General Guidelines

From here you can contribute to punknews.

Everything you contribute will need admin approval before they are posted.

Why Contribute?

Because it's what we survive on! Punknews is all non-profit and volunteer driven.

Pretty much everything on Punknews is cross-linked (or at least its supposed to be or will be!) This means if you add a band to the site, they'll appear at the bottom of a review with links to the page, their website. Add an MP3 to a band, a link to their mp3s will appear etc.

We do try and add each band as we review them, but there is a backlog to go through! :)

CD contributions for reviews

Punknews UK,
Colin Rogers,
Flat 6 Windsor Lodge,
High Street,
Brighton,
BN2 1RP

* All UK punk CDs sent to this address will be reviewed. Non-UK, or non-punk CDs sent to this are not guaranteed for review

* All albums and EPs are guaranteed for review. Previews of releases that only include a few tracks of the release (whats the point?!?), or single track CDs are not guaranteed.

* Make sure you are in the Bands Database and if not add your band. When you do this, your details, webpage, mp3s, other reviews and articles will be linked together at the end of the review, automatically. You will also be informed of when the review gets published, via automated email!!

* After you have submitted a CD you can check the Reviews In The Works page and see if we've received it, and whether we've had the chance to send it to a reviewer yet.

* Please be patient - we, despite what people think, are a small site and get sent lots of CDs - obviously we will review your CD as quickly as we can!

* For ease, don't bother sending the case (unless the package won't protect the CD from being broken) - all CDs are re-sent out to reviewers without their cases anyway.

Flyers

Here are a bunch of flyers - feel free to print them out and hand them out as you like!

The designs here were done by some young lady who Chris managed to convince to do them! I'll get her name next time Chris reads this and PMs me it. (And no - no-one knows what happened to the mysterious 4th flyer. Apparently it was so good it killed anyone who came into contact with it, and hence why I never got to see it....)

Flyer 01 | Flyer 02 | Flyer 03 | Flyer 05 | Flyer 06 | Flyer 07 | Flyer 08 | Flyer 09 | Flyer 10

If you'd like to contribute your own flyer designs, please do! You can PM the WebBastard with the details. Obviously we'll be more than happy to host them and give you full real credit and links to you site etc....!
