Indie Shuffle gets an overwhelming amount of submissions daily. We love helping out bands, but I won’t lie: we ignore 95% of it. Here’s how to get noticed (want something else? Skim to the end):

Step 1: Begin the subject with “New Music:” OR BE IGNORED — this will let us know who read this and who didn’t! Further, we apply a filter to our emails. Pretty much anything without this in the subject line won’t get listened to.

Step 2: Tell us about your music.

Step 3: Include an easy listening link — MySpace or Bandcamp preferred. Attached MP3s are fine as well. DO NOT INCLUDE MEDIAFIRE, YOUSENDIT, etc. We often are not in a position to download music onto computers. Bottom line is that it needs to stream.

Step 4: MOST IMPORTANT – We’d love it if you could tell us what you can do if we review your music. How many Twitter followers can you tell? Will you post a link on your Facebook? Will you email your fan list?

Got all those steps covered? Then here’s our email address.

history

In September of 2008, an email went out to a group of friends that included some of the best new music found over a period of only two weeks (including Foals, Patrick Watson, Flamingo Crash). Twelve email-”editions” and about 50 bands later,  this old website was up and running:

Since the old website, Indie Shuffle has come a long way. Today, we are happy to be able to bring you some of the best music we can find in a quick, clean, and enjoyable format.
