Most up and coming bands face many a task in promoting themselves,
often holding down day jobs whilst running their band and generally
trying to step up a level and keep progressing. Whilst many PR
officers will charge a high monthly fee, VOLCANIC PR offers
a no strings, low cost, one-off profile boost.
We work with you on a single release basis, we take a number
of copies of your band's demo/sampler/EP/Album (preferably in
plastic slip cases not jewel cases), a one-off fee and if possible
one or two high quality photos of your band.
We will then write you a professional quality biography collate
a press pack and use our extensive database of contacts (underground
media, student media, national media, record labels, booking agents,
promoters, A&R) to garner your band reviews, feedback, exposure
and hopefully mega-stardom, whilst leaving you worry free to concentrate
singularly on making music!
Between our staff members we have experience in many sides of
the industry, from fanzine writing to tour management for high
profile artists, to playing/touring in bands, to working for ticketing
agencies, to full term management of bands in worldwide territories.
We offer three packages aimed at three different levels from
taking baby steps for new bands to offering an industry based
push for more established, regularly gigging bands, to an all
out combination of the two for bands that are established, gigging,
possibly touring but need some aid taking the next crucial step.
The 'INFECTION Package - we take 100 CD's and £200
The 'EPIDEMIC Package - we take 200 CD's and £400*
The 'DEVASTATION Package - we take 300 CD's and £600*
*Whilst VOLCANIC PR wishes to work with
as many artistes as possible the 'Epidemic' and 'Devastation'
packages can only be offered to suitable artistes who are career
minded, have a regular profile and have already taken their first
steps onto the UK/Regional live touring circuit.
Also we will always advise on the best
level package to suit your band and aim to work well within the
market place we feel your band is at. VOLCANIC PR will
not take on a band purely for the sake of financial gain.
'Infection' - The Infection package is aimed at building
your band's reputation on a 'grass roots' level. Your music will
be sent to underground media - fanzines, student radio, DIY promoters
and smaller venues. We will aim to boost your bands profile, get
you a higher volume of website traffic, spread your bands name
on an underground level and generally increase awareness.
'Epidemic' - The next logical step. The Epidemic package
will push your band on the same level as the infection package
but also start to push further into the industry - bigger booking
agents/promoters, record labels, national media and underground
media. The epidemic package is aimed at creating awareness and
building on it instantly to achieve a reputation with fans and
industry alike as well as gaining your band published reviews.
'Devastation' - An all-out war on the senses! The Devastation
package covers the full gamut from underground media and general
awareness to pushing your discs to national magazines, national
radio, key A&R figures, booking agents, record labels (both
large and small), and heavy online promotion coupled with 'street
team' style promotion. 'Devastation' is aimed at equally building
a fanbase and also building your band's reputation on the inside
of the industry machine in a short space of time.
We are also in the process of launching 'VOLCANIC RECORDS'
an in-house label aimed at signing and promoting heavy guitar-based
bands. Whilst our PR packages in no way guarantee the label working
with your band, any bands we enjoy working with and heavily believe
in musically, are likely to be involved in any viable tie-ins
with the label to benefit both our career and the bands.
