525 Power Tracks Music Submission Guidelines and Information

We are continuously looking for new music to add to the 525 Power Tracks playlist and we welcome your submissions

NOTE: All songs MUST BE 192 KBPS or better. We do not even listen to anything that is less. Your song has to be 192 or better for broadcast and we just don't have the time to re-contact bands for the correct mp3s, even if we really like what we hear.

Also: Please name your songs properly - "Track 01" doesn't cut it.

Our genre:
Rock, Hard Rock and Metal. Of course there are tons of sub-genres and we love them all!

Our philosophy:
If it ROCKS, we play it! Regardless if a band is labeled or not. We pride ourselves in finding unsigned and/or indie artists and introducing their music to our world-wide audience.

Submission Rules
There are some rules, and ultimately we will decide if your music fits our format closely enough to make it on the air. Please keep our format in mind when you submit music to 525 Power Tracks. If you're not sure, take some time and listen to the station or go through our playlist under the Request Tunes tab of our website. This will give you an idea of what we play and if the band's music fits our format. We are also interested in hearing the whole CD rather than just the one single being released from that CD. So please feel free to mail us your CD. Again, if it ROCKS we play it!

If we are playing your music, We ask that you ad a sexy 525 Power Tracks banner like this one or our website link to your website and MySpace page let your fans know where your music can be heard!

We go above and beyond to help bands get the recognition they deserve because we love and believe in the music and this genre. AND we know how hard it is to make it in this business! We invite and ask that you as the band and your street teamers get involved to help us spread the word.
