STRICTLY OUTSIDERS ONLY
ALL SUBMITTED INFORMATION MUST INCLUDE:
- Band name, members names/instruments played, genre, City, State, Country all the contact information including email.
- Links to all relevant band sites (website, Bandcamp, Twitter, etc.)
- Short bio – 250 words or less
- Even if you have the slickest EPK on the planet…still make sure all of this shit is on it. Thanks!
SEND YOUR MUSIC CORRECTLY:
- MUSIC MUST BE SUBMITTED in either MP3 format or a direct link to listen to your music in one place. “Check out our music on our FB, website, Reverb, iTunes… ” We do not have time to going to go searching for your stuff – and won’t.
- If you are submitting your music for an ALBUM/EP REVIEW, make sure to attach ALL of the songs with titles. We refuse to review any incomplete albums, what are you hiding?
- If you are submitting your music for consideration of an interview, feature article or Band of the Month, then send TWO of what you think are your BEST songs.
- Do not send music with “NEWS” stories unless it is relevant to the story, i.e., “Get Free Download of Face Melt’s new song, ‘We Melted Your Eyeballs’!”
If
it sounds like we’re being assholes for being so insistent, it’s
because if you don’t send your shit right…it will get overlooked or
deleted & that would suck!
Band News (Press Releases & Stuff):
What’s going on with your band – did you just get signed as support on a tour, going out on tour, burn down a church, finish up an album, overdose on heroin? We want to know about it!Band Reviews:
DIGITAL DOWNLOADS PREFERRED!!- ALBUM/EP/MP3 Reviews: should be in the format listed above and emailed no later than three weeks prior to drop/release date. Please make the subject line of the email contains Band Name, Name of new Album/EP & Drop date (example: Face Melt, Melting the Masses, Release Date: 12/1/12)
- Live Show Reviews: As much as we love the bands and the music, there is only so much time and we are scattered far and wide across the U.S. and beyond. Therefore, please do not invite us to attend every gig that you have. If we are coming out to see you, we’ll let you know. However, if you are touring in support of a headlining band and would like to let us know, then we can be sure to catch your set if we know about it in time and get live shots. Again, timing is everything….we need at least one month’s notice to arrange.
