PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept unsolicited materials for review. Any music submissions must be approved in advance by one of the executive staff members above. Please only submit finished products (no CD-Rs or DVD-Rs). In addition, we only select acts that fit into the progressive or art rock genres (click here for descriptions). If you do not fit into these styles, please accept our best wishes for finding suitable bookings elsewhere. Thank you!
