About No Sleep

With many years in the music industry, label president Chris Hansen finally had the chance to do what he had wanted for so long - to help bring back the originality and uniqueness that has been missing in today's music scene for quite some time. No Sleep Records hopes to show the world that no matter what genre of music you listen to, there is still quality music out there. With no stop in sight - No Sleep Records is ready to do what is needed and release pieces of art from artists all over the globe that deserve to be heard. In 2007 No Sleep Records was picked up exclusively by RevDistribution and both parties are excited for the future together.
 

Demo Submissions

Please feel free to send in your demos at anytime. We will try and listen to it right away, and if we like it we will try and get back to you. But if we dont like it, well sorry but you will be added to the Hall Of Douches (aka trash bin and some trash talking maybe). Here are some more guidelines for you to follow...

1. Please send CD's and Vinyl only, obviously CD's would be better (NO CASSETTE TAPES!).
2. Include some kind of information on your band as well as contact info (Please include it on the CD itself as well as on your letter).
3. Please make it look nice whatever you send in, uglyness is not a good thing and won't draw our attention. So make the package and everything look professional!
4. If you send in a promo pic, please don't look like a bunch of douches, you'd be better off sending in a picture of someone out of a magazine if thats the case.
5. DO NOT EMAIL US MP3's OR URLS TO SONGS! Thats a sign of laziness, and that won't get you anywhere. If you can't take the time to go to the post office, QUIT!
6. Make sure the CD is well packaged, a broken CD wont really work
7. Do not contact us asking if we received your package, if you haven't heard from us, we don't want you. Sorry!

Lastly when sending in your Demo's mark the package "ATTN: A&R" - Thanks and stay golden.
