Independent Music Conference Director Takes Sonicbids to Task Over Quality Control

Independent Music Conference director Noel Ramos has taken issue with the popular musicians promotional website - Sonicbids.com - over their allowance of a specific website to appear on theirs and offer to review the music of up and coming artists. Though the site is never named by Ramos himself, his target is MoreInTheMonitors.com. According to him, by allowing this site to offer the Opportunity to bands, "Sonicbids has slipped disastrously below the standards that made them the standard."

Ironically, Ramos' own Opportunity, the Independent Music Conference, was removed from the Sonicbids website in March 2007 after he launched a "Bypass Sonicbids" campaign and claimed that the site had "deteriorated into a playground for petulant children". The IMC has also been documented in the book Swimming With Sharks by Bernadette Giacomazzo and Melissa Deskovic (collectively known as Akasha Multimedia). The article takes a scathing look at the event as well as the business practices of Ramos himself.
