A little about Apples And Cats Media:
Apples And Cats Media www.applesandcats.com is a boutique radio promotion company. A &C’s mission begins with providing a dedicated promotional home to a select roster of bands and individual artists, we can get behind 100%. Our specialty is college radio promotion, and guiding indie bands and labels through the sometimes murky waters of the music industry. (If we can’t help you, we know someone who can.)
It is our absolute pleasure to help smaller bands, labels, and artists rocket onto the radar of the college radio community. Although we aren’t opposed to working with people who already have an established name… many of our clients who fall into this special realm are people that we’ve grown with over the years, or have some prior history with us. [Or we are just crazy uber-fans of them.]
We are in the game for the thrill of making something happen that is truly amazing vs. just simply expected.
