Compensation Information

Underground Sound is a channel for the consumer to discover new bands and as such is primarily a promotional channel. When revenues are received from the phone carriers, then artists are paid 40% of the net revenue based on viewership of their video within the channel. These terms would be included in our standard terms and conditions contract that any band would have to accept and sign prior to being accepted. The contract is non-exclusive. Underground Sound can also generate value for any band by creating ringtones, ring-back tones, full track downloads, and wallpapers (i.e. graphics of a band’s logo, or promo shot of the band made into an image sized just for mobile phones). This is a service that is offered for free to selected bands that are getting the most video views and those that are releasing content in the near future to help support any marketing efforts.


Further Submission Requirements

Selected artists must accept Underground Sound’s non-exclusive standard terms and conditions. Video submissions only. Submitted videos must be of a certain standard quality so that both the video and audio are clear. Foul language must be either bleeped out, or excluded altogether (there are moral guidelines when broadcasting material across mobile handsets). If submitting live performances, please break down to the best three or four songs. Complete live sets are far too long to go through and will be rejected. Final video specs must be met and will be discussed at a later date.
