Should Your Band Be On The Radio?

Have you ever wanted to hear your song on the radio?
Chances are you're nodding your head and yelling, "heck yes'.
Well, on this episode (of the Your Band Sucks At Business podcast), we break down the do's and don't, why and how's, and all the reasons you maybe shouldn't go after radio as well!
Marcus and I, in our band 'Band of Rascals', spent most of our time focusing on the radio market - and it was a good fit for us! We wrote and performed radio rock.
But we realized while chatting about it, that it might actually not be right for other bands - and that being able to make that realization, in advance, could be career changing.
The world of radio is HUGELY competitive, expensive, and exhausting - but it can also be jet fuel for your bands growth.
Dive into this weeks episode and find out:

• How hiring a radio promoter works
• What a rough radio promotion budget looks like
• Why you might actually want to NOT focus on radio with your band
• The importance of touring to support your radio campaign
• And much, much more!
