Press Releases For Bands And Artists Made Easy.

Press releases for bands are a great option for you to enhance your music promotion and music publicity efforts.  Distributing news-worthy stories of your Act or band to sources that are interested in your particular topic or musical style is actually affordable (as opposed to the impossible prices of a PR firm).  A company like Musicsubmit.com offers huge “blasts” of your material for small fees.  Please note: I earn nothing by mentioning their name to you.  Press Releases are a key strategy when promoting your music.  Once again, all information you publish about your music should have a GENUINE news angle.

While the main goal of distributing press releases for bands (and songwriters) is to get your music exposure, your press release must not sound like you are trying to “sell something.” Prospective publications will not publish you if it sounds like you are “advertising something.” They are likely bombarded on a daily basis with these “spam-like” types of press releases that never end up getting any news coverage. Music promotion requires something “newsworthy.” Is there a message in your music that you would like to get across? Explain it “in writing.”

In terms of creating your press release of your Act or band, you might want to think about having an experienced journalist write the press release for you. He/she will likely find a slant within your music )for use when creating a news story) that you or your band haven’t thought of yet. If he/she can’t, find someone who can or, better yet, diversify your musical activities and events.

The most important primer that you should have completed before making an official news announcement to media is having all pertinent (and current) information about your music published on your website. This includes music available for sale (and available as a sample for streaming), as well as how to contact you. If you are not out playing live, you can still distribute press releases about your projects if they are relevant to a current event, or if you are involved in a charity in support of a “greater good.” This would create an opportunity to pursue music promotion and music publicity, since you would be drawing attention to a much-needed charity.

More to come.
