Riot Act Media
A boutique music and entertainment PR agency founded in 2005. Its “fan-first” publicists focus on earning press coverage for independent artists, labels, festivals, filmmakers, and arts organizations.
- Best for
- Indie bands with strong records and modest budgets. Indie, alternative, punk, folk, and underground artists with finished music, a compelling story, and enough momentum to support an earned-media campaign.
- Skip if
- You need mainstream pop press. You are still developing your first release, the fee would strain your budget, or you primarily need radio promotion, playlisting, booking, advertising, or guaranteed placements.
- First move
- Email with your strongest press-ready single. Send a concise introduction with a private stream, release and tour dates, short bio, EPK, existing press, campaign goals, and the specific story behind the project.
- Watch out
- This is traditional earned-media PR, so coverage is never guaranteed. Confirm the campaign length, target outlets, territories, reporting schedule, and whether tour press is included before signing.
- Reach
- Focused
- When
- Worth it once you are growing an audience.
