I agree with Philly. Music critics are a hard bunch to please at the best of times. I'm sure the the music you're into has plenty of hard to please critics having to wade through lots of music that doesn't cut the mustard for them. It does sound from reading that, that you and your mate from Sheffield could be onto something big. I wish you all the luck in the world. I remember a piece of advise that the guitarist John5 gave in an interview around 5 years ago. Something like, do something everyday to make it happen, a phone call, letter, email to the right sort of people. I'm not sure if that's obsolete now, given the way the music industry has been revolutionised but it makes good business sense.
Put yourself about and get some gigs!
