People who release music (2 Viewers)

Who all do you send your music to hopefully get reviewed?

Trying to compile a list to send some band shit to.
I would also like to know the answer to this.

Not reviews but I did find this page pretty handy. It’s a list of Irish radio station contacts. Some of them host new Irish music shows that might play your stuff

 
You could try these guys


They have contact details on the site to send press packs to
 
I tend just do an internet trawl around outlets that have people in the same vague venn diagram as what i'm doing and build up a list. Like you want to be as famous as Bros? Then google who's reviewing Bros singles and see if they are open to submissions.

Oh and read the fucking submission guidelines, even if it is 50 extra hurdles.
 
It's all so FUCKING TEDIOUS though. I didn't bother for the last single, dunno if any of the effort I was making made any difference. Paid for publicity once, got very little in the way of results (maybe 2 sentences in the thin air and a mention in hot press)

There was a thing called Yangaroo for a while that you could use to send your stuff to all the Irish radio stations. It was paid, but I got use of it for free for a little while in return for some programming work. Again, dunno if it made any difference, and I dunno if radio stations still use it. Maybe @ann post knows?
 
Here's my own personal tiny list of radio shows/stations that are worth sending stuff to:
* Nova Guestlist
* Roddie Cleere
* 8Radio
* Flirt FM (via @ann post )
* Dan Hegarty
* Log into Facebook

That's kind of it for Stoat. I've had the tunes I did with the kids played by Dermot and Dave and Tom Dunne in the past, and solo piano tunes played on lyric, but not much point sending them Stoat stuff

Yup, it’s incredibly tedious.
Never went down the PR route. Somebody did recommend Raised by Wolves before. They seem good. Also, Amplify Agency as well seem good. But that sort of thing is outside our budget. At least I’m assuming so.

Used Submit Hub a few times and found it fuck all use and a complete waste of time for us.

Used Instagram ads once or twice and found them useful for getting people to listen in the past. If you put up an ad with a small clip of yr video, that’d probably work.

The list of stations up there is worth going through and contacting.

Also, like @ann post suggested, have a look at bands similar to yourself on Instagram or Facebook and see who’s reviewing them, then contact them. It’s pretty tedious though

That's gonna be my next thing. Try and create small pieces of content like this

regularly and then boost them to an Irish-only audience. My fantasy is that this will get more people to come to our very infrequent gigs, which might then allow us to make them a bit more frequent
