Since we've been getting a lot of cool requests from bands to check out their stuff, we decided to put together this list of things to make it easier for us to check them out. Here we go....Drum roll, please.....
  1. Send a copy of your music (CD, CDR or cassette tape -- NO MP3s) to the following address:

    • A-F Records/A&R
    • P.O. Box 71266
    • Pittsburgh PA 15213

  2. Make sure that all of your important contact info is written/printed on the CD or tape itself. (Hell, we'd lose our heads if they weren't attached to our bodies, so including all of your contact info in the tape/CD itself will help such misfortunes from happening.)

    The contact info that we need you to include is as follows:

    • Band Name
    • Primary Contact Name
    • Address
    • Phone Number
    • E-mail Address
    • Website Address

  3. Please send along a bio (who is in the band, when you started, who you've played with, any tours you have done), and ANY cool press (Reviews, write ups in local papers, zines, school mags), photos or videos of your group. (Live shows rule!) We want to know as much about your band as possible and all of those extra goodies will help us understand more of what you're about.

Remember - Patience is a virtue! We do our very best to listen to all demo submissions in a timely fashion, but unfortunately, these things DO take time. Please be patient.

If we like what you're doing or if we think we can help you out in any way, we will get in touch with you ASAP. As tempting as it may be, please refrain from contacting us regarding the status of your demo. Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to contact everyone personally about their music, but currently, we are simply too overworked!!!!

MOST IMPORTANTLY, Remember this -- If we can't help you out, it doesn't mean that someone else cool can't either. If you believe in what your doing and you love your band, we encourage you to contact as many people as possible to find the situation that will work out best for YOU. Hey, If you don't find it with us, you may find it with one of our best friends!

Best of luck and take care!
The A-F Records Clan
