Picky can be good.

I'm very picky when it comes to new talent. Sometimes, it takes me weeks of searching to find something I think is worth mentioning (despite the absolute saturation of the market with up-and-coming "talent"). Here is a band I am truly surprised I didn't stumble across earlier:

Kinch

Kinch is the kind of band that is poised right on the brink of something fantastic, and so far, haven’t garnered too much major-label attention. They’re obviously well-managed and well-promoted, and seem to have a true sense of where they’ve been and where they’re going. They’ve played with bands like The Format and Dear and the Headlights, and are currently touring, as well as performing at SXSW this year. I feel as if they've amassed all the credentials, and are just lacking the catalyst that’s going to push them onto the main stage of indie bands. Their sound is honed and polished, appealing while still being edgy enough to be different, and with a soothing vintage vibe thrown in the mix. In other words, this is a band that has way too much going for them to be ignored by the majors much longer. They are definitely my pick for the group that is going to be snatched by a major label within the next 6 months.
