the headliner serious competition. Her song "Angel Among Us" is forceful and shoves all other thoughts from the listener's mind. The rest of this 4 song demo begs for a full album and the label salivating for it.

June 2002 - Lisa Gentile
Lisa Gentile's 3 is a pop driven demo that demonstrates creative songwriting. Gentile is a New York singer-songwriter who has an open style. Her songs seem written for AAA radio where they should be played, often. For more information visit www.lisagentile.com
