Music Scene Media is passionate about discovering and supporting new artists, and we welcome submissions from artists, bands, and publicists whose work aligns with our editorial focus.
MSM is transitioning to focus exclusively on the alt and heavy scenes, as well as the subcultures that define the scene.
THE VIBES: alternative or scene-adjacent subculture, underground or DIY, and could realistically share the same lineup as artists who are in the following categories.
GENRES (not an all-inclusive list): Pop Punk, Emo, Post Hardcore, Alt-Rock, Dark Pop, Alt-Pop, Deathcore, Death Metal, Easycore, Emo Rap, Grunge, Hardcore, Hard Rock, Metalcore, Nu-Metal, Shoegaze, Punk
Before submitting, please review the guidelines below carefully.
We do review all submissions, but due to the high volume we receive, we’re unable to cover every artist or release. Submitting your music does not guarantee coverage or a response. If your submission is selected, a member of our team will be in touch directly.
Please do not send follow-up emails regarding submission status. Thank you for understanding and for respecting our process.
Submission Tips
To help your submission stand out, please ensure:
- All streaming and press links are working
- You include relevant release details (song title, release date, location, genre)
- Your submission aligns with the genres we regularly cover (see our scope above)
Incomplete submissions or those outside our editorial scope may not be reviewed.
Thank you for thinking of Music Scene Media and for sharing your work with us!
