When will my favorite Volf Records band come to my town?
To get your favourite VR band to come to your town, let us know where you are. We would love to send a band your way to play you a show.
I saw an awesome VR band shirt at a show. Where do I get one?
You should be able to by the shirt at the concert. If they didn't have them or they ran out, email us, or talk to the band about getting one. Hopefully soon we will have a webstore up so you can buy whenever you want.
How does a band get signed to VR?
Lots of practice, hard work and dedication....and playing music that doesn't suck usually helps too.
We look for a lot of things when signing bands. The most important things are the music and potential. A strong work ethic and members with great personalities and ideas are also very important as we work really closely with our bands and talk to them daily.
Do all you can for your band before trying to get signed to a label. Record and press an EP, book your own shows, promote your band online, start a street team, trade shows with bands from out of town, etc. Putting all you can into your band will attract labels wishing to do the same.
My band wants to send in a demo. What should it be like?
It should stand out and sound good. We get a lot of friend requests and we normally don't listen to you unless you send a demo. Even if the demo is just a basement recording or what is on you MySpace, go ahead and send it.
What does Volf Records do for the bands?
We work closely with the bands, to make sure we're doing as much as possible to get our bands and their music out to as many potential fans as possible. We help with everything from album and tour promotion to merchandising.
How can I help promote the bands on Volf Records?
The easiest and most powerful thing you can do is tell your friends. If you see a band play an amazing show or hear a great song, tell your friend to check it out, too.
How can I get involved in the music business? Answer from Fueled By Ramen
There are plenty of ways to get started - especially in your local music scene. Put on shows, get a college radio show, promote your favorite bands and meet as many people as possible. Find a skill that you are good at and a find a way to apply it to the music industry. Are you a good artist? Design merchandise for your favorite band or local bands. Love sitting on the Internet? Post on band message boards. There is so much you can do to get involved, it's just a matter of making the effort.
From John: Anybody can get involved if they have the right attitude, work ethic and passion. You can say this about anything, but it is true. Almost everyone starts at the bottom and works their way up. I started the label because I did not know how to play any instruments, but I loved music and wanted to be involved. If you are passionate do whatever you can do to be involved. Help bands you love, intern (labels, management, booking agents, etc.), get involved in street teams, etc.
How do I get in touch with a band for publicity purposes?
Check the bands' individual pages to get in touch with their publicists. Submit your request for photo passes, show reviews and interviews to them.
---Send us your Demos!! We'll listen and get back to you.----
