Cambridge Rock Festival, 2014

Let GRTR! preview your event or tour!

Previews can be used in social media or on artist websites

During the past few weeks we've been previewing several summer festivals including SOS (Manchester, 14-16 July) and Cambridge Rock (3-6 August).

Typically, these previews highlight some of the artists featured and provide a taster for the event which could be used in social media feeds and/or websites.

Says Get Ready to ROCK! Radio's David Randall: "This sort of promotion can be used for any event or tour and can be combined with interview material to provide background."

If you would like further information about how this could work for you or your artist(s) please let us know.

Some examples are available at www.getreadytorock.com

How can we help?

What can we offer artists and labels in terms of promotion?

  • We can jointly promote via our associated website www.getreadytorock.com - one of the web's main rock destinations for over 250,000 unique users each month.  Gig and album reviews are consistently high in Google for maximum visibility.
     

  • Reviews take - on average - less than 2 minutes* to get to the top of Google after publication - great visibility, and especially useful for an early tour review...
     

  • The radio station "tweets" the playlist in real time and also links directly to Last.FM - we brand each tweet with a genre hashtag.  Music lovers are more likely to find your music. 
     

  • Selected shows are available via Mixcloud, another way of getting your music out there via our interview features/specials.
     

  • Our sponsored label and artist showcases highlight your product via radio, website and in iTunes.
     

  • Our "In Session" series is a further vehicle to show an artist's depth in the context of an acoustic or live performance.

Get Ready to ROCK! is independent and has built an enviable reputation for informed, enthusiastic, eclectic and comprehensive coverage since 2002.  We're not just metal, we're not just hard rock, we also support prog, blues and back catalogue as much as the contemporary.

Mixcloud

If you can't listen live...listen again!

You can catch up on various show highlights and interview/features via our Mixcloud page.  It's also a great way of sampling our output.

For artists and labels, our Mixcloud media is another way of getting your music "out there".  In respect of interview specials our presenters examine in some depth an artist's career and each sequence is sprinkled with carefully selected tracks that provide a fair and sometimes rare view of back catalogue.

For the listener this is a great way of catching up with an artist's output and discovering new material thereby informing future purchases.

Our Mixcloud material can easily be shared in social media or embedded in artist/label websites.

For our US listeners we also supply an alternative to the Mixcloud platform where possible, due to copyright restrictions in the USA.

How do we make our selection?  We use feedback from presenters and reviewers, and their opinions at www.getreadytorock.com

The aim is to signpost new artists where possible but not always the most obvious track or single and/or albums/artists worthy of further investigation.  Many selections are previewed in our weekly 'New to GRTR!' sequence.
