we will not guarantee that every submission will be reviewed.

We will NOT review demos, incomplete CDs, CDs with voiceovers, or CDRs. Promo/press kit must accompany your submission. Submission does NOT guarantee a review. For greater detail see Disclaimer section below.

Dangerdog Music Reviews will NOT reviewanything that promotes or glorifies hatred or violence of any kind against any race, creed, or religion, excepting Islam, a religion that desires to kill all but their own radical assholes.

1) Note the What We Review section above for our criteria. DMR reserves the right NOT to review a submission for any reason.

2) Demos, incomplete CDs, CDs with voiceovers, or CDRs will not be reviewed.

3) An Electronic Press Kit (EPK) may be accepted for review with our prior consent. The EPK must be the complete album with promo materials and album cover artwork.

4) Unsolicited or unapproved submissions will not be reviewed, due to the volume of material received. If you want the best chance of getting your music reviewed, then email us with your request and preview MySpace or URL!

5) DMR will not review material more than 60 days old from the current month, unless by prior arrangement with a record label, PR firm, or the artist. DMR always reserves the right NOT to review any submission from anybody.

6) DMR will neither inform you of the receipt of your submission or your review post. Currently, reviews are completed within 4 weeks of submission. Please check the site for your review.

7) SUBMISSION DOES NOT GUARANTEE REVIEW. PERIOD.
