Info Submission Guidelines
How bands, publicists, and labels can send press releases and music to the Rockers And Other Animals editorial team and record label for coverage or review.
Press Releases
Material sent for news coverage should be complete and ready to publish: press releases need to be accompanied by photos and relevant links (official site, social pages, streaming or video links) so the editorial team can build a proper feature.

Music Submissions For The Label
Bands and labels looking to submit music tied to the Rockers And Other Animals Records side of the operation should use the dedicated label address:
Keep submissions organized by genre and include any supporting links so material can be routed to the right section of the site.
Editorial desks covering heavy metal, hard rock, and the wider family of guitar-driven subgenres often rely on a steady stream of incoming material from independent bands, publicists, and small labels. A dedicated submission page helps keep that flow organized, signaling what kind of contributions are welcome and in what shape they should arrive. For a webzine focused on classic sounds and contemporary descendants alike, clear intake guidelines reduce back-and-forth and let writers spend more time on reviews, interviews, and the long-form features that define the publication's voice.
General guidelines typically ask that promotional material be press-ready rather than rough sketches, with finished copy that can be lightly edited and published as news. Supporting assets matter just as much as the words themselves, since high-quality photographs, cover art, and official logos give editors something concrete to illustrate a story with. Links to streaming pages, video channels, and band websites make it easier for readers to continue exploring once an article goes live, and they help the editorial team verify details before publication.
Behind the scenes, a small magazine staff balances submissions against a calendar of reviews, live reports, and archival pieces spanning decades of loud, melodic, and underground music. Establishing a single point of contact for press releases, physical promos, and digital advances keeps the workflow humane and predictable, which matters for an independent publication working with limited resources. When senders respect those boundaries, the result is a healthier exchange between the writers and the artists whose work they champion.
