March 10, 2012 Radiohead recently bought some exciting tour news to music fans in the UK, after announcing large arena shows in London and Manchester.
However, a more interesting development for many was the fact that the band also announced that they will be teaming up with the Ticket Trust (a legitimate ticket exchange) to allow fans to sell tickets to other fans at face value if they are unable to go to the gig.
January 17, 2012 As you can imagine, a music website will receive many bands sending in their music for possible inclusion on the website. Sadly, due to time constraints working in music journalism, and generic emails that look like EXACTLY the same email has been sent to countless websites, some bands don’t even get heard!
Therefore, try and follow these simple guidelines when contacting music websites…
Marketing, Publicity, public relations | tagged email marketing, music website, new music December 27, 2011 PJ Harvey’s tenth studio album Let England Shake was named the best record of 2011 by UK music critics in a major poll by music retailer HMV.
The album finished top-of-the-pile in end-of-year polls across British media including Uncut, Mojo, The Guardian, and NME.
More than 30 media outlets were polled for their favourite discs of the last 12 months. The top 5 albums according to British critics were…
1) PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
2) Bon Iver - Bon Iver
3) Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
4) Radiohead - The King of Limbs
5) Tune-Yards - Whokill
Harvey said of the honour, “I am very grateful to receive this accolade for Let England Shake. The response to this album has heartened me, and given me great hope for the future.”
The critics seemed pretty conclusive about PJ releasing the album of the year. But are these the best indie music albums that were released during 2011? The Black Keys, James Blake. Metronomy, and the Arctic Monkeys may have been in with a claim for a spot in the Top 5.
