Submission FAQ

Submissons

What genres don’t you feature on your playlists?

We’re open to many genres and have various playlists featuring those. We don’t feature Hip Hop, Rap, RnB, Afro Beats, Trap, House, Techno (and related). In fact, We call ourselves For The Love Of Bands and don’t feature many electronic genres so be it might be best to find a curator within your niche.

What if I have questions about my submission?

E-mail support@fortheloveofbands.com and tell us what’s up!

What if I don’t hear something back?

We try to listen to all regular submissions. Because of the volume of submissions, we simply can’t listen to all submissions, let alone respond to them. We try to e-mail all artists that are accepted on one of our playlists with the good news though.

How do you decide who to write about?

All review submissions end up in a shared Dropbox folder that we share with all contributors. Every contributor picks his/her next writing project from there.
