Indie Music Blogs
For indie music artists looking for coverage on indie music blogs, it can be a time consuming process to collect the contact information for indie music bloggers. Instead of having artists, which may already be on limited resources, spend hours finding blogs to send their music, along with the emails of the websites, we decided to create a comprehensive list of indie music blog contacts. In this list you will find the name of the blog, along with the contact email, Twitter account, and a short summary of what the blog represents. You can use this list to submit music to indie music blogs that are a good fit for you.
Do not use this list to send mass emails. Please make sure and view the blog, and see if your content is a good fit, and send a personalized message.
Any blogs that would like to be added or removed from this list, please contact us here.
