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 half of 2010, Tinderbox has already charted 19 bands in the highly coveted CMJ Top 200, with thirteen of these bands being self-released.


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.
