REVIEW SUBMISSIONS

One of our objectives is to help emerging artists and bands by giving them a space at The Vinyl Hole to present their music. We focus on up-and-coming alternative/underground bands and artists. Got a new release? Submit your music to us!

​

Submissions are now closed. Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to find out when submissions will be open. 

Guidelines:

​

Please read the guidelines carefully. 

​

  • Send us a downloadable link to your music. This is an easier way to listen to your music. Please send the album you wish to have reviewed. If necessary, we will ask you to send us more material. Make sure your tracks are labeled!

  • Provide a bio and a press release. This will give us a better understanding of your music; we want to learn as much as we can since your music will most likely be new to us. 

  • Send links of all your social media. Instagram/Facebook/Websites/Spotify/SoundCloud/Bandcamp.

  • Provide album art and music videos (if available). You must provide a high-quality file of the album art and photos of your band. 

  • Your music must have a good following and presence on social media. 

  • Please clarify what genre your music is. Please note that we only cover alternative music since this magazine focuses on experimental/alternative genres and their infinite number of subgenres.  

  • Once you have been selected, we will contact you to schedule a short interview that will be included in the review. 

  • Ask yourself, what makes you stand out? Proving a good pitch will strengthen your submission and make a bigger impression. We want to know as much as we can from you. This information will help us.

  • Not every band will be selected for a review. This may be for many reasons, but we welcome you to submit your music to us again in the future. 

  • You will be contacted by email once your music has been fully reviewed. 

  • Make sure you follow us on social media! We are on Facebook and Instagram. @TheVinylHole

  • Lastly, make sure everything you submit is presentable. We want the process to run smoothly. You’ll have a lower chance of being selected if you provide unlabeled tracks, bad-quality photos, etc. 

 

 

Please note that your music will take some time to review. Sit tight! You will hear from us. You may follow up, but please keep this very minimal. We ask that you not send multiple emails asking if your music has been reviewed. You will get an email confirmation once we have received the information.

​

We look forward to your submission!
