Message Boards

The message boards have been replaced by Our Discord as it has a lot more features that allow us to communicate with each other in a better way.

You may still post on here and you will get some replies but we would really recommend you join us on Discord as it is a very vibrant community of independent musicians.


Please log in to post.

Add links to other websites that you think would be of use to our members. Please note that we want this to be a high quality list so if there are a lot of negative comments on any posts then they will be removed.

benefiting from my minimal efforts on the RepostExchange so far, appears to be an equitable means of helping other artists struggling to get heard. on a selfish note- if interested and you make use of the link provided, they send me bonus credits :~)

Yes I gave up on it in the end. Seems dominated by rap, hip hop, etc. and the genres don`t seem to work well for "rock" so it was too time consuming.

The concept is great though so maybe it will be improved over time.

Alright, they want a generic genre on the soundcloud track. Not worth it to me. I like my Acoustic Prog Punk and Palo Rockero descriptions. Much more definitive than Alternative rock (where everything from hiphop to ambient was labeled). Also find their selections of tunes mostly uninspiring so it`s very time consuming to find one worth reposting.

Cool, I used your link. Then I asked for rock and it gave me electronic. Was looking for your tunes to repost and just got a list of who reposted you. Guess I`ll figure it out when there`s time.

I second that about RE. Its a service unlike many other that do provide smth without immediately going for your wallet.

If your looking for plays & reposts without having to pay a dime look no further than SoundCloud. All you need to do is look under the search engine Free Reposts (Genre) follow the pages & submit your tracks.. before you know it the followers of that page will listen. Also promoting your tracks properly is a big part of getting plays as well. Adding as much related pages as you can on Facebook as another good way. Hope this helps you in the near future :)

Hi everyone,
If you have some cash available to promote your music and would like to extend your reach try out Feature.fm
For a small weekly fee you can put your song in rotation on various streaming sites or music blog posts. Don`t expect much feedback, however, expect more people to hear about you and probably add you to their playlists.

If you`re ( or your band ) is around Brighton, do check out BlackRock Subway Studios that is right on the seafront and welcomes all sorts of music to be rehearsed and recorded. The staff (Austen Gayton) is the head of the veteran punk band Flatpig and runs studios for decades. The old place (Studio 284) was closed down due to the collapse of the Promenade but the facility re-opened under the new name (above) and is operating with two rooms, full recording equipment. Punk prices, late night rehearsals and other goodies for all who gets in touch! https://www.facebook.com/Punk284k/

This site offers no fee distribution on Spotify, Deezer, Amazon, Google and Apple for a 15% Royality cut.
I used it to distribute a song now. Its already live on Deezer and Spotify. Seems cool site, even if its hard to contact someone, it rather seems all automatic stuff, Anyway, Im gonna report further, when i get the first sales report...

This is a pretty detailed system that allows you to schedule SoundCloud reposts on other people`s accounts! https://pumpyoursound.com

I have set some accounts up and it really does save a lot of time as long as you trust the people you are working with.

If you want to give it a try then use an existing repost account or create a new one then join using "sign up with SoundCloud" and click on "Multi Accounts" under the orange button on the top right and add https://soundcloud.com/atomrepost1

The key here is to not get greedy and make sure you repost playlists with other people`s tracks on as well as your own no more than about 6 times a day.

Apparently all the massive networks use this system.

Let me know if you have signed up and what your repost account is and I`ll check it out.

Thank You Juxta John for letting me drop this here. http://tea-man.co.uk/ is a new community website called Yes Please - It is an Underground Music Community. It will act as a music hub/directory joining the community closer together to create something special. Between the community we hold radio stations, streaming sites, gallerys, services etc. This will help link each other together. Lots to do such as advertise ur business, songs,videos, artwork, chat options,forums, groups so on. Thanks Sean (Tea Man )

Hi to you all! I might have a good music platform for you, I`m already member for a half year and the site is growing just like this place :)

--> Drooble.com A kind of facebook dedicated to musicians / people who have a connection with music where you can earn points for promotion of your music. But also a place where we can advise each other and ask questions.
Also, they have a great feature: a Press Kitt. A very handy tool that provides all your info and music. --> here`s mine so you can see what I mean! https://drooble.com/press-kit/rinko.serlier

The website is Drooble.com and it`s also free. You can refer to me (Rinko) when you`re subscribing, that gives me extra points!

Enjoy your sunday! Cheers, Rinko

Yes you are right about that. I`m a supporting volunteer community manager there for a while now. If you got questions, you can always contact me if you like. I know Drooble as a very supportive platform, indeed just like ACR :) I`m spending time on both mostly.

I have been a member for a while also and they seem to have the same ethos as me.

They have also been in contact about how we can work together to help unsigned artists.

I`m finding it a little confusing to use at the moment but will persevere and see how we can work together.
