tea south

Phillip Hong: TEA CD compilations were of great help in forming a new audience for us here at SRN Mediaworks. Before then, we thought that indie was a less than professional format, but TEA was a great help in proving us wrong by providing us with some of their best. Since we first became partners, our listeners have embraced the professionally produced quality of TEA music. Listen to SRN Live Stream

The Weak Need: I just wanted to say a sincere thank you to everyone at TEA South. When you had initially approached us about TEA Volume 12, we (the band) talked a fair bit about it, and decided to go for it, and are we ever glad that we did. From day one, the friendliness and service from you has been exceptional. There has also been a significant increase in our website traffic and our myspace page as well since the release of TEA 12 which is a strong testament to your dedication and hard work towards putting out a quality product. Thanks so much for everything.

Jonathan Cooke: "Having my song Talk All Night selected for TEA South's compilation CD gave me exposure to press and radio that would have been difficult to obtain on my own. It was also great to be selected to perform at the showcase event at one of Toronto's most venerable rock institutions, the Rivoli. I recommend TEA South to any indie artist who is looking for help and support to break into the music scene."

Bob Rylett: To be included on the TEA South Volume 12 compilation CD has been a fantastic experience. It has exposed my music to many hundreds of contacts in the industry and has opened new doors to explore that I didn't know existed. I have been included amongst great talent that not only increases credibility, but also gives me the drive to write, record and test myself even more. I would recommend to any one given the opportunity, to join a TEA South compilation and see the results for yourself.

China Syndrome: Thanks for all your hard work and we've already gotten some very positive feedback about our track submitted. By the way, the CD itself is great, we're so pleased to be a part of something that's of such high quality.

Mark Healey: As a new artist, TEA south helped me open many doors in the music industry, not to mention, acquiring a very valuable learning experience when it comes to promoting one's music. TEA south has exposed me to many radio stations in Canada and internationally, setting up interviews with the SRN Network and another up and coming interview with KJAG radio in April, 2008. Music has become a second career for me...and TEA south has definately opened up a whole new world for me! THANK YOU! - Mark Healey

Robbie Cooper: I was very impressed by all the quality artists on the TEA Volume 4 compilation CD. Rarely have I listened to a compilation CD of unknown bands and enjoyed the wide variety of talent. Great songs and many genres, this was totally unexpected.
- Robbie Cooper

water on mars: I'm usually the typical around the corner person who sneers at 90 % of the DIY output out there (and I shouldn't, since I'm part of that, but that's another story) but I have to say, this is one really good compilation CD.

Mike Criscione: These guys really go the extra mile to get the job done right. They detected a subtle digital glitch in a master I had submitted for a compilation CD they were producing. The glitch was something that I missed in my haste to meet a deadline. In short, these guys care about your music and find beauty in its details."

Ranj Singh: Since the release of TEA Volume 12 I have noticed a steady increase in traffic on my website. The journey so far has been rewarding and it is a great feeling to know all the years of effort have resulted in adding a bit more spice to the Masala. - Ranj Singh

Jory Rose: I needed to increase my radio exposure across Canada and the world, so I turned to TEA for their promotions / packages / radio tracking services. I have had great responses - from places as far away as Sweden, Netherlands, Australia, etc. Thanks TEA!

An Honest Mistake: Just commenting to say you did an outstanding job on An Honest Mistakes EP "Sunken Ship Sunset". Everyone was extremely pleased with the final results.

Yvonne-Marie Evans: "You start with a vision and a sound that you are aiming for and these guys help bring that vision to life. The sound they can produce from their equipment is anything from a subtle breeze to a thunderbolt in a lightning storm."
- Yvonne-Marie Evans

Scott Helfrich: "I have been performing and engineering for 15 years, and having the boys to watch your back is irreplaceable. You can't catch everything, but with these guys working with you, you can get as close to what you really hear as possible. Along with knowing the equipment and techniques, they also take the time to really know your music. This, as far as I'm concerned, puts them head and eardrums above the rest.
