DIY Band Promotion

Spotlights

A few years ago before the internet was as BIG as it is now, I remember thinking about all the bands that were out there playing music that I had never heard of. Bands that I would never hear. I felt out of control.

Sure, there were bands that I loved listening to on mainstream radio and seeing play live in my area, but I was fully aware of the fact that there was no way that I was even getting a fraction of what was really going on musically around the country - or the world for that matter.

Fast forward to the present, and luckily the internet has been a key to helping solve my quandary. I can now easily access bands' music online, however, the amount of music seems infinite and overwhelming at times, which can also hinder the process of discovering new bands.

I started BandWeblogs.com because I wanted a place online where I could help myself and others discover new music and to spread the GOOD word about bands, musicians and artists - established and new. Signed and unsigned. All genres. Everywhere. I love receiving emails from bands and artists wanting to share their music. I also enjoy publishing their information on BandWeblogs.com.

There has been a large volume of news, music and review requests coming into my inbox as of late, and it frustrates me that I can't publish all of it, as there's only one me here, and only so many hours in the day.

At this point, my solution to this problem is to ask bands, musicians and artists to please leave a comment (not too long) with information about your music along with a couple links, so that readers can learn about you, listen to you - and hopefully buy your music.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

  1. Martian Sun

    Martian Sun is a state of fluid and constant motion; notes that circle, and weave - pulsating- bending and flexing in such a way so as to captivate and freeze, harvesting complete and undiluted attention. Its conclusion is simply its genesis.

    Have a listen at any of these places:

    This is Really New and Unheard Music. http://www.reverbnation.com/BonEvans

    I was born into a musical family, but had my families failures put on me at a young age. I was Discouraged from playing or getting into music (In hopes I would pursue a Reliable Career Path).

    This was acceptable up until last year. My mother went in for Thyroid Surgery it was a very emotional moment in our lives. I came home to take care of her and one day she overheard me singing and playing guitar. She asked her husband to Record what she heard for her recovery time.

    Since then a spark came over me and I have unloaded 20 songs and counting onto our list. With My Step Dad, My Real Dad, Friends and other family members contributing this is Really starting to Come together.

    On top of this Current Project I am Working with several bands and dozens of musicians. Creating new songs, melodies, harmonies, Signature Riffs, videos and Always Supporting Fellow Musicians. Forever Grateful for the positive Vibes Moving forward on this New Found Passion. I am finally in the full Throttle Joy that My life Really Needed.

    Music really has a profound effect on us all, I know these songs will connect with you.

    The songs can be found on

  9. several conclusions

    Several Conclusions is a spooky Americana project that invokes old ghosts and whiskey soaked roads. In 2008 "songs for the half awake" was released. A dark portrait of a wayward traveler featuring musical saw, banjo and acoustic guitar. Every song sung from the bottom of a bourbon bottle. In 2011 "how we passed" was released a slightly less dark album featuring folk magic and stories of cold rivers and men that fall in love with Banshees. These sounds can be found across the internet on itunes, spotify and many more. The newly created website features adventures in sound and interaction. Give it a listen on a cold grey day and enjoy. Thanks for listening!

    Jakob22 returns with another video, letting the world into his crazy warped world of nightmares and dreams. This time he doesn't come alone, as he brings long time collaborator PeepSho. The two rock on the edge of darkness with the new track " My Sins".

    "My Sins" is the 4th video released off the album Dreamstate 2: The REM Effect. It continues on the dark journey that Jakob22 has been carrying us on in the last 2 years,

    PeepSho is a name that all who follow Toronto Hip Hop should definatly recognize. PeepSho returns reincarnated as the masked rapper GULLY GATES. Showing off his multiple talents as he sings on the chorus and drops a great 3rd verse

    My Sins is produced by 2Deep Production and is available on the album Dreamstate 2: The REM Effect Available for Free Download at http://www.jakob22.com/?page_id=22

  18. Brother Monk

    "Fans of acoustic music will come to dig Brother Monk. His style of singing is very easy going, steeped in soulful and romantic lyricism. Each of his songs will place listeners in a soothing mood, and the artist has a talent for placing listeners in an emotional frame of mind. These songs will remind fans of unrequited love and passion of the human spirit.

    The acoustics in each of the songs is a signature factor with this artist, and he excels on many levels in making the guitar unique and engaging with each song. His songs have no monotony, and his music delves into the basic essence of human expression and emotional out-pouring. Fans of romantic songs and acoustics will come to enjoy this singer's talent for playing the guitar with a clear singing voice. This is not to say that his songs are love ballads, but he has a knack for creating music that will touch people’s hearts."

    From humble beginnings rehearsing in a Glue Factory, an old Dentist Surgery, and a studio once used by The Lighthouse Family (until it flooded), Peculiar Disco Moves have evolved into a band that glorifies the trials and tribulations of raw British life within the boundaries of their own unique brand of feelgood, fun, inspiring progressive-pop narratives. We have an exciting upcoming EP release, accompanied by a launch party at the Star and Shadow Cinema, Newcastle Upon Tyne on 12th April.

    Hey Guys,

    I'm Jack and I'm the lead singer and guitar player of a band called The Grade, we have a couple of demos out and I'd like to see what people think of them, they are in their early stages at the moment to be honest but all feedback will be great!

    We apparently sound like a mixture of arctic monkeys and early muse ( first album ) i think that's the best album ;)

  24. Lara Chanley

    Bob Romanus, who played Mike Damone in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, is one half of the musical duo Poppa's Kitchen. And while his acting résumé certainly brings out the where-are-they-now lookyloos, one listen to the music he makes with partner Steve Feldman turns all comers into believers.
    For decades, Feldman and Romanus have been hand-crafting folk rock songs for their own enjoyment and sharing it in intimate venues. And though their latest album, Just So You Know, maintains this raw intimacy, it also throws open the doors to introduce Poppa’s Kitchen to a much wider audience.

    But words are no match for music – so have a listen. The title track from their latest album, Just So You Know, is a fitting entrée into Poppa’s Kitchen. From the first chord of “Just So You Know,” it feels like we’re being shared the heaviest of burdens, being shown a heart worn threadbare. Throughout, Romanus’ bourbon-soaked confessions ring so familiar that we could confuse them with our own. And the rock hymnal arrangement climbs the steps to a righteous church that echoes of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and Tom Waits.

    The entire album can be heard here: http://poppaskitchen.com/music-2/. You can also check out http://www.facebook.com/poppaskitchen or @PoppasKitchen.

    Here's our new single 'Drowning In The Drought' which was released on 4th may, please download and give it a listen. We'd love to know what you think:
    http://theascensionuk.bandcamp.com/album/drowning-in-the-drought
    The band is based in Salford, England and we've been going for five years now. We are currently looking for a drummer and this single was actually done between just two people (Doug: Vox, synth, guitar), and Neil (Bass, vox, drums). Despite being drummerless (we are currently auditioning) we have carried on with just two members (who are the founding members and write all the material) via sheer belligerence and experimentation. We have set up the "Rain City Sessions" as a means of showcasing our songs in a different way (ie adapted versions as we are not a full band at the moment). Please check out the link below from our youtube channel 'Malevolent Multimedia':
