Update on Unsigned Artists

I am still looking to finalise an artist that I can work with for this project. From the original shortlist every band has been contacted and I have had difficulty in getting an artist on board.

Call It Reckless - Although willing to participate, they will not have any material that I could work with until around December, which is too late for this project.
Hours - Contacted the band via E-Mail one month ago, and recieved no response.
The Afterparty - After originally having no response via E-mail, I sent the band a Direct Message via Twitter, where the band told me to forward it to their e-mail, and that they were meeting with their manager shortly which explained the silence, and I have not heard back since.
Hunter & The Bear - Unfortunately the band have such a busy schedule that it just couldn't fit - however, I am still in contact with Lily, their manager, who may be able to provide other artists, such as Rothwell.
Octavians / Headroom - No response. Headroom have just been on tour with Citizen, Octavians are working on a new album.
Empire Nights - I contacted the band, who said unfortunately they wouldn't have anything to work with for this project, and that the band were away. Shortly afterwards, my friend Stokely left the band.
Speaking in Shadows / All At Sea - E-Mail sent, no response. 

I have also contacted Abandoning Sunday and 5 & A Dime from the USA, but am yet to hear a response as of yet, just in case. However, I am confident that by working with Lily I will be able to secure an act in the near future, or I will be able to find alternative acts through my Twitter, such as The Oceans Above, Discovered, Till Tomorrow Ends, Giveittime, Skin Deep and Short Stories (USA).
