REVIEW INQUIRIES: If you are interested in having your single/EP/album reviewed or featured, please email the inbox listed below.

It is strongly recommended that you READ THROUGH THE EXISTING MATERIAL HERE BEFORE INQUIRING so you have an idea of:

 

1) What I look for in a band
2) How I structure my articles
3) The kinds of topics I address in my features

 

Do NOT send emails with file attachments. They will be deleted. A direct link to an organized SoundCloud playlist or Bandcamp page will suffice.

Pro-tip: The earlier ahead of your project’s release date you can inquire, the better for all involved. This isn’t just for my website but good general advice when submitting for reviews anywhere.

Second Pro-Tip: If you send a Dropbox link with audio, PLEASE make sure the files are appropriately labeled with their corresponding track names and numbers. Metadata is crucial for an accurate review and the onus is on the artist to provide a full and accurate list of the music they would like to have evaluated.

ARTIST/BAND BIO INQUIRES: If you are in need of a new bio for your website/social media/one sheet/etc., send an email with “BAND/ARTIST NAME Bio Inquiry” in the subject line.
