Demo Submission

Yes, we do accept demos. We won’t lie to you, we don’t release a lot of records each year and we are very picky, so unless you already are talking to us, the odds aren’t all that great.

Jello Biafra is the final word on which bands we sign. He is very busy, but he generally tries to listen to most of the demos he receives.

If you would like to submit a demo; please send it to:

Alternative Tentacles Records
P.O. Box 419092
San Francisco, CA 94141
attn. Jello Biafra

He does not accept mp3s. He will not go out and listen to your mp3s on the web. If you are interested in having Jello hear your music, you need to send him a CD, tape or vinyl.Sometimes Jello replies to people submitting demos; sometimes he doesn’t. There is no way for us to check on your “status”, so please don’t ask.

We cannot return your demos either, so please don’t send us your originals or ask us to send them back.

Thank You and Good Luck

[lead]Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean.[/lead] Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then she continued her way. On her way she met a copy. The copy warned the Little Blind Text, that where it came from it would have been rewritten a thousand times and everything that was left from its origin would be the word "and" and the Little Blind Text should turn around and return to its own, safe country. But nothing the copy said could convince her and so it didn’t take long until a few insidious Copy Writers ambushed her, made her drunk with Longe and Parole and dragged her into their agency, where they abused her for their projects again and again.
A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then she continued her way. And if she hasn’t been rewritten, then they are still using her.
