Review Policy

ok. you can send us stuff for review, that's nice. but: please read our site first. we get sent plenty of records that have no place being reviewed on the C. there are other places on the internet that will be more than happy to review your records. we have plenty of people at the C who review the records that they buy, we are not desperate for your freebies to "fill space". please do not waste your own time (and ours) by sending us the latest nu-metal funk blues be-bop for review. call me closed minded, i don't care. i don't want to review your record.

collective is pro-diy. this is the stuff that i, personally, want us to cover. diy bands / labels / people and exciting, interesting music that spans genre's such as emo, hardcore, indie rock, punk, electronica, post-rock and all stuff associated. if the stuff you want to send is out of the box or is the kind of thing you think we'll enjoy, then go for it, but if it is straight up nu-metal, faux emo (or, even worse, faux screamo), trend following garage rock or other such bollocks then please give it a miss. if you send this kind of thing, expect about this much shrift:
