Jimmy hesitated a bit once she asked about his music preference. "I uh...like stuff with guitars in it. Like lots of guitars and a bunch of uh...drums." |

Eva gives Jimmy a funny look and laughs. "Music with guitars and drums. Alright, that narrows it down a bit." She smirks. "Come on, really. Like, punk rock? Or... pop? I don't know."

"Yeah, punk rock." He responds quickly. "I really like punk rock." |

Eva turns and smiles at him. "I like punk rock, too. Something I can really sink my teeth into, you know what I mean?" She bares her teeth like a growling dog and then laughs.

Phew, that was a huge relief for Jimmy. "If you like punk that we should be cool." |

Eva grins. "I'm in a band. Did I already mention that? We play, like... dance punk." She laughs at how ridiculous it sounds when she says it outloud. "We sound better than it seems like we would, I promise."

Man, Eva seemed to be really comfortable around him. He'd never tell anyone he was in a band. "Dance-punk eh?" He smirks at her laughter, "You guys release anything or just performances?" |

Eva shakes her head, laughing a little. "Ah, no. We've just done performances so far. We're not... that cool..." She says back, slowly becoming more and more embarrassed by telling him that. "It's whatever." She walks into the store, holding the door open for Jimmy to follow in behind.

Amy Meyer was sat in her office at the 'Songs to Love and Die By' headquarters in New York City, it wasn't anything like the headquarters for labels like Studio60, it was relatively small and low-key in comparison which is something that Amy had veered more towards when it came to starting her own label, preferring to run a label drenched in the roots of Alternative music and Pop-Punk, but recently it had started to rise with an ever-growing roster and a number of now quite successful young musicians signed to the label, she sat in her office, there was a meeting booked with Johnny McDougall, she made herself busy as she awaited his arrival, so that the two could talk about his band 'Nobody's Darlings'. |

He flicked his cigarette out before he walked into the office. The band and himself had shopped around labels for years to try to find a decent one. But none of them ever seemed to hold his interest for long. So they had done rather successfully on their own as a completely independent DIY artist. Johnny was a big fan of independent labels and that's why they appealed to him. He would adjust his hat as he was let into her office. Not dressed to fancy. Leather jacket, tee shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Then he stretched his legs and got comfortable for a minute. "I guess you got my letter about wanting a contract? You know my band and I have only been on one label since we started. We've done just about everything ourselves. Including funding our own records with a self supporting label. But your label stuck out. Basically because I don't want to be on a corporate organization label. I don't like how they work." |

Amy was sat in her very personalised office, Amy smiled politely at Johnny, "Yeah, I got your letter. It's great that you want to sign with us, I've heard about you guys a few times and you're good, very old school. I like it" she laughs a little, "We don't have anything like that on the label. I like productivity though, that's one thing that I'm crazy about, I don't wanna sign someone to the label and two years later they still haven't released anything, so what's your work ethic like?" she asks. |

Eva laughs. "Uh, yeah. We have just a bit more class than that," she says back with a wink. In reality, the band she was part if had no class and they had several recordings that were made in makeshift studios in one of their bedrooms. But she wasn't about to mention any of that. "What about you? What do you do?"

Jimmy chuckles awkwardly along with her. Fuck, he didn't think far enough ahead to create a fake occupation for himself. If he introduced himself as the true punk rocker, especially under the title he used, she might be a bit more hostile to him. "Oh, insurance investigation." He answered curtly. |

Eva raises her eyebrow. "Wow. That sounds... fun, I guess. Is it cool? Like, the term 'investigation' makes me feel like it will be fun, but I could be totally wrong." She walks over to the vinyl record section of the store and starts going through them.

"Oh yeah, it's totally fun." He says as he follows her over to the vinyl section, his hands flipping over old Blood of Wecz and Ryan Ross Hernandez LPs. "In a completely nosy sort of way." |

"Nosey fun. My favorite kind," Eva says with a laugh, shaking her head as she picked up the Blood of Wecz vinyl. "Do you like BOW?"

The question almost sent flashbacks to his online argument with the band's frontman almost half a year ago. "Nah, that Scott guy is a bit of a dick." |

Eva laughs. "Yeah. And I heard that he cheated on his wife the last time she was pregnant. But he's an attractive dick, so I guess that gives him a free pass from most people... including his wife." She smirks, flipping through more of them.

Jimmy continues flipping, laughing at Eva's joke, "Yeah, heard they've got a new album out though. Still haven't given it a listen." |
