I just had a flashback of what I found out earlier this week
I’m laying down and breathing deeply to help soothe my nervous system

Listen to the advice of a great music critic
1. Include the names of everyone involved and what they played
2. Identify covers and explain why you chose them
3. Highlight unusual instruments and/or techniques
4. Pick ONE important influence and trace their impact on your work

At this historical moment, I have NO patience for politicians who do it

If my younger son weren’t still sick, we’d probably be playing in the snow RIGHT NOW
Charlotte has an 100% chance of precipitation on Sunday with more than a quarter of an inch of ice expected today.
See photos and videos of snow and ice in Charlotte as winter storm moves through

Now playing the first Nurse With Wound record I bought - Automating Volume 2 bought from some record shop under a haberdashery in Clifton, Bristol years ago. A compilation but feels very much like an album.

That’s a very good point; I appreciate this distinction
I try to go with "inspired by" rather than RIYL, because the latter feels like I'm saying "hey, I'm just as good as these amazing bands"
and if i say inspired by Pink Floyd, a Floyd fan can hear that in my stuff, but someone might not necessarily like what I do if they like Floyd

This is exactly why I am pro-RIYL lists
I mean, those are different genres (I mean, 3 of them are, I've never heard of metalcore but I'm willing to go with it), but they're all so closely related I don't think saying you blend them is a useful description. As a listener, I think I'd get more from a list of bands that inspire their sound.

At the moment, the only real advice I can give is to focus more on describing your music accurately than on trying to make it seem like a reinvention of the wheel
in all seriousness it would be cool if you shared your opinion on what a useful/good epk is, from the perspective of someone who doesn’t like them!

Now that’s a REAL endorsement
This is from my actual EPK:

From an EPK I just received:

This is why I don’t normally read EPKs
