A detailed press knowledge of rock markets

Rock music is a broad church and means a lot of different things to many people. Some think of it as classic rock; others as heavy metal; some consider it as indie, pop-punk, folk-rock…or simply rock’n’roll.

Whatever your interpretation, we have the knowledge and background in that area to create a campaign that will work for you.

We are a company comprised of people who have been there and bought the T-shirt. We have played in bands (that have featured in Kerrang!, Rock Sound, NME and many more), run record labels (with enough of an ear for talent to have recorded the very first Bloc Party single), managed bands that have hit #1 on the Rock Chart and played the mainstage at Reading & Leeds Festival, written for national publications, and run international projects for some of the biggest and best artists in the world.   

We haven’t forgotten, however, what it’s like to be a new band, taking your first steps out of the local scene in search of wider notoriety. 

We consider our knowledge of rock markets second-to-none, be that online or in the national press. We helped develop Lonely The Brave from an unsigned band to one that signed a deal with Hassle and Columbia Records, released two top 20 albums and achieved two Rock Chart number ones.  

We have proudly handled press for IDLES since 2016, when they were still self-releasing, and in the time since, they have secured a top 5 album and had numerous cover features — including an iconic front page with Kerrang! The band ended this year with the news that “Joy as an Act of Resistance” had gone silver, with over 60,000 sales in the UK.

In 2019 we had worked on campaigns for two other breakthrough bands Spielbergs and Press Club - that have seen significant coverage from Kerrang! and Classic Rock, and have been interviewed by Dan P Carter on BBC Radio 1.

If you are planning a new release, please contact us to discuss ways we can help.
