How can my band get signed?

I'm in the same boat as you man. Trying to make it big with my band too. but these are some things you can do:
1) Practice
You have to practice, practice, and practice. It'll help you as musicians. Just jam out on some stuff. After awhile you will be so used to each others playing that it will be extremely easy to write stuff. Take practice seriously too, i know some people i've played with don't take it seriously and put random sh*t ahead of it, Make sure you have serious musicans who don't come just to joke around.
2)Use Social Media
Make your band a Facebook page. Tell all your friends to go like it. Make a twitter page for your band. I've seen friends in other bands use this technique on twitter to get listeners. Go to a band that influences yall's music's or band similar to yall's style's Twitter and go through and follow all of their followers. That will expose them to you and they will check you out. Another site to use is called ReverbNation. You can post songs,pictures, videos, show announcements, etc. Great tool for musicians! Make your band a YouTube channel as well. If you guys get a song written but haven't recorded it yet... Just video yourself playing it and post it on your band's FB, Twitter, Reverb Nation, etc asking friends to check it out and give you feedback
3)Gigs/Shows
Play as many shows as you get the chance too. If there are coffee shops or bars near you... go play at their open mic night.. if everything goes well.. ask if you might could book a show their one night. Become friends with others in your local music scene. Ask them for advice on booking shows, recording, etc.

Thats a short list. If need any more tips, feel free to hit me up. I can also give advice on home recording and other things like that. Good luck man!
