Most of those hardcore/Post Rock bands just plain can't get signed because they just can't do catchy hooks. Simple as that.

Can't do catchy hooks? Try don't want to, because shock-shock they don't care about being Maroon 5.

Yeah I do, they are and were talented musicians. Writing a pop song isn't hard, they just choose not to. They don't play post-rock and hardcore because they're too untalented to play anything else.

They're plenty talented, I just don' think they offer the right image that record companies want.

Really? That's strange. Doesn't help either of our points then.

Who says they can't get signed ?

If you are working with an independent where you know the people and can operate at a level that you are happy with and where you have total control over your music why would you want to sign for one?

Record companies make a profit , they don't care if it's with catchy hooks or unlistenable rubbish they'll put out whatever sells.

But Post-Rock and Hardcore don't sell all to well, do they?
