Tinderbox Music is a Minneapolis based promotions firm specializing in independent and label opportunities for music. They've been working deep inside music for well over a decade. Tinderbox Music pursues press, tour support, music licensing and distribution for hundreds of acts each year. Fundamentally however, Tinderbox is preeminently hired to service the music directors captaining radio stations with music (a CD, yes still) that they'll embrace. Their goal is to find three to four best acts for each weekly radio station add and represent them to both college and community radio (The CMJ Format). A national radio campaign can take a regional band from Denver, Chicago, or Charlotte and make them appear to be breaking nationally. Thus this buzz can open doors for a publicist to garner press nationally on an act. In the first quarter of 2010, Tinderbox has already charted 12 bands in the highly coveted CMJ Top 200. Eight of these bands were self-released and three of these band came from Sonicbids.
Additionally, Tinderbox Music has placed nearly five hundred songs in the past seven years to the television industry to these shows: Grey’s Anatomy, Chuck, The O.C., Men in Trees, The Real World, The Hills, Bad Girls Club, My Life as Liz, and many others…
Services vary and fees can be based on availability.
So why does this service cost money? We’re like a lot of other things in the music industry. If you go into a studio, you’re going to pay for them to record your disc and for their experience. Getting discs made? You’re going to have to pay for them to be made. And having someone promote your disc to radio, press, licensing, etc… that actually has experience and will do a good job is going to be the same case.
So why does it cost $4 to submit to Tinderbox Music? Tinderbox wants quality music that's ready for what we do. You'd prefer timely feedback of your music and strategies to make it successful. Respectfully, when you pay a little to get noticed, you deserve just that. They're committed to listening to your music as a staff and offering you a reply within seven days. It would cost $4 to send them a physical press kit anyway. Save the trip to the post office until someone asks for a disc. While their roster is always changing, you can check out their current roster and all of their results by www.TinderboxMusic.com. Slots will be reserved for Sonicbids artists.
