Submitting material to Aural Fix
So you want to get reviewed in Aural Fix? Get in line!
No really, we mean it. Send it in and we'll put you in the cue. We don't pay our reviewers, so needless to say they move slower than union workers on a hot summer day...
No, don't email us asking for permission - just mail the friggin press kit in. Your kit should contain a letter introducing yourselves, a bio of what you're all about, and two clean copies of your cd. Why two? One for the publisher who happens to produce a Saturday webcast on webradiowcwp.org and book shows on Long Island, and one to pass off to a minion for reviewing.
And no, don't email us asking if we've received it or when it's going to be printed or posted online - keep picking up the print edition and keep logging onto the site and one day you may be pleasantly surprised.
Yeah, we're pricks - get over it.
Send general genres to: Mike Ferrari, the publisher (who will pass it off to the appropriate minion.)

Submitting articles to Aural Fix
So you want to write for Aural Fix? Join the few, the proud, the drunk... Submit your articles via email at auralfix@optonline.net by the 20th of the month for consideration.
Remember the focus of this publication is LOCAL ARTISTS from the Long Island Region... please save the Metallica and 50 Cent articles for the commercial rags.
If you're an indie label with artists touring through our region, get in touch with us though.
Will we print them? Well if we like them and they are well written, sure, why not? We are not journalistic snobs here. But be forewarned any blatant stroking of a band will not be tolerated.
For reviews of CDs and GIGs we want to know why someone would want to hear/see this artist. (Not how great they are). What is unique about them? What kind of originality are they offering? Are they professional? Do they have image and presence? (Yeah - it matters...)
No, don't email us asking for permission - just send it!
Due to space restrictions we print whatever we can. If we can't squeeze it into the print edition we will try to get it online.
If you want credit for school, have your learning institution email us at auralfix@optonline.net.
