If you are a punk rock band or musician and have a new CD out that you want to send out to radio stations for airplay, your best bet is to find some good college or alternative radio stations that either play punk rock music or at least have a regular punk rock show. It can be time consuming searching the internet checking out radio stations websites, formats and programs, but since I have just recently done the same thing myself for my own band's new punk rock disc, I am willing to share with you my list of over thirty good punk rock radio stations to mail your punk rock CDs to for airplay. These are the best of the bunch that I've found on internet searches, and these are all REAL radio stations, NOT internet stations... the list contains all the information you need as far as who to send it to and the full mailing address. I assembled this list in 2009, so most if not all of these should still be good, although it is always a good idea to run a google search to make sure the particular punk rock shows I've mentioned are still on the air. I have also included some extra information on some listings as to which particular stations or programs gave my band some good airplay. Most of these stations played the CD I mailed them at least once and all of these radio stations are taking CD submissions.

One pointer: include a "one sheet" with each CD you mail off -- take the shrink wrap off each CD and fold up the one sheets inside the jewel case. Also, place a small sticker (you can print these out on regular mailing labels) on your CD noting the top two or three songs for radio airplay -- the "hits!"

This list is in no real order, but being that I live in Seattle I am listing the Seattle area radio stations first:
