| HHH
Special: Anti-Hero Interview |
antiMusic reports: Last week Mark reviewed
Anti-Hero's album Unpretty to conclude the HHH Special, Mark spoke
with the band about a variety of topics. Here is a small excerpt of the
interview where the band discusses hitting a brick wall when trying to
get airplay on MuchMusic.
HHH: I've seen on your Myspace that you
have self-produced a music video for "Unpretty," and that after you submitted
it to Muchmusic it was rejected. Why do you think that it was rejected?
Is it possible the song's decidedly marked commentary on social norms concerning
conceptions of beauty is in itself rather "unpretty?" In other words, is
touching on this subject so honestly hitting a raw nerve, and thus holding
your band back from greater recognition?
Rose: That's definitely a possibility as
some of the material presented in the music video and the song itself could
be seen as controversial.
To be honest, they were fairly vague with
their reasoning and it appears that it was a case of corporate politics
as they suggested to us to start touring, get our cd in stores, get media
attention, and radio play -- well, if they bothered to look at our website
or the press kit we submitted along with the music video, they would have
known we have done ALL of that and continue to do so.
They also suggested to us to get a VideoFact
(a program which is run by Much) to assist with future videos which further
indicates that we need an "in" in order to get airplay on their station.
For that matter, many of our friends in independent bands who have self-funded
their videos have experienced the exact same treatment. Co-incidence? I
think not.
Regardless, they can't stop our fans from
requesting it and we hope to demonstrate that consumer demand is more powerful
than corporate politics. [Check out the full story link for the full interview
and if you have a band, keep an eye out on Wednesday for a special announcement
about Hensch's Hometown Heroes!]
