Demo Policy
We love music. LOVE it. So yes, we’re happy to listen to your band’s demo. We’ve even signed bands on the strength of their demo, and will probably do it again someday.
Here’s what we ask:
These are the things we are: Interesting noise rock, garage, punkish, power pop, postpunk, off-center songwriter and weirdo music. If your band is one of those things, by all means, drop us a note.
If your band makes a kind of music we are not, you’re really wasting your time by sending it to us. It would be best to send your music to a different label. We recommend Sub Pop.
Also, quite sadly: it seems that we’ve somehow gotten ourselves added to some list somewhere of record labels for bands to blast out unsolicited demos to. As a result of this, we’re getting hammered by unsolicited demos from bands that don’t sound like anything that would ever come out on Dromedary. We think this is inconsiderate, and have to draw the line somewhere, so if we receive an unsolicited email that makes it clear you have no idea who we are or what we do (and that includes just lifting language right from our website to put into the body of your email), we have to just delete that email and block the sender. We’re not trying to sound smug or hipper than thou, it’s just that we really can’t listen to it all, and when it’s clear we’re reading an email that was broadcast to a thousand labels and not one that was sent from someone who actually thinks our label might be a good home for their music, that’s a good place to draw the line.
If your lyrics, band, or general attitude infers misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, or right-wing ideology, we are not the company for you.
PLEASE DON’T EMAIL US MP3 FILES. We can’t really stress this enough. Send an email to info@dromedary-records.com with a little info on your band to whet our appetite, and a link to someplace online where we can hear your music. If your band is awesome, we’ll email you and ask for more. If you email us an MP3 file without our asking for it, we’re just going to delete it and not respond. We just can’t download all those giant files and we’re afraid of malware anyway.
If you absolutely need to mail us something the old-fashioned way, use the address above.
As much as we’d like to respond to every single reasonable demo we receive, it’s not possible anymore, mostly because web crawlers and bots and such have ruined it for everyone and we now get tons of email from bands that actually don’t know they even sent it. If you email us something, we promise: we got your email. Please don’t email again and again – it’ll just frustrate us both. We respond to all emails that make sense for us to respond to. If we don’t respond to you, we are doing you a favor by not wasting your time, since we’re not the right home for your music. We still love you.
Please don’t be offended if we don’t come see your band play. That said, if you’re playing in the Hudson Valley or Catskills, let us know anyway!
