Submission Policy

Please do not submit unsolicited material to the label.
Query first by email or snail-mail.
Unsolicited demos, tapes, CDs or the like will be disgarded, unless accompanied by overstuffed envelopes of cash.
It's hard to listen to the volume of material we receive, let alone respond to everyone who submits. Also sending unsolicited material puts the label in a potentially awkward legal position with so many "sue-happy" clowns out there. We just can't accept it.
Please investigate our releases and be familiar with what we like to release. If you're a band in the traditional sense, please don't bother as there are so many other labels who like that sort of thing, unless you think you're extremely unique and actually are.
Thanks for understanding and know that all creativity is revered by us.
