Getting your music heard is hard. Getting your music heard by the right people is even harder. You hear so many blogs, journalists and other industry big names complaining about unsolicited PR emails from bands, so its difficult to know where to tread. This is why we have set up this blog post, containing info and links to all the influential sites and blogs who not only accept these emails but welcome them.

Just a word of warning, though before you get emailing. Never, under any circumstances send a group email. I know it saves time, but putting all these addresses into a BCC field and firing over a group email would burn more bridges than it would build. Spend some time looking at each site, see what sort of music they are into and try and relate. If you are a sensitive singer songwriter crooning over an acoustic guitar, don’t contact a Hip-hop blog. Find them on twitter, look at their recent articles, and try and find common ground between them and your music. Below is a list of blogs that are accepting submissions.
