If you’d like us to showcase your music somehow, and you think your music fits with what we do here, feel free to submit your music after reading these next few lines below. If you have another type of inquiry, please title your email appropriately.

First, please note that not everything that gets submitted will get posted, but that everything submitted will eventually be reviewed. If you do not get posted, it does not necessarily mean that you suck or aren’t talented, it might just mean we don’t think that you fit what we’re about. You be the judge. Give it time, sometimes emails sit in the queue for days before they are checked out. Please do not spam the email account multiple times with multiple reminders. We got it, don’t worry, and most likely we’ll just delete the email altogether if you do that. Also, please do not spam us on twitter or facebook; it’s automated!

If you are going to submit, it might help your cause to have these things in mind:

- attach a hi-resolution image of at least 635 width (a visual is necessary)
- have already uploaded your track to one of the many file sharing sites
- a short intro/bio (we don’t need your life story, but you can link us to it if you’d like)
- what the song/video is off of, or what project it is going to be on
- contact information (aka your twitter, facebook, website, etc)
- keep it simple!

If you’re submitting a multi-feature release (ie- album, mixtape, etc), we suggest you use bandcamp or soundcloud so we can preview it before we download it. It speeds up the process on our end. We do get a lot of music submitted, and there are tons flooding the internet; you do the math!

We only post about shows and events around Indianapolis, or with Indianapolis peoples.

We do not do reviews.
We aren’t critics.
We share music we enjoy.
