OK then folks. Well this is My Endeavour . And for those of you that don't know them. They are a group of four fine Gentlemen. From The South Coast of England. That make very fine rock music. They are. Tim Seymour [lead vocals & rhythm guitar]. Mark Linkhorn [lead guitar]. Leon Willoughby [bass guitar]. And Daniel Sheikhian (Shakey) [drums].

And this is their own self-description found at http://www.myendeavour.com/

My Endeavour are a 4 piece hard / melodic rock band from
the south coast of England U.K.

With a shared passion for a great melody and tight musicianship they have become known for their powerful and emotive rock tracks comprised of killer riffs, huge power chords, thundering drums and infectious choruses, that once heard will never let you go.
 
With a growing worldwide fan base off the back of the release of their demo tracks throughout 2007 & 2008, this "rare rock partnership" of melodic and hard rock is set to take My Endeavour all the way to
the top.

In 2007 their demo track Disappear received 2nd place in the international song writing competition run by songprize.com.
Within the same year Losing Sight topped the soundclick.com rock charts.

At the close of 2009 they released, to critical acclaim, their 1st studio single titled The Hunted closely followed by The Fallen in early 2010. With further recordings planned throughout 2010 they hope to have their debut studio EP Re-Invention ready for release later this year.

During 2009 My Endeavour secured some high profile support slots with GUN, InMe, Blaze Bayley, Logan & Attack! Attack!.

The journey continues into 2010 with the focus on recording some new material as well as re-recording and re-working the old demos and with new faces comes a renewed passion for making some great new rock music !



Now what I really want to say here. Is that this fantastic band. Really need a lot of support for their continued music making. By way of us as listener/fans. Buying their great music. You can do this by clicking on either of these pictures. And following the links On their website.





Our great support for the band. Will then hopefully allow them. To continue onwards with their plans for a great new CD. This would have already been released. Had it not been for the current financial situation. This is a harsh reality I know we all have to suffer. But a few pennies or cents from each of us. Will really help My Endeavour go a long way to producing this. In what must be a long-time dream of their's. And a real upcoming pleasure for us.





So finally, I have to say. This in no way makes them charity cases at all no no no. But as with all independent artists. That are without a current record label and contract. They can only support themselves. Through whatever funds they get from us, their listening and music buying public.

So if you know of anyone that can help them in their endeavour. With things such as a record deal,gigs or any sort of sponsorship. Please click on this next picture. And contact the lads as soon as you possibly can please. They will love hearing from you about any positive matter.



But please most important of all right now. Is that these great fellas. Get to give us what we really want right now. And that's an excellent debut album. On both CD & Digital Formats. And then this can all become a reality.

Please click on any/all pictures. For more information. They are all hyperlinked.
Thanks to you all that read this. And really help this great band. More profiles coming soon.........

Just got an earful of The Hunted by My Endeavour. Man, this band have some potential - and in spades. In a world awash with manufactured crud, instant psuedo 'fame' and a dearth of original thinking, the band stand out like a beacon of what-is-to-come. Okay, so they ain't filling arenas (yet) but this is the kind of band you need to see now, in some sweaty in-yer-face nightclub, rafters shaking, floor bouncing and your ears ringing for days afterwards. My faith in the modern rock idiom is almost restored....Don't just stand there - BUY THE ALBUM!

OK so first of all I'm just checking. To see if you're all alive & well out there.

Are you knackered with just 10 days to go until Christmas?

OK well those of you that have also joined us in Unsigned Christmas. Will know that we now have 17 very fine tracks there to listen to until January [The 5th I hope].

But for those of us here in The UK. This is the one we want to chart. this coming Sunday. Here is my unilaterally copied message to everyone.

