Demo Policy

Signifier seeks demo materials from established talent and fresh faces in the genres of rhythmic noise, technoid, power noise, and post industrial. As an independent label, we are especially interested in working with musicians that are fully engaged in the act of self promotion and have the desire to support their release with occassional live performances.  

If you are an artist seeking a label home and you are working on material for a full length release, Signifier wants to hear from you!  

Copy a minimum of 5 of your best unreleased tracks to CD and make sure to include the following on the disc in permanent marker:

  • Artist name
  • Contact name
  • Contact email address
  • Date of submission
Along with your CD, please provide a note including:
 
  • Brief "press release". Be sure to describe your style, background, discography, and release goals.
  • Names, roles, and contact information for all members.
  • Website addresses (include social media like Facebook, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, etc).
  • How did you hear about us?

By sending your demo submission in for consideration, you acknowledge that with the exception of compilations, Signifier plans to distribute all full length releases by both CD and digital download.

Due to the amount of inquiries we receive, we are unable to accept demo material submitted by email, Dropbox, Yousendit, etc.  In addition, we are generally unable to provide feedback on each and every item we receive.  We appreciate your interest and enthusiasm, but please avoid posting your intent to submit demo material in public forums or sending multiple messages; we promise we will be in touch within a reasonable amount of time if your sound is a good match for Signifier.
