Welcome to the Vamp & Fade Single Release Portal!
This portal is designed for UNSIGNED Irish artists at any stage of their career—whether you're releasing your first single and need guidance, or you're an industry veteran seeking an efficient, cost-effective way to share your new track with the media.
Through this portal, you can efficiently get your single in front of key radio stations and blogs across Ireland and Northern Ireland. Unlike a full V&F PR campaign, this service is streamlined—focusing solely on digital and radio outreach. While it doesn’t include print or TV pitching, follow-up emails, feedback reports, or international media outreach, it offers a cost-effective way to get your music directly to the right people. Media contacts will have access to your details and can follow up with you if they’re interested.
For tracking radio plays, I recommend using the Radio Monitor tool at www.warmmusic.net to see who's picking up your single. To keep track of blog coverage, you might consider setting up a Google Alert for your song or checking the blogs directly to see where it’s been shared.
A few things to note before you start:
For blogs, your release date must be at least two weeks away.
For radio-only submissions, your song can be released at any time.
Pricing:
€250 for radio-only service
€50 for blogs-only service
€300 for both radio and blogs
Once you complete the form, I will personally select contacts from a regularly updated list of nearly 500 Irish media professionals and tailor the outreach based on your genre. I will also craft a professional press release and create an industry-standard email to ensure your music reaches the right audience.
Testimonials:
Lucy Robinson “Using the artist portal has been so useful for pushing out my recent releases to radio. I'm so pleased that my songs are getting heard across the country on the likes of RTE, BBC and many more. Thank you Kevin for providing a more affordable, quick and easy solution to PR for indie artists like myself. So much work goes into these releases and using the artist portal has taken a lot of pressure off for me while juggling everything else, it's great to know that my tunes are working their way around the nation's radio-waves and actually getting heard.”
Paulie Martin “the service was easy to use, very accessible, great communication and got the right ears listening. A very organic feeling to the whole processing of content!”
Marc Fernandez (Cushla) “We utilized the Vamp and Fade Portal for one of our releases. We found it incredibly helpful in achieving broad coverage and efficiently expanding our network of contacts in a cost-effective manner. We would definitely recommend their services"
Diarmuid Comerford (Foot Squeaker) “We recently used The Portal for our single ‘60 Beats’. Kevin at Vamp & Fade makes it very easy to upload all the assets for your release. Once we had that done, Kevin got back to us with the press release which was excellent. The Portal is an affordable way for bands to get their music out to radio and blogs, saving hours of emailing. Our song was played on numerous radio shows including RTÉ 2FM and featured in Hot Press online. Foot Squeaker gives The Portal a big stamp of approval.”
