Hi there,
I have a brand new full studio album finished and ready to be released in the fall. Even after all the studying and prepping I've done I'm still unsure if I should hire PR to help release the album or hire a radio promoter or both. I've been in contact with some major radio promo companies who want to promote my music to non-commercial stations. They've won many industry awards and worked with lots of small musicians and well known top 40 acts. The problem is they are not cheap and could possibly need double to triple the amount of time I can afford to get my music aired on the radio. Should I even try? Do I even have a chance getting reviewed by respected blogs and online publications without the help of a PR company? What's the best way to take my music to the next level? The new release is an alternative concept album, but heavy with hooks. Thanks for your time.
