Free publicity for independent musicians

If you are a independent musician or are on a smaller label and would like free publicity, feel free to send me a link to your album online, or contact me for my mailing address if you would like to send a CD. So far, I have only heard from two independent artists, and only one of them has sent me an a link to their album (thanks Raccoon Fink).

For those that don’t know, there is a music review site that accompanies this blog. Since the more well-known artists get so much exposure already, the reviews that I write will not impact them very much; for this reason, I am willing to bump albums by lesser known musicians ahead in the queue for review. All reviews have a link to the official site of the artist as well as a link to the album on Amazon (if it exists) for purchase. Spreading your name through word of mouth and having a link for those inspired to buy your album can’t hurt.

You may be asking what I get out of this. A couple of things actually. First, I get exposure to new music. Second, and most obviously, I get content for my site. Third, I get the opportunity to fill a mainly untapped niche as most review sites do not focus on unsigned artists.

Be prepared for a fair critique of your music though. If I think something sucks, I will not hesitate to let the world know. If, on the other hand, you album rocks – so to speak – this may be just the kind of publicity that gets you noticed. I accept submissions of all genres and generally publish 2 or 3 reviews per month.

    This is the link to the album on soundcloud. Feel free to let me know what you think. Right now, I’m just trying to get my stuff out there and get some feed back. It’s not the music I REALLY want to be doing, but I enjoying making this genre. I would like to move into the EDM scene while dabbling in the trance-core scene.
    Cheers,
    -Matthew
