Rock & metal publicity for your next release
We write your press. We take it to rooms that feel your passion.
Your record deserves more than a blast to a random list. You get a release written in your voice, a pitch to the outlets that actually care about the music you make, one follow-up, and every live link sent back to you.

50% to start · 50% on the report
No retainers · No promises we can’t keep
What you actually buy
Four jobs. You choose how hard we push.
You could email a hundred sites yourself. You pay us to tell your story properly, put it in front of the people who feel that same fire, and come back with proof. How deep that goes depends on the tier you pick.
Write your release
A short press release, a one-liner, and talking points in your voice. Built for an editor with twenty seconds — not a life story.
Find your rooms
We do not mail every address we own. We send your music to the 25–40 outlets that feel your passion.
Follow up once
One polite chase after 5–7 days. No daily pestering. Editors remember who respects their time.
Send you the proof
Who heard it, what landed, live links. That report is yours to show a label, a booker, or the people who already believe in you.
Pricing
Three tiers. Pick the push that fits you.
Per single or EP. No coverage promises — you pay for the campaign and the report. Want pictures with it? Promo shoot add-on, £50–£100.

Add-on
Promo photos that look like the record.
Editors judge the picture before they press play. Add a shoot to any campaign and you walk away with stills for press, socials, and the pack we send out.
Location sets the price
£50 if we can shoot you locally — outdoor, street, or the rehearsal room. £100 if we are travelling or booking a space. Edited selects included. Studio hire, extra outfits, and a video day sit outside this add-on.
Press-ready stills
A tight set for the release: band shots, a couple of singles, crop-safe for square posts and landscape features. We put them in the pitch so the room sees you, not a blank email.
How a campaign runs
From assets to report
You send the kit
Track (streaming link, not an attachment), artwork, bio, dates, quotes, and any story that is actually true. We do not start until the deposit is in.
Write, send, wait
Your release goes to the rooms that fit you. Soundcheck is one send. Main Stage and Amped get follow-up waves. You hear from us the moment something live lands.
Report closes it
You get the wrap-up for your tier — sent, opens where we can track them, and every live link. Balance invoice goes out with the report.
Fit
This is for you if the music already means something
This is for you
- Rock, metal, punk, hard rock, alternative — finished and released or dated
- You want blog reviews, premieres, and interviews you can screenshot
- You can wait 4–6 weeks and accept that some inboxes will stay quiet
- You need a clean campaign and a written result, not a monthly babysitter
This is not for you
- You want a Kerrang cover, Radio 1, or “guaranteed placements”
- The track is a demo with no artwork and no date
- You need playlisting, TikTok, or ads — that is a different job
- You want us to mail 1,000 random sites and call it strategy
Questions
Before you book
Do you guarantee coverage?
No. Anyone who does is selling you a paid post or a lie. We guarantee the writing, the targeted send, the follow-up, and the report. A decent, finished record on the right list usually picks up mid-tier blogs. It does not usually pick up Kerrang.
How many sites do you send to?
It scales with the tier. Soundcheck is a core genre and regional list. The Main Stage is an expanded UK and international rock / metal list plus freelance journalists. Amped adds high-profile press, promoters and tastemakers. You see the shortlist for your tier before it goes out.
When should we start?
Two to four weeks before your single lands. If it is already out, we can still run it — but editors work harder when they have a date to aim at.
What do you need to send us?
Your streaming links, artwork, a short bio that is not a novel, credits, hometown, release date, live dates if you have them, and one honest hook. No file attachments for the music itself.
What’s included in a photo shoot?
A promo set you can use for press, socials, and the campaign pack. Price is £50–£100 depending on location — local outdoor or rehearsal-room shots sit at the bottom of that range; travel or a booked space sits at the top. Edited selects included. Studio hire, extra outfits, or a video day are not in this add-on.
How do we pay?
50% to start the writing. 50% when the report is delivered. Photo shoots are quoted and paid separately before the date. Soundcheck £99, The Main Stage £150, Amped £200.
Book
Send your record. We’ll tell you if we can carry it.
Use the form. If your music and timing fit, you get a yes, a start date, and the deposit details. If we are not the right rooms for you, we will say so rather than take the money.
