How bands get played on internet radio

Posted on November 12, 2020March 17, 2022 by Jason Muxlow

Gimme Radio

Brian Turner, Program Director: “Generally it’s an open field. We will air hugely known bands as well as completely unknown. [The] only criteria is that the band has something original to say, and is coming from a pure place, as faithful to or as outside the lines of what’s traditional in the past and present of metal. We especially consider bands from small or independent labels, and work with the usual performance rights organizations to handle compensation. If you’re interested in submitting a song, use the music@gimmeradio.com address. We encourage all to send links or files. I check them out and if we like it we’ll add it to the rotation, perhaps forward to specific DJs who may like to play it.”

Trendkill Radio

Bobby Rayfield, Program Director: “Artists can go to TrendKillRadio.com and click the contact tab. At the bottom of the page [where it says “Drop Us A Line”], they can directly message us with their promo materials such as Bandcamp links and download codes. We listen to everything that comes our way. We have hosts from all over the world who put together blocks of music every week. No algorithms. It’s human participation directed toward our stations listeners and supporters.”

AccuRadio

From their website: “We can consider commercially published music from artists who are registered with SoundExchange. Our Terms and Conditions have more information about these policies. To submit music to us, please contact us at artist-contact@accuradio.com”
