Press
If you’re interested in Tinderbox pursuing press on your behalf please submit your music to us either digitally or by hard copy and be sure to include your one sheet and please address your package to Krista Vilinskis. If we feel we can really do something for you we will let you know. Good press isn’t easy to obtain so if we are passionate about your music chances are we will be able to obtain press for you.
Our publicist has over 20+ years of experience and has established great relationships with many major music publications and critics over the years that can help to get your CD listened to more quickly and considered for review. We have received press for artists in many national publications such as Billboard, Magnet, BLURT, Acoustic Guitar World, The Big-Takeover, Performer Magazine, Spin, No Depression, Americana UK and Playback: STL, PASTE to name a few and weekly’s including Village Voice, The Onion, OC Weekly, New York Press, City Pages, Cincinnati City Beat, Dallas Observer, Seattle Weekly, The Stranger and many others. Tinderbox also works closely with several online sites including BBC, Current.org, Cities97.com, NPR’s All Songs Considered & NPR Second Stage, World Cafe, Music Emissions, Rollingstone.com, Pop Matters, Daytrotter.com, MTV.com, Delusions of Adequacy, Absolute Punk, RapReviews.com, Okayplayer.com, 2dopeboyz, Glide Magazine, babysue and Powerpopaholic and many other great indie review sites. We also work with a plethora of out of the country publications.
Tinderbox can be hired for any of the following: obtaining local press for a CD release date such as your hometown’s daily, weekly or college papers, receiving regional press for out of town touring such as statewide papers and/or national publications like weekly, monthly or bi-monthly music magazines, blogs and other online review sites. The kind of press that can occur is a possible review of your CD, an honorable mention regarding an upcoming show, a review of your live performance, and or a feature story about your music and or band. The type of press your band obtains obviously depends largely on how much the music critic likes your music.
Most media publications require a copy of your current physical disc and or to be digitally serviced with your recent music along with an up-to-date one sheet. Feel free to reach out to Krista directly to inquire further about hiring Tinderbox for PR services and or if you would like further information regarding one sheets.
