Bands are usually pretty bad at communicating with the press or bloggers or anyone in radio , Unless they have assistants or people who know more about marketing and promotion than they do helping them. Making music , writing songs, recording and practicing are what a band is usually doing, not learning how the "right way to approach" media or music writers. For most musicians this stuff is just annoying and one more reason it seems like a drag to get anywhere....it is the side of being in a band that alot of bands find lame and a waste of time yet they still expect and hope to be noticed for their music . Its like it never dawns upon some bands that maybe half the bands getting coverage out there are the ones properly submitting themselves and communicating with the press. These little rules of how to do this or how to do that just aren't even realized by most bands. DIY Bands that have intentions of making a a living need to wake up and get educated on these sorts of things and realize being in a band is not enough if you want to be noticed . It means doing alot of other things that seem to have nothing to do with playing or creating music. And if you aren't out there doing those things then maybe get a manager or PR person , publicist to do it for you which all costs money . Time is money and it takes time and energy to promote a band, to spread the word, to build relationships on behalf of a band . If these things are not done on the bands own time and energy then it will be done on someones else's . Eventually fans and media spread the word but until then .... If no one does it then the band remains unknown inevitably. Bands try to get themselves noticed but have no idea that their approach is off and that it isn't their music sometimes but just their approach that is wrong. Alot of bands think that its all about their music , but fail to realize alot of preferential treatment is given to bands who have developed a rapport with certain bloggers or media. Relationships have been built, I'll scratch if you scratch etc. sorry for the ramble people! I just know so many bands that fail to realize the importance of not only learning what to do but how to do it when it comes to promoting their music! Thanks for this info Noiseporn, Most bands just don’t know better!!

As someone who's run a record label I've always been torn between the informal approach or sending through a press release, artwork etc. I'm used to doing that with printed press, but got the impression that bloggers didn't like being 'PR'd' by labels. Good to know that you appreciate our efforts! Oh, and to the person who seems to think being sent music from labels is bad way of discovering it - you must be missing out on a hell of a lot of good tunes! It's down to the blogger whether they post it or not, nobody is forcing them to! Interesting and informative post.
