It's now a fact of life if you sign with Sub Pop, chances are you are going to get compared with Nirvana. (I guarantee that some 10 bob hack has compared The Shins to Nirvana somewhere). If you also happen to have a background of working at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio Studios it's a dead cert. Bully have a lot to offer. You can sign up here.
If you then go and make an album with Steve Albini....