OK well everyone seems to be backing something or someone. For a real XFactor alternative UK Christmas #1 this year. So here's my tip Please follow the link. And then click on the top line. That will take you through to ITunes where you can buy this. http://www.cliffmas.co.uk/ OK so it's a pop song. But at least it's real. By real people. Those being Detox Cute And The Beauty Junkies from Brighton. And it's an original composition by the pair of Popsters themselves. And not some rip-off song that has already been flogged to death. By the so-called popular radio stations. Anyway please help if you can. And do please share it on too. It's only 79p. As you'll see through the ITunes link. And every little helps these Unsigned artists stay in music. Thanks to all that do help. And help spread the word. We only have a few days to do this. So please do make your reaction a speedy one. many thanks from Mike.

Also if you still have some pennies or cents left after all that Christmas shopping. We'd love for you to buy this if you could. http://www.kateandafter.com/ In there you will see the brilliant Christmas goodies. that excellent Swedish band Kate and After have to offer. And the brilliant CDS Snow Angel. If you don't have it already. Please do go and buy it from them.

These are the only Christmas singles that members of our Unsigned groups. Have to sell this Christmas. As far as I've been made aware of. Although there are plenty of other songs,EP's & albums around. That most of you will be aware of.

For those of you that aren't But really want to help your favourite Unsigned artist. Please do ask me. And what I don't know. I will find out.

OK well last but not least. And while we're on the subject of favourite Unsigned artistes. There's the no small matter. That there are are some Unsigned awards going on right now. And right across all our Unsigned groups here.

Please do join all our groups and get yourselves involved. We won't be the one's to blame. If YOU leave it too late to vote for YOUR favourite artist. By golly I have told people enough about all this.

Voting is open to artists and listeners alike. But we do ask that artists don't vote for themselves [ha I'm stating the obvious now] And it should all be quite clear now that I got the ball rolling on all of that.

OK well what's left to say? OH yes do please have a great Unsigned Christmas 2009. And a very Happy Unsigned New Year 2010. And for those of you that don't celebrate it. We hope you have a great time anyway.

But we do hope that we can transfer a lot of you to group. The New Independent Once you do get signed to a nice friendly record label. That's what all you great Unsigned artists really deserve. OK well have a great one from DEMS4. Byeeeeeee.xxx

From Unsigned Christmas OK well I hope these rules are the fairest they can be. For our new fun awards for Unsigned performers. That can be found here on last.fm. As I have put in the heading these are amendable for about a month. But I am sure everyone will understand. That this can only be suggested to. And carried out by one of the group's co-leaders. These are Acuvi sussilo scramuss and myself vjsupersaint
This hopefully will save us from wholesale mayhem and confusion.

Please do not use this thread for amendment suggestions. Please approach one of the afore-mentioned leaders. Failing that please use the shoutboxes within any of our groups. OK so just a few rules then.

1] All Unsigned artists with music on last.fm are eligible for nomination. However they must have at least one full preview. And/or at least one free download track available for listeners. To help us all to decide on what to vote for.

2] Any artist nominated. Must be a member of at least one of our Unsigned groups. This helps everyone in so many ways. But mainly these points. The artist gets a track connected to the group's *playlist*. The listener gets to hear and enjoy that track. And all members are able to communicate with each other through threads or shoutboxes.The leaders can also multi-message all members if neccessary.

*In the Chrisrmas group all tracks are supplied. And even especially made for the group. By the artists themselves. A sure sign that Unsigned artists are the most generous in the world.*

3] Suggestions for nominations can be made by any group member. And approved by one of the group leaders. But please keep this sensible. A limit may have to be applied in an amendment. Of maybe 5 or 10 maximum nominations per member. This all depends on the amount of support this multi-group project gets.

4] Artists may not nominate themselves. Your fans/listeners/friends will do this for you. If they are a member. You can nominate a fellow artist. Again they do have to be a member of one of our groups though.

5] For the sake of group harmonies. Under no circumstances will a nomination for. Or votes by an artist[es] that have made trouble for fellow artists. Or indeed for any listener on LastFm be accepted. Any complaints received. Will have to be investigated by one of the group leaders. In other words, please show one of us the proof of this. I'm really sorry that we have to imply this rule. But it hopefully acts as a good safeguard for all members.

