The Musicopolis is proud to support new, and up-and coming bands & musicians, and is open to accepting a limited number of submissions for review as part of our mandate. Our general criteria for submissions are:
Submissions are Currently: OPEN
General Criteria for Submissions:
- You must have both physical & digital media available for people to purchase or download.
- You must have some sort of web presence (social media, YouTube, website etc) where people can go to find out more about you or your band.
- An EPK is generally (but not specifically) required. It must include high-resolution photos that are fully attributed and cleared for publication.
- You or your band have to be actively performing live (gigs booked and/or played within an 18 month window). Some exceptions can be made depending on the band/genre – but we are looking for pro, or aspiring pro musicians as opposed to hobbyists or bedroom/beats styled producers. Again – there are some exceptions that can be made here.
- Bands/Artists must feature original material.
Specific Steps Involved in the Submission Process:
- Send an initial inquiry via email to submissions at themusicopolis.com Include all your contact details (email, social media etc) with a very brief bio and a sample of your stuff. We will read your submission (time permitting) and follow up with you. You may be asked to submit more info or material, or to provide (send) physical media.
Being chosen doesn’t constitute an endorsement beyond the obvious, nor does not being chosen reflect on the quality of your work. We have limited spots and writers available to wite about new music and the decision to move forward with an article or review is more reflective of our own internal constraints on our own resources than the quality of your work.
Our own Ethos here is to promote music and musicians; not to cut them down.
Note: If you have a live show or performance coming up in select cities where we have resident writers let us know as well. We currently have writers in Vancouver BC, & Toronto Ontario.
Thank You, TheMusicopolis.com
