We’re a huge fan of bands producing and using EPK’s (Electronic Press Kits) as promotional tools. Not only do EPK’s save a lot of wasted paper and trees, but they tell an artist’s story much more effectively than a bunch of static pages can.

One of our favorite ways to produce and receive EPK’s is via [Sonicbids](http://www.sonicbids.com/?ref=hypebot.com) which for $50 a year allows artists to easily produce a nice emailable piece with links back to a server holding music samples, etc.

But increasingly bands and labels are producing even fancier presentations that use power-point style slide shows and even mini-movies to introduce a new artist.