6] For goodness sake. Please have fun with this. And share us with as many of your friends as you possibly can. Nominees will be accepted until December 31st 2009. And the winners announced on some cold night in what is renowned to be the most depressing month of the year. That being January 2010. Please can we have some suggestions for a date in our shoutboxes thanks.

From Mike vjsupersaint .

If I have missed some please forgive me. As we have had a lot of new additions to our group's in the last month. So not all of them may be listed here.
Please see our group's, Group Connections for even more details. We have 7 of them altogether.

Also if you are, or know of an Unsigned artist. that would like to get involved. Please do let us know.

Artists are also invited to add tracks to our Christmas group. Be it original,a cover version or a track that you have lying around collecting dust. As long as it's by you we don't mind. And we'd all love to hear it.

Thanks for reading. And please lend us your support with this. There will always be Unsigned artists with great Unsigned music around. And for us, "Unsigned is not Unloved."

This may well be my last journal of the year. So have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
All the best to you all from Unsigned Christmas Unsigned Australia 'Unsigned UK' Unsigned America 'Unsigned Europe' 'Unsigned Asia' 'Unsigned Africa'

Additional Information. 6th November 2009.

OK well I'm very almost ready. Are you? The awards are finally finished. Although I will add more if someone can think of a really good one. Or indeed one that I may well have missed.

And artists please let all your listeners know. And listeners please share this with all your friends here. Hopefully this will make this a great and meaningful bit of fun. For a couple of months this winter.

Now no-one has actually given us a proposed date for this. Although I did ask. So I propose either Sunday 17th or 24th january 2010.
This will help keep the traditional post-Christmas blues away I hope.

Now as for voting. How about we start on Sunday 8th November 2009. And close on Sunday 10th January 2010. This gives us a full 2 months to listen to and vote for our favourites. With plenty of time to listen to all our Christmas favourites during December too.

So as you can all see. That gives us a week or two just to check that everything is right at the end. And that we are suitably well in anticipation of results night.

Now here is how our votes should look with a little sample here. Using bands as an example.

1. My band-10pts.
2. Your band-7pts.
3. Her band-5pts.
4. His band-3pts.
5. Our band-1pt.

The top five scores of 10-7-5-3 & 1. Will be universal right across all our groups. I was going to create a league table. But with around 400 connected artists. Over what is now 8 groups. That would be just impossible. So if anyone can make this better. Please let us know how.

I did try experimenting with a few ideas to help make this easier. But of course none of it worked. I'll copy this to the 7 participating groups that we have. But please see carefully via our connections as these are all the nominees. And via the awards threads in each group. As this is what we are voting for.

Not all connections are active here on LastFM. But rest-assured awards only go to those that are. This is why we need a week or two at the end of the voting.

Hope everything is crystal clear now.
Regional groups and this [world group] have these categories.
1. Cup for favourite artist.
2. Trophy for favourite band.
3. Four awards; Two for vocal solo performers. Female & Male. And the same for Non-Vocal solo performers. In the regional groups. The vocalists and non-vocalists are combined.
4. Best Music Video.
5. Best Songwriter.
6. Best Song. [Up to & including 2009]. This will be yearly from here on in.
7.Best Album. [Same rule applied as in category 6].
World Awards ONLY!
8. Best Christmas Song.
9. Smiling Through The Music Award. And finally!!!!!!!!!
10. The Music Award.

Explanations should all be with each award. So there's no confusion among us. I apologise now. That I can only use English as a language in which to say all this. So thanks from the four of us. To all that take part. Please leave all your votes in the threads marked. Voting for Unsigned Awards 2009. I will bracket all these as to where to place your votes. i.e. [World] for this one. [UK] for UK and so on Etc.

Have great fun with all this. over the next couple of months. And please support any artist you can in our connections. And please don't forget this our Christmas group. With all it's artists and music. OK that's it then. Come Sunday 8th November [this Sunday]. Let the mayhem begin. Many thanks to all of you from all of us.

