Staying ahead of the curve is tough in this fast-paced modern era. One minute you’re extracting your shiny new Apple Watch from its layers of packaging, the next minute it’s passe and you’re looking for the next new thing. This particularly applies to music – bands seem to go from underground obscurity to NPR interstitial music in the blink of an eye.

This is why we’re reaching out to you, the forward-thinking urban trend-setter. You see, Stealing Genius is a pretty obscure band right now, and there’s a very good chance that most people you know have not heard of us. This means that right now you have a golden opportunity to get into us while we’re still obscure, years before we sell out and go mainstream. The bragging rights alone will be worth their weight in platinum.

We invite you to listen to our three-song demo right here. True, it’s a bit of a DIY project, but then this only adds to our “underground artist” credibility:

If all goes as planned, you’ll find yourself humming one or two of these songs offline. A friend or colleague might even ask you what you’re humming, providing you the perfect opportunity to say:

Oh, some band named Stealing Genius. They’re pretty obscure. You’ve probably never heard of them.

We thank you in advance for your consideration.
