Q: Should I send a demo?

A: Don't bother with demos for us, if you want to try to get a big label deal, you are probably just wasting your time anyway sending demos, since they want more than demos, they want a proven track record.  That's why you should finish a record, send Milk Records the finished record, and then send that to the big labels.  Big labels want bands that have made it on a smaller scale, which is what Milk Records helps you to do.  So don't send us demos.