Hi All !

The full studio version of the new My Endeavour song 'The Hunted' is now available to listen to on LastFM here:

http://www.last.fm/music/My+Endeavour/Re-Invention/The+Hunted

Add it to your libraries and playlists and leave a comment with your thoughts !

The official release date is T.B.A. so this an exclusive preview for LastFM listeners !

M_E

Oh, follow us on Twitter here: My Endeavour (Twitter)

My Endeavour

Right well here's the UK section of great music that you may never even have heard of from group. 'Unsigned UK' But first of all I need to add an amendment to the Europe section.

sussilo Or DJ Sussilo as she now is. Has a show that is broadcast from warm web radio. And it is on from 2200-2300 on Fridays and 2100-2300 on Saturdays. These timings are of course CET. So British and Portuguese listeners will need to take it as an hour earlier. Worldwide listeners will have to check their clocks. I believe these are temporary timings until the station is up and running fully. So you'll need to check back regularly on that. And also we all know that Susanne is an avid supporter of unsigned artists. So once the station is fully underway. Let's plague her station manager. And tell them what she really loves to play on the radio. I can highly reccommend the show as it stands though for all listeners of pure rock and it is called Facelift.. OK well let's hope we can support Susanne with the same appreciation. That she supports music. here's the link. http://rock.warmwebradio.com/#home

But please note that this programme is not on air this weekend. So normal service will resume on Friday 9th October 2009.

OK so on with news from 'Unsigned UK' then.
All artists mentioned are in the order that they were found here onLastFM. And are in no preferential order.They come from a wide range of genres right across the music spectrum.

So hopefully there's at least one artist here for everyone to like or love. Please at least give them a listen. As all artists mentioned are unattached to any record labels and yet still manage to make great music. All without the safety of being funded by anyone but themselves.

It's oh so very wrong. But it's only us avid listeners and buyers of their music. That can make it noticeable. And redress the balance in what has become the cutthroat world of music as it is today.

Now just before I leave you our list. I have to say that I have been approached by a considerable amount of music artists on myspace. I can't advertise how good or great they are if they don't do it themselves. I'm not being harsh, just realistic. LastFM is where music is much more easily heard. Without knocking most people's internet browsers completely out.

All these artists are courtesy of either the artists themselves. Who have made themselves known to one of us. Or found by one of us. Us being in alphabetical order: Acuvi scramuss sussilo & Myself vjsupersaint

OK well here's who we love to listen to in our group 'Unsigned UK' And all artists are in the order in which they were added to the group. Let's home some of you can at least listen to some of them. They are not greedy they just need to be heard. Thanks to you all that do from Mike.

OK so that was a very long list. But we do have more. Just not streamable or downloadable from last.fm Perhaps now you can understand the magnitude of artists that are left without. Because most of you will either stay well within your safety zone. And only listen to what you know. Or only listen to what names are being mentioned by friends at school/college or at work. Or just buy what you think is cool to impress your mates. Because the media told you it was.

OK well I can't change that on my own. But at least now you've been told by someone else. Who will not only listen to these artists. But will support them as much as is humanly possible. Please try and do what you can for any of these artists. Before you turn round and find they are no longer there. Because they can't afford to carry on any more. Without the financial backing to do so.

Thanks for reading and keep enjoying the music. Please feel free to come and join us in this and any of our Unsigned network of groups. Here on LastFM. Bye for now from Mike.

OK then, well I think it's high time that someone stood up and shouted nice and loud about these unsigned artists. Because while most people are supporting the rich and the famous in music. There are still an awful lot of artists here on last.fm. That are being overlooked by listeners as well as the music industry. And it's not like they even deserve this treatment. Unsigned music is a genre in itself. That crosses a number of many genres, with appeal for listeners of all ages. Many of these artists also give away a lot of their music. Or at the very least make it available as a full preview stream. So once you've listened and found that the unsigned. Are not quite the leper's colony you thought they were. Then at at least you know what you like. When they make a buyable CD or digital download. This in turn keeps their music alive. And keeps us as avid listeners very happy.

