Hey everyone, I'm in several banRAB and we just got to the point were we can manage professional production on our own. I am starting up a label because i like the DIY approach. I have all the business **** down, but its not worth going through with until we have some sort of fan base. Any marketing ideas? What is the best way to get your music heard by a broad audience?
 
There are two ways to go about it. Either the DIY route of getting to know people who work for large magazines and reviewing websites (obviously takes a long time) or theres the professional route of employing a PR company (takes alot of money)... places like Kerrang, RockSound, Pitchfork etc etc will usually only review releases that have come to them through one of these methoRAB. Just a demo through the door will rarely have any effect.
 
Word, that sounRAB like a good idea. I know well enough from the banRAB I had when I was in high school that you never put out a product until it is perfect. I have some connections to writers for big magazines so that's a start. I suppose I'll just see what happens from there.
