YES. US2S researches music artists from around the world that bring the highest quality, professionalism, commitment, and potential to their writing, performing, promotion, and individual lives. If you or your band believes this descibes you, then we would definately like to hear your best stuff. _________________________________________________________

NO. Our time and energies are a limited asset on a daily basis. Therefore, we promote only those artists US2S believes are "the best of the best", so we can give you our best.
We set high standards of quality and expectation for our artists because we believe Christian artists should lead the way. We have learned that you will become and get what you expect more times than not.
High standards ted to lead to success in life and in music.
To be SIGNED is like going from high school baseball 2 college 2 the minor leagues to the Majors.
It usually takes years of repetitive, consistent, commitments made, kept, and built upon to continue going to each level BEFORE being SIGNED!
It is exactly this high expectation and demand that ensures ONLY "the best of the best" rise to the top.
It takes more than talent, it takes consistent commitment to your craft, a tenacious positive attitude that you are doing what you should be(God is leading you), a never quit attitude and more.
The artists we represent have shown US2S to embody these traits and characteristics that go far beyond great songs, and dig deep into the heart of a true professional Christian music artist.
So when a Label, etc. come looking, they know they can count on every artist on US2S is "the best of the best" in the world! ________________________________________________________

CHECK OUT THE BIG BANNER AT THE TOP OF PAGE 32...WOW!!! WE NEARLY PASSED OUT AT FIRST GLANCE...HOPE YOU VOTED IN THE UPCOMING "BEST OF CCM" READERS POLL...
Congratulations guys. Special thanks to US2S members CCM for the faith in ETO and other members, as well as supporting UNSIGNED & Independent artists. Everyone please show your thanks by picking up your copy today! With your purchase you show how much CCM's support of UNSIGNED & Independent artists means to you.
Also, please stop by and give your kudos to ETO (Exit the Ordinary) for taking another step in the right direction. It's good to see in many cases great all-around artists do get the recognition, when they just keep on keeping on, stay focused AND never say quit! Even through band member changes and personal challenges Tim & Justin just keep plugging forward up that hill..."I think I can...I think I can...I think I can". Oh, yes, you can ETO. US2S knows it, now CCM knows it, AND the rest of the world will soon know it...for good this time! Be encouraged!
Special thanks to SLIDE.com for providing the kewl slideshow. *this slideshow is from May 2006. If you pay close attention, you will notice some changes from then until now. We believe it is important to respect where we have come from and appreciate it, in order to move forward properly, and so we bring this gem out of the archives "exclusively" for US2S members! ENJOY. ..

"BEFORE THEIR EYES" (Findlay, Ohio) (Rise Records)
www.myspace.com/beforetheireyes Before they signed...US2S had them in our top 20 UNSIGNED Bravo! Awards 1st Annual listing. Right "Before OUR eyes" our friends and associate, Rise Records brought them into their rock n roll plether of goodness and launched them to even bigger exposure to their music and message.
Hence, Before Their Eyes icon pic next to Rise Records in our friends listing.

"A PLEA FOR PURGING" (Murfreesboro, TN) (FACEDOWN RECORDS)
www.myspace.com/apleaforpurging
NEW CD HITS STREETS...October 2, 2007.
A PLEA FOR PURGING simply took our breath away at first listen. Facedown Records is a perfect home and fit and we look forward to many excellent songs and performances yet to be written by a band that has mastered the art of blending many styles into one memorable and unique creation.
Heres the "Official" word taken from A PLEA FOR PURGING's Blog...
***April 1, 2007 - Sunday We signed to Facedown Records We're super stoked about joining the Facedown Family. Please do go check out them and all their bands out. God Bless and thanks for your support.A Plea for Purging

CARAWAE (Stevensville, MI) www.myspace.com/carawae
Being looked at by labels, they are currently looking for a Bass Player to complete their amazing lineup. Hope you caught the YOUTH FEST show in June, 2007!
CARAWAE took the best band honors in the annual Youth Fest (Bicentennial Park, Elkhart, IN) during the Rhapsody In Green Festival that draws thousands over the 3 day weekend.

Although the focus of Unsigned 2 Signed Promotions today is on UNSIGNED artists, in the beginning we also assisted and chose a few signed artists that we believed in.

"HIGH FLIGHT SOCIETY" (Cedar Town, GA)
www.myspace.com/highflightsociety
Originally with Selectric records, HFS signed to RKT. Look for HFS to breakout with their RKT release.
HFS writes writes great hooks (think Anberlin meets Falling Up), with passionate, melodic vocals and intensely moving and solid music.
HFS is poised to become nominated for the Christian mainstream "Breakout Artist of the Year" with the right promotion, radio exposure and subsequent tour.
Modern rock just doesn't get any better than High Flight Society. No fillers here. Every song is excellent in it's execution and production.
