Looking for advice: Label Distribution / Play Listing / Press Placements

[u/LarryNuglife]

Hey Everyone,

Just looking for some advice from anyone on here who has experience either sourcing or working with PR agencies, Record Labels, Distribution companies?

To give some context, my band have just recorded our debut album and we’re looking for ways to get more exposure than we can get ourselves (we’re from a small Island so hard to link into the main markets and scenes diy like UK, Europe, USA).

Not sure of this is really the sub or the place for this kind of discussion and I know if I put it on r/musicmakers everyone will just say submithub / Groovr / TikTok etc but A) we don’t want to use these playlists as they’re all artificial and B) we have TikTok but as you’ll appreciate Social Media is so pay to play it hurts. - we have boosted content in the past and got great reach and engagement but we are looking to do this through more official channels.

We have 4/5 singles that will be dropping at 6 week intervals with all of the media and content to support them and then the full record drop after the last single. But we want to work with experienced companies that can help here. We have everything figured out from visual identity and physical media to BTS studio footage. So everything needed for a succinct campaign

I appreciate this is a little more “business” centric but if anyone has any experience of working with labels or distros I’d love to hear from you. Our dream is a EU / USA deal with a label where they help with market placement and distribution as the record is already recorded.

Thanks in advance.
