We've gotten press featured in a variety of publications [under
other another guise]; Village Voice, NY Press, Popmatters, Time
Out NY, and Rolling Stone, just to name a few.
At Argyle, we are whole-heartedly committed to bringing you the
best possible service and making you a fixture on the music journalism
map.
Send a copy of your record or demo and we'll be able to better
determine how to promote you and how inspired we are to take on
your project.

We do offer flexible options in order to best suit every possible

to discuss your project and what we can do to spread the word!
FULL SERVICE
This is a comprehensive package that includes: complete press-kit
production, mailing, and follow-up with writers. We provide continuous
contact with journalists to ensure maximum coverage for the duration
of the project. The length of this service can range from 4 weeks
to 12 weeks. This is intense and requires at least one month in
order to produce significant results and get more in depth feedback
from writers and critics.
Below is the list of tailor-made campaign variables that may be
interchanged and combined with one another in order to effectively
produce the desired results. Again, contact us for rates and schedule
availability.
BIO
We will fashion a one-sheet to service dually as a biography or
one-sheet [2 drafts and a final version]to be added to one of our
other services, or to turn over to you, to do with as you please.
MAILING
Give us the materials and we shove 'em in a jiffy with our official
logo on it and send it off to writers and critics. At the very least,
include a one-sheet, photo or jpeg, and record [7", or cassette],
feel free to enclose buttons, stickers, or other goodies to entice
the listeners.
SELF SERVICE
Based on the genre and potential willing converts out there, we
compile a list of reviewers that may be quite receptive to your
music and hand it off for you to send out yourself. This is only
recommended for those that a have a few releases under their belt
and have a regular tour schedule. This is most effective with consistent
contact and follow-up with writers.
PRESS COVERAGE
Tour [minimum of 4 dates]
A mailing including writers in each target market for concert reviews
and interviews.
National [25 - 300 discs]
This is a press-kit mailing to nationally distributed publications
[magazines, major newspapers, and websites] for album reviews and
interviews.
PRESS RELEASE
If you've got some big news that the whole industry should know,
we draw up a press release [2 drafts and a final version]. We then
send this out to our contacts and follow-up accordingly.
CAMPAIGN DURATION
This is the amount of time we devote to your project and starts
at 4 weeks. The other time frame options are: 6 weeks, 8 weeks,
and 12 weeks.
QUANTITY OF DISCS
We'll send out mailings of anywhere from 25-300 pieces. We DO send
out cds, cdrs (if demo)cassettes, and 7"s.
