mytexasmusic.com Review

We appreciated your comments about review posting, but wanted to alert you to something you may not know. While moderate-to-negative reviews are NOT automatically posted, they are indeed passed on directly to the artist so that "constructive criticism" can "allow them to grow". So your efforts are not wasted - your obvious concern about the band's welfare is noticed. We are an organization that supports our members, and the members support each other.

You would be surprised at the amount of horribly nasty reviews that people post - most have nothing to do with the music itself - rather just personal attacks on band members that have nothing to do with what MTM is all about. If we had a system in place that automatically posted reviews, we would have to spend time that we don't have to go over every single one and spend even more time removing the ones that are cruel or unkind - and we are a volunteer organization. Many of our members are here because they are tired of being subject to automatic posting. That's what makes us different. (Kind of like "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all...") I guess it all comes down to why people post reviews in the first place - it is obvious that you really do care about helping the guys grow musically, and that is why your email was forwarded to them directly - we were instructed by them to post it, and that's why you see it here. It's too bad the bad apples ruin it for everyone else! If, as you mentioned, your friends all post negative reviews that aren't getting posted, you can let them know that as long as it is about the music, it is forwarded to the artist themselves, who I'm sure appreciate the feedback, and who have the final say whether or not that particular review is posted.

Additionally, Highspeed Hayride must be doing SOMETHING right, because they are nominees for the Rising Star Award at this year's annual MTM Texas Music Awards.

Add a review	I work at a bar and so I hear a lot of bands. The best bands get to come back to this bar if I had it my way these guys would never leave. This bunch of guys are very nice, polite and just a joy to listen to. Wish all bands were like that...		Add a review

Add a review	I heard these guys live in Port Aransas. They have a lot of energy and the show was good. The lead singer has a nice voice, the drummer is right on. Bass player slaps the heck out of it. The lead guitarist is okay, but should stay away from playing Hendrix - country is best! The original songs were good, especially Lights of Town. Thanks for a good show!		Add a review
