Review CDs

Review CDs should be emailed to the main postal address and directly to the editor in the first instance. If you are sending a demo for review, please make sure the envelope is clearly marked DEMO and include a biography and contact email / url or phone number. Please also ensure your band name is written clearly as deciphering spiky logos can be near impossible.

FAQ

• Will you review my band on MySpace?
• In short: no, so please don't waste your time asking. Having a quick listen to a band on MySpace is fine so providing a link when you contact us is always a good idea, but to give a considered review of a band / release we need to be provided with a physical promo CD. We only review downloaded music when it is provided via a recognised platform such as iPool or Haulix. Please don't send us unsolicited yousendit.com links to albums or attach mp3s to emails. These will not be listened to. 
• Where do I send my demo?
• Demos can be sent to us at the main address on CD (a burn is fine). Please make sure you add the word "DEMO" on the envelope and include a biography and contact details.
• Why do I need to send more than one copy of a CD for review?
• We generally suggest you send in 3 copies to cover your bases. One for review consideration (to the main address), one for our editor (located at a different address), plus a spare copy in the event that we need to get one sent out to another member of our editorial staff.
• Will you come and review my gig?
• Maybe, maybe not... You'll need to email us on lives@ztmag.com and ask us nicely. 
• Will you sponsor our show / tour / festival?
• We might be up for it. As the saying goes, if you don't ask you don't get. You'll need to contact paul@ztmag.com with details before we can give you a definitive answer.  
• I haven't received my subscription yet, why?
• Whilst it's usually far quicker, subscription and back issue orders can take anywhere up to 28 days to process and we do make this clear on all our order forms, whether printed or online. If 28 days later you're pondering the whereabouts of your subscription, subscription gift or back issue(s), please email subs@ztmag.com, include the name the order was made out in and we will get back to you asap. 
• Why does the magazine reach the shops before I get my subscription copy?
• It's a cruel world isn't it? We're not always beaten by the newstrade, however, it is the case that copies pass through the distribution chain far quicker than they pass through the Royal Mail! Without charging a postage premium, subscription copies are handled as a priority. It's then down to the Royal Mail to push copies through your letterboxes. And yes, the speed and quality of Royal Mail's service differs by region. We don't and can't guarantee a before the shops service.
• How can I get back issues?
• Ahhh, well, this is an easy one. Assuming we still have the copy / copies you're after in stock, you can purchase them directly from the store on this site. We offer really good rates for multiple back issues so the collector in you can be satisfied without ending up barefoot.
