PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING:

There are currently twenty-ish specific genres that I focus on, plus the occasional 'wildcard'. Obviously, the generic term 'indie' means different things to different people, I would strongly urge you to listen to at least a bit of the show first and getting a feel for what I do play and what I generally don't. Takes a deep breath, they are as follows, helpfully in alphabetical order:

Alternative / Ambient / Anarcho Punk / Bedroom Pop / Digital Hardcore / DIY / Dream Pop / Electronica / Garage Rock / Indie / Indie Pop /Indie Rock / Industrial / Lo-Fi / Noise Pop / Post-Punk / Power Electronics /  Riot Grrrl / Shoegaze / Synth Pop / Twee Pop.

I do like other things as well, we don't want it to get too daft.

Please don't get the hump if you submit music that I don't play. At this moment in time, your vibe doesn't fit the vibe of the show. I can obviously recommend other stations and shows that are broader. It's the least I can do. Being a gatekeeper is not my intention.

I ONLY ACCEPT MP3's AT 320kps
No vinyl, CD's, cassettes etc.

You can send WAV / FLAC files if you want but obviously you won't get very far past just the one. There is currently a 50MB upload limit imposed by gmail on my email address.

If you want to send me larger files and whole albums then use a free cloud based transfer utility like
wetransfer or dropbox - LINKS BELOW. They still have free to use versions available. Or send me an active link or code from bandcamp or soundcloud for instance, where I can access and download your music. I don't usually respond to Spotify links or other streaming services.

the usual email address:
outsidersmusicshow@gmail.com

Feel free to send in short station ID's, group pics, bios, social media links, one-off gigs, tour dates, your radio stations and shows and podcasts. I consider myself fairly proactive and love to make contact and build relationships with independent artists, labels, promoters, fanzines, record shops... anyone who loves the music The Outsiders seeks to celebrate and promote.

If you are more inclined to prefer a live chat, my 'day job' normally sees me sat at the computer wearing a headset, so feel free to add me to
whatsapp and give me a call. Enable live video if you want but please be aware I may be unshaven, have food / toothpaste down my jumper or some other unfortunate situation that you will be polite enough to ignore.
contact the outsiders!