OK so here's a few of those great artists that I've been eluding to here

TheTrees Now this band are from Basildon in Essex,England. Home of some of Britain's national music heroes. And these fellas should be no different. Top soundalikes for me. I would say are The Charlatans and The Stone Roses. So fans of either of those bands should find TheTrees a great listen. But as with any or all of these artists. You really need to make up your own mind. The Home Guard are my favourite band from Peterborough,Cambridgeshire England. Come to think about it,they're the only band I know from there. But anyway these good chaps have their second album now available to pre-order here http://www.thehomeguard.info/preorder.html
And for £5 if you get in quick this has to be an absolute bargain. But I would highly reccommend paying the £11 for both albums.


If you don't own the first one already. These two young men just don't make bad music. And are well worth every bargain penny you spend on them. The Silver Wizard Project Well I believe that new music by this great band from London,England. Were due to start soon. But unfortunate circumstances have meant that this has had to be postponed for the time being. But don't let that stop you listening to these good people. There are free downloads and fully streamable songs-a-plenty on their page. All worth a listen at any time. Terry Springford Terry is from Melbourne,Victoria,Australia. Terry's music is both heartfelt and sometimes heartwrenching and speak a lot about a journey through love and how life can be.


I feel a lot can be learned about Terry. Just by listening to the heart and soul that he puts into it. All him music is available on free download. And a singer of his quality really deserves to be listened to by a lot of people. Gina Moryson whose current project is Sax & Moryson among a few other of her projects. Is from Essen in Germany and is a highly talented saxophonist amongst other many talents. Candy Dulfer and Mindi Abair fans alike. Will find Gina's saxophone especially exciting and highly enjoyable I feel. Gina is also a very generous lady. That makes a lot of her music available free for streaming or download. Daniel Chappell Daniel is an absolute delight to listen to. Generous to a fault. As he also makes all his current music freely downloadable. So I can only Imagine that there are very many relaxation classes around the world all now playing his music. He comes fom Utah but lives in California USA. He has never been trained but still makes music. Pretty amazing considering how really good he makes it all sound. Daniel also runs two groups at this current time.

Which I feel are well worth a mention. There's the Unsigned America group. Aimed at artists from The American continent but open to all. And with some highly listenable artists connected to this group. He also runs the Unsigned Christmas group. This is aimed at artists and listeners from around the globe. That have any interest at all in seasonal music of this kind. The Scrooge's among us can bah humbug all they like. But this is a seriously fun group that encourages all unsigned artists to compose or cover the songs. That make Christmas season so very special to so many people. There is an artist page to compliment any songs supplied by any artist too. More information can be gathered through Daniel himself. Or through Acuvi, Sussilo or myself. And I would highly encourage this from all you seasonal listeners and unsigned artists. Brendan's Band Brendan's Band consist of Brendan McCreary,Steve Bartek,Jon Schwarz and Bryan Taylor. They are from somewhere in the USA. And sound like a fine mix of Freddie Mercury,Mika and Maroon 5. add that in with a sound that is very definitely all their own and there you have it. They are a top quality band with a sound to behold and I hope will go a very long way. Currently in the process of recording an album due for release in Autumn. So keep an eye open for that. I'm pretty sure it will be worth every penny,cent or whichever currency you use. Their current music is fully streamable so miss out on this great band at your own loss.

