Shmat Records Partnership

Well, this will probably come as no surprise to anyone who’s been following the Palebear and Shmat Records sites. But now it’s official. Palebear will now be the review publishing arm for ALL material that is submitted, leaving Shmat Records to concentrate on releasing music.

In the past, we’ve shared a PO Box with Shmat so nothing really changes. If you’re coming here from Shmat Records and are interested in having your music reviewed, you’ll be happy to know that the drill is pretty much the same: please read the submission policies. Then send your music in.

Note, there’s no need to email to ask if we’ll accept it. We will. Whether it gets reviewed is a different story. We will not guarantee we will review ANYTHING. I don’t care if you’re the most famous indie band on the planet. Or the least famous indie band, for that matter.

The good news is… we DO accept web submissions of links to MP3s, if you would like to submit that way instead of snail mail. Shmat Records‘ policy was no electronic submissions, but in keeping with the times Palebear DOES. Blame it on the Itunes revolution. However, please read the submission policies about how to submit songs for review electronically.

Ok, that’s that… we’ve got to get busy on reviewing some of the Shmat packages that have come in. See you all soon.
