[QUOTE="eddnli:1224381"][QUOTE="moron:1224332"]My band needs to better promote itself. Problem is, we aren't sure how to go about this. We've submitted music to various blogs, and zines with little success at getting reviews (a bad review is better than no review). I've noticed some of the bands on this page seem fairly adept at getting press. Anyone have any tips for building a solid modern press kit? Do you rely on internet sites or do you submit cds? Do you have a large packet you e-mail with articles and pictures, or do you point people to your internet presence? Do you network tirelessly? Do you spend your days on the internet tweeting and updating your facebook? Do you have a lengthy form e-mail you send out? Tips people! TIPS![/QUOTE] Its who you know and being around forever. Play locally alot, when i say locally i mean no more than a 20 minute drive from where you live. My band gets a draw of around 75 on the south shore, yet if we play an extra 10 minutes away that drops to maybe 15. (no these people arn't my friends, my friends refuse to go to my shows, dicks). Yeah boston is great, but the (dare i say) "scene" there is super selective, for who they'll come out for. Worcester seems to be more open. There are some better than average local bands that get no attention, while others that suck play out on everyshow. I used to call it the throwing shrapnel effect (i personally liked the band btw). If you're asking these questions maybe you shouldn't be playing metal. [/QUOTE]
