Hey, I didn't just review mainstream bands that are "down
with the kids", I sometimes get the smaller, more deserving
bands contact me from time to time asking if I can review their
latest album. I always encouraged such behaviour because a)
I get an album for free that I wouldn't normally hear, and
b) it gives bands greater exposure by letting other people
know my opinions. There are just so many artists out there, so
this page was dedicated to raising awareness of bands that you,
the intelligent music fan (now I'm sucking up) have never heard
of. Please visit their websites afterwards.
Note: I no longer accept album submissions
- this page is archive only
* Music PR companies who provided the many albums over the
years including QuiteGreat
* Manilla
PR * Avebury
Records - thanks for suppling such a diverse range of
styles. Although near the end of my reviewing days I was sent
just about anything from ex-boyband members going it alone to
softly sweet female soloists to bland and forgettable pop which
I have stuffed to the back of my cupboard. I just wanted some
quaility control! I grew disheartened with the whole process
where it turned into a "job" which took up my evenings
when I could have been doing something productive like drinking
down the pub. It became a chore near the end and I had to stop
despite the thrill of getting an artist I genuinely liked recognised
through my review being used as publicity. I was even featured
on the BBC website, which must mean something, somewhere.
* Thanks to the contributors who took the time to interview
artists (below) and then give me their words to publish. Also,
thanks to those who gave me their album reviews so they could
be published on the Guest Reviewer
Page - Out of all the people I've dealt with, Elizabeth
Jacobsen has been the most prolific and even has her own page
due to sheer volume of reviews submitted.
* Other sites who reviewed undiscovered artists (most notable
being CoolNoise.co.uk * DareDevil.de * Rhythm
and Booze) have either closed down or are not taking further
submissions - it's quite bleak out there for new music. So I
can't help you if you need publicity as all my peers have all
gone.
