indie-cds promotions updated July 11th 2005

Indie-CDs.com promotes its artists by sending free promotional copies to a number of radio stations for airplay, and occasionally to press for reviews. We strongly encourage our artists to allocate a generous amount of CD stock for this.The list of contacts we send to currently is here. Note that we do not send all CDs to all stations - many programmes are genre specific and we cover a very wide range of music on indie-cds.com If you are a radio presenter who would like to be added to our lists please contact us via the site contact form. This list is also constantly changing in practice so this is a general guide.