John Laval John is from Carlisle,Cumbria,England. And I think is also in the process of recording an album right now. His Stories EP is available for free download. And is well worth listening to. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself. Steem Steem are from The Netherlands [Holland]. And make just brilliant music. The band are also in the process of recording some new music. But have 8 songs freely available here. I can't speak highly enough of their music it is that good. And they are a firm favourite of mine from the European mainland. All of you that don't listen to this fantastic band are definitely missing out. My Endeavour Tim and the boys are mostly from Southampton,Hampshire,England. They're are currently touring and are due to headline at The Fahrenheit Festival in Wimblington,Cambridgeshire this weekend. If you can get there at all I would reccommend that you do. They are not dissimilar to Linkin Park or maybe even Pendulum. But have a style and voice that can definitely only be that of their own. And as you can see they have an album due out on December 7th 2009. This will be well worth the money too. But they also have some free downloads you can listen to in the meantime.

Detox Cute And The Beauty Junkies Paisley and Charlie are making pure pop serious fun again. They are from Brighton in Sussex and London,England. Charlie the great musician and Paisley the beautifully endearing voice are two of the most enthusiastic and generous people in music around today. Among the first artists to get so involved with the Unsigned Christmas group. This pair of popsters, really deserve a great longevity in the world of music. They are currently involved in at least two big projects to be revealed at a later date. And have at least four fully streamable tracks and three videos available on here to watch. I wish these two beautiful souls every success in the future. As they are an absolute credit to the music profession. Rook and The Ravens This Manchester, Lancashire,England band are also really very good. They have 1 free download and 4 full streams available here that are all quite different and appealing. Well worth listening to in anyone's book.

Also hailing from Manchester are Ten Bears They have several fully streamable tracks available here. And are also due to do a couple of gigs at the Camden Barfly in London. One in September the other in November this year. They are also very worth any listens you can give them. Ten Tigers This band come from Essex in England. They have some downloadable tracks and streamable one's that just need to be heard. I think they have a bit of an unusual sound. that is quite hard to genrelise. Temple Scene Now this electro-guitar duo. Landed on my page here very recently. And now I am saying they really need to be heard. They are Philippe Rose and Ric Levy and come from London,England. And I really don't think I'm wrong in saying that they are brilliant. They have quite a few fully streamable tracks here. So do give them at least a listen. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Guiye Frayo This unusual sounding pair come from London,England. All I'm saying is give them a listen you might like them or love them.

John Zealey John has to be one of the best British male solo voices that is unsigned today. I don't know why either because he deserves a lot more. He has several songs avilable to download or stream. So use him or lose him. Cancel The Astronauts are from Edinburgh,Scotland. They make music not unlike a lot of their famous fellow countrymen around today. And their great mix of free and streamable tracks are all worth listening to here. From Göttingen,Germany come Minorcracy Always great to hear and currently with 3 free downloads are well worth a punt. From Gothenburg in Sweden come Kate and After Now if there's a better band from Sweden this year. I haven't heard them yet. they are currently touring in Sweden now. And have a few tracks here available for free download. Aaron king are from Brighton in England. And have a few tracks here for free download. Among their listed influences here. Are The Beatles and Kate Bush. When they've married those two together on a track of theirs. I definitely want to hear it. And I bet you do too.


martino vergnaghi is a true gentleman artist from Italy. His generosity again cannot be faulted at all. With several streamable tracks here that are both ambient and beautiful. They are very much worth several listens. Martino was another artist that was very quick to allow a track for the Unsigned Christmas group and page. He is currently recording an album which I hope will get many sales. He really deserves it. Heritage Centre are from Ireland. They have several highly listenable free downloads on here. And surely have to be worth it. Stars and Sons are a 4-piece band based in Brighton,England. they have several free downloads and 1 full track on here. I really like these guys. Their music is good for all to hear.


Colours Run are another Manchester band with the exception of Tim who is from Liverpool. I really like this band a lot. So again listen or lose out. They have quite a few tracks split equally between streams and downloads. And I wish them every success for the future with their great music. Unsigned Christmas was set up by a group of listeners who want to hear something a little different and better this Christmas. We are hoping that generous artists make generous listeners. Unsigned Christmas I hope that a lot of you can see your way clear to joining this fantastic group. Let's make music this Christmas that much more better.
