Anthony says there is a problem with verifiable garage bands as to what do with them. Garage bands in the sense that he presumably means the term are unsigned bands practising in garages and playing gigs at the local pub if thet're lucky are usually unverifiable. Third parties who provide verification such as the media and reference sources such as Allmusic.com http://Allmusic.comhttp://Allmusic.comarent interested in writing anything about them at this stage.
What about ASCAP? If their songs are listed with them, would you consider that information to be verifiable? How many individuals/bands do you think have songs registered with ASCAP but would fail that list of criteria you present?
