Some great advice here and view points about TAXI.
I think there may have been more discusssions about Taxi here than anything else.

It's a very very simple thing to decide.. ask yourself What am I doing with my music?
And who do know that I can send it too? If the second questions answer is No One then Join TAXI

Most impotantly it will get you going, and learning about submissions, deadlines,
demo's, you'll get critiques. All good stuff for you to be doing. And they are honest and on the up & up.

I like you do not write Country songs. I write Rock/Alternative songs which sound like a band, many bands actually.
So the biggest thinh you want to look into is Film & TV placement. Cause friend you have no where else to go.
I used to be a member of TAXI... I was lucky enough to get a Forward on my Third submission. Never heard a word past that forward.
I have no funds to re-join Taxi at this time. That's the tough part about Taxi as well
Once you get passed the screeners it gets screened again by the people who posted the placement add.
I have exhausted this area and angle....

But The most important thing you have to do with your style and approach is SOUND really good. Don't make a dozen songs half strength, make a few and polish them up strong.

I have thread on the Songwriters Board called The Art Of Writing Vague (film placement) check it out. It even has a movie clip that one of songs is in for you too see.

Best Of Luck I'll look for your material on the boards, if I hear it I can help out more
hopefully.
