EP 1- BLACKCRAFT SHOW (UNSIGNED)
Manage episode 482386235 series 3306519
Bobby Blackcraft returns to his roots with the revival of his unsigned band showcase, bringing with him Producer Trey and a renewed mission to spotlight extraordinary underground talent that mainstream platforms overlook.
Drawing from his own experience touring in bands and sleeping in vans, Bobby crafts a sanctuary for unsigned artists who deserve recognition but struggle to find it. "I just felt like it was Black Craft's initiative to help unsigned artists," he explains, recounting how industry insiders once told him "no one cares about unsigned bands"—a claim he's spent years disproving.
Each episode features six meticulously curated bands spanning various rock subgenres, from Gloomchild's emotional screamo to Thirst's face-punching metalcore, Whoremones' Cobain-worthy grunge revival, Lil Used's polished emo resurgence, and Fall Off The Earth's raw energy. The inaugural lineup showcases the striking disparity in visibility among talented acts—from bands with under 1,000 monthly Spotify listeners to those approaching 50,000.
Beyond just playing music, The Black Craft Show creates tangible opportunities through a monthly Battle of the Bands competition offering a $2,000 prize package including cash and endorsement deals. "That could go towards photo shoots, recording... I don't know, go get some new instruments," Bobby offers, understanding exactly what emerging bands need to take their next step.
For listeners seeking their next favorite band before everyone else discovers them, and for musicians looking for a platform that truly understands the struggle, this podcast delivers authentic music discovery with the passionate enthusiasm only someone who's lived the unsigned life can provide.
