Band News (Press Releases & Stuff): news@rockrevoltmagazine.com
What’s going on with your band – did you just get signed as support on a tour, going out on tour, performing at a big charity fundraiser, finish up an album, win a national contest? We want to know about it! Make the subject line of the email in “headline” type format (example: Face Melt Playing Uproar Festival Tour in 2013!).
Band Reviews: reviews@rockrevoltmagazine.com
- ALBUM/EP/MP3 Reviews: should be in the format listed above and emailed no later than three weeks prior to drop/release date. Please make the subject line of the email contains Band Name, Name of new Album/EP & Drop date (example: Face Melt, Melting the Masses, Release Date: 12/1/12)
- Live Show Reviews: As much as we love our indie bands, there is only so much time and we are scattered far and wide across the U.S. and beyond. Therefore, please do not invite us to attend every gig that you have. If we are coming out to see you, we’ll let you know. However, if you are touring in support of a headlining band and would like to let us know, then we can be sure to catch your set if we know about it in time and get live shots. Again, timing is everything….we need at least one month’s notice to arrange.
Submissions for interviews or coverage in RR: submissions@rockrevoltmagazine.com
Please make sure that you’ve read the “All Submitted Information Must Include” section twice then send all of it along with a reason why we should consider interviewing YOU or YOUR BAND and give you coverage in RR on our website, digital or print magazine!
Thank you all and we look forward to hearing your music!
