Submissions
We are fully open to any submissions
for future reviews. So if you have a CD or product and
would like FREE promotion
from one of the best guitar related sites on the net, send
it in! Please use this simple
online form to send us your request.
Special Notice: We
are loaded with reviews! Estimated review time
for a new submission is 4-months for CDs. Product reviews
are in a 3-4 week time frame.
PLEASE FILL OUT ALL FORM FIELDS!
Rules:
- Use the online form for submission.
- Don't expect us to purchase the CD or product from
you. We are promoting the product and remember we
don't get paid! The Shred Zone is here to help promote
new artists that deserve world wide attention. In another
words, FREE PROMOTION! If
you expect payment for the album you not get a review
or sale. Please try to understand our viewpoint.
- Please send any a press kit with cd or product so we
can learn more about the material sent.
- Please ship the item(s) protectively. If shipping from
outside the United States of America please mark NO
VALUE, PROMOTIONAL ITEMS ONLY on the envelope or box.
So that way foreign and US customs decide not to open and
go through your mailing to us. It just makes things run
more smoothly and we get the materials faster.
- After receiving the mailing, we will review it with
in a few weeks, so don't worry we will get to it. We
usually get 4-6 in at a time, and we do them in order in
which we receive them. We have never had any problems yet
and all of our musicians have been overly satisfied with
our work. Please allow for 10-18weeks for review,
I know this is a repeat, but we don't want to piss anyone
off. We are heavily load with reviews and it will take
some time to get to them. So please don't harass us about
the review, there isn't a huge staff here!
- You will be contacted when we receive the mailing, to
let you know we got it and that it's ok.
- Be prepared to email us pictures, and any relevant material
so we can make your review more eye pleasing to our patrons.
- Also, be aware we will most defiantly contact you for
an interview and we might ask you to write a guitar or
bass lesson for The Shred Zone. We like to help spotlight
artists, so the more you appear the more you get known.
Plus lots of our viewers are guitarists that love to improve
their playing all the time, so help a fellow shredder learn
the ropes.
- Lastly, LET US REPEAT IT AGAIN:
Please note that it takes a while to get to your
CD or product review posted. Remember were not getting
paid to review and print our articles. So IT WILL take
time to get to them seeing we usually have 80+ items
at a time to review! Please don't email us and get
mad that we didn't get to it within a week or two. We
are doing our best to get to them as fast as we can.
We do have lives you know. Sorry, but that's how it goes.
So that's all! We don't
mean to come off being rude, but we just want things to run
smooth for everyone. Reviews take a lot of time to
put together. As you have noticed we don't write a few sentences
and or a paragraph or two. We review the album track by track,
pointing out highlights to the readers. No BS like most guitar
site reviews. So if you feel like sending us a free CD hurts
your pocket, just think that your getting free and QUALITY
promotion in return. We have built great relationships with
our current artists and product companies. So thanks for
checking out our site, and we hope to hear from you soon. We
love speaking with artists and working with them.
Along with that, The Shred
Zone has been receiving lots of product / gear items in for
review. So if you're a company that's new or would just like
to have you latest and greatest products reviewed and promoted
send them to us. Remember potential customers could be reading
about your product now!
Thanks,
