We listen to every demo. Each one that reaches us the right way gets played in full — we never skip a track that's been sent properly.

What we skip on sight — without listening — is a demo with a file attached instead of a link, or with other labels in CC. Both tell us our guidelines weren't read, and that's an instant pass.

If you don't hear back — a yes or a no — it's not because we didn't listen. We just can't reply to every email that lands. But we open, read and play them all. Silence isn't a verdict.
