1 Step 1
Skip The Playlist Queue

Submit your track to us using the form below. After selecting, you'll be redirected to PayPal to pay the $2 fee for skipping the submit queue and get a guaranteed response within 72 hours. Using this option doesn't mean we're adding your track, simply we're going to listen to yours first.


Find our playlists HERE. Please check (and listen to) the playlists before submitting so you'll get a feel of the playlist's niche/genre/mood.


We're using these fees to promote the playlists to an even bigger audience and grow as a platform. 

NB. please check your 'spam' inbox too, as our replies sometimes end up there. When you're redirected to PayPal, we have successfully received your submission. You will not be redirected back to ForTheLoveOfBands.com automatically.

PlaylistPick the one(s) you'd like to submit to. If you want to submit different tracks, use this form again. Please note we don't feature hip hop, rap, edm & house on our playlists.

Submission FAQ

Submissons

We’re open to many genres and have various playlists featuring those. We don’t feature Hip Hop, Rap, RnB, House, Techno (and related).

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

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.

Currently the PayPal integration doesn’t allow us to redirect to our website when successfully submitted and donated. When you’re redirected to PayPal, we already got your submission 😊 So there’s nothing to worry 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.

We’ll tag you on your socials.

We share on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Steemit, Whaleshares, Narrative, Pinterest, Feedspot, Publc and via RSS.

If you’ve chosen the Skip The Queue option 1, you can e-mail support@fortheloveofbands.com. All Skip The Queue options are listened to within 72 hours of submitting. If we fail to do so, we refund the amount you paid.

On Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, YouTube, Soundcloud and Tidal.

  • New Music: not older than three months
  • 90 Minutes Rising Indie Mixtape: not older than three months
  • Indie Music 2019: released after November 2018
  • NEW ROCK For Hefty Folks: Not older than three months

We’re looking for Alternative, Indie, Indie Pop, Rock, Folk, Country and anything in between. No Hip Hop, Rap, Heavy Metal, Grime or R&B though.
