POCO POCO RECORDS

Poco Poco Records was formed in the UK in 2010 by musical duo The Daydream Club. The name 'Poco Poco' roughly translates to "Little Little Records". The label is deliberately eclectic covering indie-folk to electronic, ambient to neo-classical, and alt-pop to experimental jazz. Nothing is off the table as long as there is passion behind the tunes.

HERESIARCH

Heresiarch means, “a leader in heresy; the leader of a heretical sect.” The music that I enjoy reviewing the most is usually heretical: experimental/freak folk, ambient, lo-fi, and anything else experimental (although I am open to submissions in any genre).

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is Right Chord Music?

Last year Right Chord Music and our partner blogs which make up the RCM Indie Collective published over 700 reviews, attracting over 100,000 page views from 181 different countries around the world.  Right Chord Music is currently ranked 3rd in Feedspot's Top 60 Indie Music Blogs and websites.

​

What is free and what do I pay for?

It's free to submit your music to Right Chord Music and our blog partners. You only pay if one of our writers agrees to review you and if you accept their offer to review you. You are under no obligation to accept. Reviews on Right Chord Music cost £6 while our partner blogs are free to set their own prices. Most charge between £7-£15 for a feature. 

​

Where is the Right Chord Music Blog?

We keep the submissions and the Blog on separate websites. You can visit the blog here.

​

What kind of music can I submit?

We accept music from any genre, but we only accept high-quality music. Any submissions containing demos or poorly recorded music, bad images, broken links, or missing a biography will immediately be removed by our editor. Remember we only review unsigned and independent music. So if you represent a major label artist, jog on.

​

When should I submit my music?

We recommend you submit your music a week before release day, that gives us time to listen and write. But don't worry, if your music is already out, it's fine to still submit it. After all, if we haven't heard it, it's still new music! Please note we only publish released music that is available on Spotify or Bandcamp as we like to embed the players to help drive streams and income.

​

Who visits the Right Chord Music Blog?

When your music features on the Right Chord Music blog we work hard to ensure people see it and hear it. After 10+ years of publishing our SEO is pretty good and our reviews normally appear on the first page of Google. Last year we attracted visitors from 181 different countries. (Top 5: UK, US, Germany, Canada and Australia).

​

What's the role of a music blog?

The primary role of a music blog is a credible, third-party endorsement. It’s your chance to say to the world – “look someone other than my Mum loves our music!” Turning listeners into fans takes time and typically people need to know your name before they listen to your music. We’ll shout your name from our socials and optimise our content for SEO, so if people search your name they will find positive affirmation about the quality of your music.

 

Where else is my content shared?

The content we share on the RCM Blog is also shared across our social media channels. You can find us @rightchordmusic on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Linkedin. Please note, not every review is shared across every channel. 

​

How will I know if my music has been featured?

The writer will be in touch, and we will also tag you in social media posts, so you won't miss it.

​

How long does the review stay online?

Forever, unless there is a very good reason to take it down. This means the blog post will continue to pick up views every year, and the more people that search, the more people find.

​

How do I get on one of your Right Chord Music playlists?

If we love your music, we will add you. We don't charge you, this is purely an editorial decision. You can discover our playlists here.

​
