Demo Submission Policy

UPDATE 1/4/07! As a result of years of mismanagement and imprudent spending, Kelleystein Recordings shut its doors in early 2007. We will no longer accept demo submissions. Sorry!

We strive for long-lasting, meaningful relationships with our artists. While we love to hear new stuff and appreciate your interest in working with us, we are not only extremely selective in who we choose to represent, but also very limited in how much time we have to explore new music. We wish we could help every band whose music we love, but unfortunately it's just not that simple. There are a myriad of factors that we take into account before signing a new artist. Primarily, if you have not played outside of your town extensively or booked your own tour, it is highly unlikely that we would consider you. While that may sound strange, we recommend that all acts book their own tours initially if only to experience what it's like. If you're going to have someone handle your touring it's a good idea to know what they will be doing for you. Secondly, we make our living on a percentage of your touring income and album sales. If you haven't played around much, well, we really don't want to take your gas and food. There are of course exceptions to the rules. If you have obtained some national press, have a publicist in place, have gotten airplay, etc., we may be interested even if you have little touring history.
