Promote Your Band


Promote your band on the Internet with the following checklist of Web sites. Get your band's name and music out there with these resources. You can add your band's link, post contact information, or upload an mp3. This page will be updated with more Web sites as I come across them, and I have personally tested all these sites, so they do work. I've found a ton of sites that do not actually update links or add new band profiles. These are the good ones, in no particular order. Below that area, you will find radio stations and zines that accept music. Good luck!!

Before you get started with this list, your band needs a Web site. These days, it's not optional. It doesn't need to be fancy, but you need some way for people to find you on the Internet. Don't worry about getting a PO Box - get a site. Some bands try to get by with just a MySpace page, but that site is pretty limited, and you would be surprised how often the music player on MySpace doesn't work. If you don't have a Web site, you can get a cheap one from Doteasy:

Attention all bands: Don't get scammed by This is Kaos. It's a fraudulent compilation run by a con artist (who also runs Kamo Koalition - same scam with a different company name). In fact, I wouldn't suggest paying money to be on any compilation because they are all scams. Either the compilation is put together so poorly on a CDR that you could have done it yourself, or all the other bands suck, which keeps anyone from hearing your band's song, or the compilation is never made - but your money is gone. I'm working on a plan to get a compilation to actually work, so stay tuned.
