ReverbNation Does Distribution, EPK’s, and Takes Out The Trash
I’ve been waiting for this day to arrive for a few months now!
ReverbNation quietly rolled out too hugely freakin’ important things over the weekend that further proves why they are the coolest kids on the block.
First, they’ve put together their answer to Sonic Bids by creating RPK’s (RevebNation Press Kits). The service costs 6 bucks a month (totally worth it) to email these very neat-o electronic press kits to whoever needs them – and combined with the Reverb Gig-Finder tool (which BTW is a very large database of venues that you can search by location) is a great way to book gigs.
Here’s a sneak peak at a press kit – notice how you can view the stats of a band to see how well they’re doing on the Reverb charts – an important tool when you’re trying to sell yourself to a venue. If they see that you have momentum and that you have a fanbase, they’re more likely to book you!
Second big deal from Reverb is their new digital distribution service. Watch out Tunecore, because for sixty bucks a year Reverb will put that album all over the web at the big digital music stores (iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, etc).
For all the juicy details about the service, go to the FAQ page to learn the ins and outs of having Reverb handle your distribution.
With the addition of these new services, it’s a no-brainer question on whether or not you should set up shop on ReverbNation.com. They seem to have everything you need to get going. What will they start doing next, taking out the trash? I wouldn’t be surprised.
