Summary: Original Article: https://bandzoogle.com/blog/the-8-things-that-should-be-in-every-band-s-digital-press-kit Today on ManageMental, Blasko and Mike answer a question from Chris, a loyal listener, and discuss an article written by their buddy Dave Cool of Bandzoogle to talk about press kits and EPK’s. You might remember Dave from Episode 55, check it out if you haven’t already. This is gonna be killer, so let’s get mental! I have an idea for a topic to be covered on the podcast, as I haven't heard much about it and I think it would be really beneficial for anyone in the underground scene to learn more about: Press Kits Now this is another two part question, as the platforms for press kits are delivered in both physical and online forms. So the first question to you and Mike, What are you guys looking for in online press kits? Is there a model you use with the bands on your roster to fit certain criteria? The second question: I imagine you and Mike are constantly bombarded with press kits from bands looking for management. My band is currently creating physical press kits to send to both labels and management companies. Are physically shipping press kits to labels and management effective in this day and age? Do you guys even dive into packages from unknown bands anymore? If so what are things you'd like to see in physical press packs?
